Wildling Posted November 27, 2020 Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 Hi Tyron, I wanted to try Vintage Story but get the following error when starting the game. So my good old Thinkpad T420 with NVS 4200M is too old? Running on 64 bit Windows with 8 GB RAM Version: v1.13.4 (Stable)27.11.2020 18:31:07: Critical error occurred System.NotSupportedException: Your graphics card does not support the extensions GL_ARB_explicit_attrib_location which is required to start the game bei Vintagestory.Client.NoObf.ClientPlatformWindows.LogAndTestHardwareInfos() bei _lYLQLGyldvbDG9rPQyiRVeIqQVp._EEzpApWBQHtHR4iMJabXK2wDvlA(_ex0VSgRAdtsvhANmJHZHaf9ATWt , String[] ) bei _IcGByoJhapvESnm6vaOawAHbkeU._EEzpApWBQHtHR4iMJabXK2wDvlA(ThreadStart ) ------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 You may need a newer graphics card driver with a newer version of OpenGL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildling Posted December 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 This solved the issue and it starts now. Thank you very much! The game seems pretty demanding for its style. I can only run it on "pathetic" settings which is almost unplayable. That's surprising since I played games like WoW, Civ5, XCom or Banished on this laptop in good quality.

Tyron Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 What graphics hardware do you have? If its an nvidia card its possible that it selects your slow integrated graphics instead of your high performance one. You can fix that by setting up a profile in the nvidia control panel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildling Posted December 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 It is an Nvidia (NVS 4200m) and the game really uses it, showing up as active program in the control panel. It's just too weak. I will come back to the game when I have a new computer which is planned anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildling Posted December 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2020 I gave it another try on weekend with a smaller custom map and less trees, which seems to have an effect. Lots of trees on screen drop fps on my system. That might be a tip for those with a weak card. Still have to lower resolution to 50% but could increase sight and it's playable. My first bivouac in Vintage Story..^^ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
