Upgrade to Windows 10 error

[Ref]

Help!
Just upgraded to Windows 10 and tried to run a Love file that ran under Windows 7.
Got the following message:

Code: Select all

Error
main.lua 13: The normal canvas format is not supported by your OpenGL implementation.
Traceback
[c]:In function 'newCanvas'

Scripts created using canvases and Lua with the CD library work fine.
Suggestions?

What are the return results of [wiki]love.graphics.getRendererInfo[/wiki] ? If it reports a Microsoft OpenGL 1.1 renderer, then you probably don't have OpenGL-capable graphics drivers installed.

[Ref]

Right! This is what I get:

Code: Select all

OpenGL	1.1.0	Microsoft Corporation	GDI Generic

and I guess that the following message is consistent with this:

Code: Select all

Error
shade.lua 16: Sorry, your graphics card doesn't support shaders.
Traceback
[C]:In function 'newShader'

So you're saying that the upgrade to Windows 10 somehow degraded my graphics card software?
Recommended steps to take to resolve?

[Davidobot]

Try updating your drivers? Maybe windows 10 overwrote your previous ones?

Hi Davidobot!
Usual frustration with updating software.
Windows has no updates for me.
Intel likewise says there are no updates for my system.
Downloaded Acer driver but still have same problem.
I'm sure that someone who knows what they are doing could come up with a fix.
Just not within my capabilities.
Hope other people wont have same problem using Love ( Lua 5.1 - CD combo has no problem creating canvases.)
Any help appreciated.

You can always run LöveFTW (although it's not quite ready for general use just yet).

Fixed - dumped Windows 10 and reverted to Windows 7.
Now my OpenGLas reported by love.graphics.getRendererInfo( ) is:

Code: Select all

OpenGL	2.1.0 - Build 8.15.10.2302	Intel	Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family

Microsoft has not been helpful.
Hope no one else has to go through this frustration otherwise Love could have a limit audience as people upgrade.

Unfortunately, Windows 10 screwing up drivers is a known issue, and there are a lot of things that don't have proper drivers working either.

I wouldn't suspect Windows not having proper OpenGL drivers, but some of the things I've seen with Windows 10... I wouldn't say it's impossible.

I had to perform a lot of hackery to get a proper display adapter working with this machine, but after that, all's good.
You do have to manually obtain the drivers; in my case I had to go steal old drivers from AMD because my hardware is a bit dated.

As for the OP, you might have to go check out Intel's collection for your GPU, if you haven't already! I don't know how good Intel's collection of display drivers are offhand, but that may or may not be one solution.

Then again, you've already ditched Windows 10. Oh well.

I too gave Windows 10 a shot (on my notebook) and now löve gets some strange behavior if I run it on my intel hd4000. When runig löve on the nvidia 640 everything is fine though ...

my testgame crashes with this error (second line is output of love.graphics.getRendererInfo)

Code: Select all

Program 'love.exe' started in 'C:\Users\rellig\Desktop\git\testgame\src' (pid: 10032).

It's not too urgent at the moment, just wantet your guys oppinions.
