Exe not working - "Unable to create OpenGL window"

[ernelopez]

Hi!

I'm slowly learning to make simple games in Löve2d. My operating system is Ubuntu Linux; I have followed the instructions given here. I donloaded the 32bit Windows zip file, and made an exe with the command

Code: Select all

cat love.exe mygame.love > mygame.exe

When I try to see how it works on a laptop with Windows, this message pops up:

Unable to create OpenGL window
The program requires a graphic card and video drivers which support OpenGL 2.1 or OpenGL ES 2.
Detected OpenGL version:
1.1.0 - GDI Generic (Microsoft Corporation)

I can't find any help on this... Can anyone tell me how to do an exe which works? The game looks fine on my PC.

Best regards
Ernesto

LÖVE 0.10.x needs OpenGL 2.1 or OpenGL ES 2.

The drivers (and probably the GPU) in the Windows laptop don't seem to support that version. You need to either downgrade to LÖVE 0.9.x or upgrade the laptop's drivers (or the laptop) to one that supports OpenGL 2.1.

Thanks a lot!
I don't thinl I'll be able to upgrade nothing on this laptop. It is very old...
