Resolved Black Window -> Nothing

[Devan Zadkiel]

So I shuffled through some forums and found that there were those who had similar issues to me. However, I'm not sure how to go about solving the problem. I am not that tech-savvy so I admit I have been having a few troubles trying to piece everything together so I would love some 'dumb-it-down' help. :}

My problem is [through the launcher] I'll go to start the game, it will load, the window will pop up black, hold for a few moments, then disappear and nothing will happen.

STATS:
Processor: Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU N2930 @ 1.83GHz
Installed Memory (RAM): 8.00 GB (7.89 GB usable)
System Type: 64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor
Pen and Touch: Full Windows Touch Support with 10 Touch Points

I don't get any messages or anything, it just doesn't work.

Help please?

Hey @Devan Zadkiel , welcome to the forum!

Under Windows you can find the game's log file under the Saved Games folder, typically located at C:\Users\<user>\Saved Games. Uploading the log to a pastesite, e.g. paste.ubuntu.com, and sharing the link here will likely help us.

Thank you! It looks like a problem with your graphics card which seems to be an IntelHD device. We had some problems with it in the past, but you can try to update the drivers just to be sure...

Please create a github issue with a exact graphic card & driver version name. We may be able to create a workaround for your graphic driver by removing the "f"s from the constants.

We explicitly state that glsl 1.20 should be used, so it's a bug in the graphic driver that it complains about something that got added in 1.20.

Hi @Devan Zadkiel !

This may (partially?) be the same as https://github.com/MovingBlocks/Terasology/issues/1215 although in that case it isn't fatal (I get it on my tablet).

@Devan Zadkiel - try the latest dev build now? It might be we just fixed the warnings with your issue hidden beneath, but we addressed #1215 on GitHub

Marking this (most likely?) resolved / obsolete since we've made changes that seem related.

@Devan Zadkiel if you ever see this and get a chance to retest please do and let us know for sure
