Accidently I switched to openGL drivers

Post by andre2 »

Hi,
I wanted to try Factorio on a TV.
My laptop has Intel HD3000 graphics.
On an error message regarding running the TV, windows suggested to switch to openGL.
Now on starting Factorio I have an errormessage.
It says that I need OpenGL 3.3. And I have only 1.1.

I want to switch back from openGL. But I dont even know what to search for. I dont know the name of the other driver variant.

Can anyone help please?

EDIT: It is DirectX maybe. But still I dont know how to switch back for Factorio.

Open the config.ini (see my signature) in a text editor and set force-opengl to false, save the file.
