| Symptom | Likely Cause | |---------|---------------| | OpenGL version stuck at 3.3 or lower | Your GPU does not support 4.4, or you’re using Microsoft’s generic Basic Display Adapter driver. | | Game says “OpenGL 4.4 not found” but Extensions Viewer shows 4.4 | The game is using software rendering (e.g., Mesa/LLVMpipe) or a different OpenGL DLL (e.g., opengl32.dll in the game folder). | | OpenGL Extensions Viewer crashes | Corrupted driver install. Use DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) in Safe Mode to cleanly remove and reinstall. |
