cmtrain01 Posted December 25, 2025 Report Posted December 25, 2025 Hey Everyone, As a heads up I am new to Linux, I just switch from windows back in November. I recently learned that my computer was using the wrong graphics driver and switched to the recommend one. Now, whenever I try to run vintage story it instantly crashes, giving me this report (System.Exception: ** Unable to start OpenGL graphics.) I am assuming I need to tell OpenGL to use the new graphics driver, but I don't know how to do that. Does anyone know how I can do this or what the problem might be?
pigfood Posted December 26, 2025 Report Posted December 26, 2025 Your post is devoid of any pertinent information required for trouble shooting. What is your GPU hardware? Which graphics driver config are you using? Do you have a system with multiple GPUs (e.g. laptop)? Have you tried a very simple OpenGL app like glxgears to check if OpenGL is working on your system? I've used 3 different AMD GPUs with Vintage Story on Gentoo and Arch Linux and never had issues like that.
