Godot error - opengl not supported

@TwistedTwigleg said: Hmm, the only other thing I can think of is to let device manager handle it for you. If you select the graphics card in device manager, right click it, open its properties, select the "update driver" button, and then select "search automatically for updated driver software". That way, Windows 7 will try to find the driver for you. This guide on LifeWire shows most of the steps (ignore step 0, and diverge at step 7 to use automatic driver updates).

Outside of that, I'm really not sure, sorry!

I tried that 2 times but nothing. Windows can't find drivers. Also, minecraft is using OpenGL rendering right? If I can run mc 1.15.2, the problem is by godot, If can't, graphics card. Earlier I was able to run mc 1.15.2 so, I'll try.

Flip it It's coz of graphics card, I can't run minecraft. Error same as in godot, opengl not supported. Now what to do? Re-install system? Idk how to remove properly drivers....

I'm raged now

While I understand the situation is frustrating, please note that we have a rule on the forums against cursing, even if it is censored via replacing letters. I have edited your post accordingly. Please consider this a warning.

As for how to handle the driver situation, I'll do some research and get back to you on what I have found.

TwistedTwigleg

Okay, based on what I have found, you should be able to roll back the driver and revert it to the one you were previously using. According to the Microsoft Support page, you can go to device manager, right click the device, go the properties and then the drivers tab, and there should be an option to roll back the driver. If the button is there, I would try that. If it is not, don't panic, there is almost certainly another way to tackle the issue.

After bsod, I runned safe mode. I automatically opened device manager, and select old version (in this case, 8.173.0.0) but it didn't help. I think windows is using 50% of old drivers and 50% of new so he don't know, what opengl is supported.

Okay, do you have a program called "AMD Catalyist" installed? If you, when you launch it, does it offer any way to update your drivers?

I did some more looking, and it appears that AMD Catalyist 15.7.1 appears to support the Radeon HD 5000 series, of which your card should fall into, based on what I have read from Wikipedia about the device. You can download it here from AMDs website, but I would first double check to see if you have it already.

Yes, I installed it and from it downloaded drivers. During installation I got bsod.

Did you install in admin mode? Or did you install it as a normal Windows user? It is likely that admin mode is required to install it.

Welp, I have only 1 user in windows. It's admin user, but I think it has been installed in admin mode.

TwistedTwigleg

That's fine, you likely need to install it as an admin. Did you tell it to "run as admin" when installing? If not, I would try installing it with "run as admin" and see if that fixes the issue. It might not work, but it seems like it might be the best chance at fixing the issue.

Yes, it asked for it and I choosed "Yes". EDIT: Nothing changed, still bsod. What to do now? Windows is probably using 50% of old and new drivers. Idk what to do....

I doubt Windows is using 50% of both drivers, as that’s not really possible with how drivers work. What is more likely is that Windows is using the factory driver, which doesn’t have OpenGL support.

Honestly, I'm not 100% sure on what to do. You could try Googling "AMD Radeon 5600 HD driver" and see if anything there pops up, but when I did that, I couldn't find anything official from AMD. There is a site called AMD-drivers that supposedly has a driver for the graphics card, but I have no idea how reputable the site is, so I guess try it at your own risk.

One thing that occurred to me, are you using Windows 7 32-bit or 64-bit? Maybe you accidentally installed the wrong driver for the bit level of Windows? That might explain the BSOD, though I'm just guessing at this point. Did you PC come with a support number or is there a local technician you can contact? They might be able to help you figure out what is going on better, since they can either work directly with the machine, or know the exact parts and may even have the drivers stored somewhere.

Did you readed what I written? edit: nvm

Actually, the driver fro graphics card (factory) was 8.173.0.0 which supports opengl, I know it because of minecraft. I get error with opengl but before updating drivers, it was working fine. Same as godot (Yea, I downloaded this engine for first time about 2- 3 years ago or even more).

I know that site, I'm also not sure if this drivers have malwares or (better no) ransomwares.

I have downloaded drivers for 64-bit version, my windows is using 64-bit architecture, same as cpu.

Either it's Radeon HD 5600(released about a decade ago) or it's the Radeon RX 5600/RX 5600 XT(fairly new) but there is no Radeon 5600 HD.

You might simply be installing the wrong drivers.

I Just now remembered, I have drivers on CD, so I'll try to install drivers from it and see if it fixes issue. But yes, I'm 100% sure it's ATI Radeon 5600 HD

I recon then that if it is a desktop system and you have an opportunity to do so you might be best off replacing the GPU.

Well, graphics card is not bad. It's just error after installing drivers. When I find cd disk and install drivers from it, I tell it here.

But that's sad, that I can't do games in godot right now...

Calinou

In the meantime, you can install a software OpenGL fallback just for Godot. It'll be very slow, but it will still open and render correctly regardless of the graphics card.
