Not good with computers and unsure how to fix, any advice or help is appreciated!

This also happened to me. Because I have 2 GPUs. My drivers where set to switch between the two cards. So, I had no main card. All I did to fix it was set a primary card. On AMD use hybrid graphics instead of Smart Access.

OpenTK needs .NET7 to communicate to OpenGL.

Reload your .NET7. Link and instructions on the Client Downloads page.

This helped. Thank you!!

This worked for me as well thank you so much!

Never got to the hybrid graphics settings, but hitting "reset to default settings" in the GPU selection in windows settings (switched from assignment to letting windows decide) for the app worked for me before I needed to.
