Title: 'OpenGl Renderer does not support OpenGL2.0'
Post by: SpartanB on 2017-02-13 23:09:39

Hey, guys
So, I bought the Steam version of FF7 and it works OK when I launch from Steam
But, after loading the mods on 7th Heaven, I try to launch the game from there and I get this:

Using an onboard until next friday. But I experienced with mods before and I'm sure the card is not the point, since I face the exact same problem when I try to run the FF7 from the original discs

I see this error only if I use the GameConverter_7H, even if I don't load any mods at all

The converter converts the steam version to the disc version. So yes, your internal GPU can't handle opengl2.0 instructions. But as sithlord48 said, check if its driver is up to date.

that is not a card model.  Anyway, the microsoft provided drivers DO NOT provide openGL 2.0 . YOU MUST install the venders drivers from their web page.

This needs to be big and bold. Whether your onboard graphics are Intel crap or an AMD APU or whatever, get the drivers from Intel or AMD. When you upgrade on Friday, get the drivers from the manufacturer's website. Relying on Windows Update for graphics drivers is an easy way to ensure that you will struggle with OpenGL games.

This needs to go in both the basic trouble shooting FAQ as well as the 7th Heaven FAQ.. this is not the 1st time we have had that exact question.
