Posted · Unable to install latest Cura. OpenGL 2.0 or higher required.

I am unable to get any of the later versions of Cura to open. I get the message Open GL 2.0 or higher required. On one of my computers I have found I have Open GL 3.1 so it should meet the required criteria on that front. Can anyone give me a solution to this. The internet seems pretty vague on this and I keep going round in circles. I notice this seems to be a common problem with Open GL. Screenshot(3).png.918034511621065223e15798205bb3f9.png

    Support for OpenGL 3... is kind an odd thing.. most hardware went from OpenGL 2 -> OpenGL 4

    That's a weird statement. For example the second gen Intel i3/i5/i7 chips (Sandy Bridge) had an iGPU (HD 3000 and 2000) that supported up to OpenGL 3.1 or 3.3.

     

    It could be that @printsgeorge just needs to find a (better) driver for their Intel chipset. Or they have a different GPU that supports OpenGL 3.x, and if it does that it more than likely also supports OpenGL 2.0.

    I'm having the same problem as printsgeorge.  Wondering you found a way to resolve this?  My system does meet the requirements.
