incompatible OpenGL version

[ember moss]

Recently built my own pc and wanted to continue my modded journey. But when I started up olympus I got this error saying I need OpenGL 2.1 or ES 2 and i have OpenGl 1.1.0. What do I do? I have an rtx 4070 super if that helps

[grim panther]

olympus is using your integrated graphics card

[ember moss]

So I have to get a new cpu for it to work?

[grim panther]

no

you can change it from windows settings

though i forgot where exactly

something about changing its power profile?

[ember moss]

Ohhhh thank youu

I'll try it when I'm back home

[grim panther]

oh i found it

from settings, system > display > display settings (bottommost option) > classic application, then browse and find olympus (%AppData%\Olympus\main.exe) and set it to high performance

@ember moss

[ember moss]

Thanks I'll try it when home, appreciate the help

[grim panther]

i remember encountering a similar issue, it was because i didn't have hardware acceleration enabled on my vm
then someone else had it and suggesting this worked for them

[ember moss]

Well let's hope it works for me

[grim panther]

likely will

[ember moss]

Is it alright if I ping you to update on if it works or not

I'll likely not home for quite a bit

[grim panther]

sure

[ruby trout]

usually selecting which gpu to use is more of a laptop thing, on a pc it should just use whichever one the monitor is plugged into

[ember moss]

Works

[ember moss]

@grim panther

[grim panther]

windows is funny and wants to micromanage the gpu if you have two

which can lead to this

[grim panther]

but also, gg

[ember moss]

@grim panther something messed up happened it worked for a bit, at least everest did but I noticed I didn't get an olympus shortcut so I tried getting olympus again and I think it deleted itself or something, then why I try to download olympus again the same error accord eventhough I put it on high performance

I have both the github and non github olympus downloaded so maybe that's messing with it?

why are neither working anymore

[ember moss]

Been removing and re adding the appdata and putting on high performance I still get the sane message no matter what i try

[grim panther]

[ember moss]

idk what to do

[grim panther]

uhhhh uninstall olympus?

then install it again, and try removing and readding the performance setting

[ember moss]

Nada whenever I try to run it with appdata att high performance it just says the same thing

Been deleting and reading for a while now

and whenever i open everest i get this error

[grim panther]

ffs ive seen this before and idk why this file is in use

...wait

[grim panther]

can you check something for me real quick

open the game files

go to the orig folder and go to the Saves folder

or no actually

just the orig folder

screenshot what you see

[ember moss]

celeste game files?

[grim panther]

yes

[ember moss]

There is a lot so I'll send a few screenshots

[grim panther]

nono

i just want the orig folder

and the folders at the top

one is enough

[ember moss]

Ohhh

Sorry i didn't see it before

here

[grim panther]

ok so it is a symlink

@modest kiln we might need to update the everest installer cus it tries to copy the file from itself to itself

Saves\0-modsave-AchievementHelper.celeste -> orig\Saves\0-modsave-AchievementHelper.celeste

but orig\Saves is a symlink to Saves

[modest kiln]

Oh btw, the solution here is to simply install drivers for your GPU

Since a current-gen GPU definitely supports a more modern OpenGL version than one which came out 27 years ago

https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/226798/en-us/

This is the one you want

[grim panther]

what about the igpu

cus it worked for a second

then it didn't

[modest kiln]

Windows usually is smart enough to pick out the correct GPU / graphics device when needed

But even then, igpus also support OpenGL versions more recent than those which came out 27 years ago

The reason it fails here is because it doesn't pick up any GPU whatsoever

[grim panther]

wtf

but then

how did it work before

[modest kiln]

That one OpenGL thing it lists is one which is always provided by Windows

So yeah, try installing the driver and rebooting

[grim panther]

i suppose

[ruby trout]

how does this even work when the different gpus have separate outputs on a desktop pc

[modest kiln]

Multi-monitor setups with different GPUs are an entirely different clusterfuck

I don't know the exact mechanisms at play here of the top of my head, but it involves cross-GPU framebuffer copies through the compositor afaik

[ruby trout]

I don't have to worry about that because I don't have an iGPU lol

[modest kiln]

[ember moss]

once i run it everything should work?

[grim panther]

yea

its straight from nvidia's website

[ember moss]

i'll update you once it's done

[grim panther]

oh no, don't update me
i want to stay the same version /s

[modest kiln]

Note that this makes Olympus work, it doesn't fix the old installer

[ember moss]

btw what am i downloading what is a driver?

[grim panther]

yes

[ember moss]

so i should delete the files i have already downloaded?

[grim panther]

oh wait, you're not asking whether it is a driver

[modest kiln]

[grim panther]

so like, your computer has a bunch of hardware installed

like the cpu, graphics card, sound card, etc

that's all well and good

but

[ember moss]

please elborate on what you mean i don't want to break it

[grim panther]

its one thing having the hardware, its another one being able to talk with it

that is the job of a driver - its job is to talk with (drive) the hardware

in your case, the graphics card

its like a bridge between your operating system and the hardware

[ember moss]

should i get the express or custom version?

[grim panther]

eh express

[ember moss]

[ember moss]

Worked

[grim panther]

phew

[ember moss]

Mods even work like they should

I am now eevee

Thankss I appreciate it a ton

Also what more can you do with a driver if you don't mind telling me

[crimson summit]

drivers allow for fun stuff like being able to use your computer properly

[ember moss]

Yay
