Archived Old hardware ?)

[hairy]

Hi there, tried running terasology on my somewhat old machine, getting just an error:

"SCHWERWIEGEND: Your GPU driver is not supporting the mandatory versions of OpenGL. Considered updating your GPU drivers?"

Well, drivers are updated, but GPU (NvidiaGeforce4 Go 320) does not support newer OpenGL...

No work around there, right?

Geforce4?
Is this the series before the 5xxx and 6xxx series? If yes then I have bad news for you...

Yeah, no workaround there I'm afraid. It is possible we'll expand compatibility in the future, but no solid plans at the moment.

Nym Traveel, yes, 4 series... pretty old.
Cervator: would be great... I hate throwing things away, when they still work (mostly).

At least those checks I put in there a while ago actually created a more or less meaningful error message. Impressive! I'm sorry that we're not supporting that old GPUs at the moment though.

A decent error log is a sign of good programming manners.

(However, I will get some better hardware...)

Edit: Can you guys actually define, what the minimum hardware specs would be (CPU/GPU)?
