[Linux] OpenGL version 3.1 is required error

thechiprel

Hello,

When i try to start the game with optirun the game doesn't start and in the log i get the following:

Error: OpenGL version 3.1 is required

And when i try to start the game with my intel gpu i get this:

Error: OpenGL version 3.1 is required
Error: Couldn't initialize the render device.

I'm using Arch Linux (64 bit) with Openbox WM and no DE and all the drivers and the kernel are up to date.

Here is the output of glxinfo | grep -i opengl

OpenGL vendor string: Intel Open Source Technology Center
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) Sandybridge Mobile
OpenGL core profile version string: 3.1 (Core Profile) Mesa 10.0.1
OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 1.40
OpenGL core profile context flags: (none)
OpenGL core profile extensions:
OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 10.0.1
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30
OpenGL context flags: (none)
OpenGL extensions:

Where could the problem be?

*(Edited post) I just saw on steam system information that steam currently is using OpenGL Version: 3.0
I will try to fix that now.

Thanks,

Confused

So, the mesa drivers will not run ns2.

NS2 requires opengl 3.1 compatability mode which is not supported in by mesa. @Max, has mentioned before that he would like to support 3.1 core but has not yet had a chance to make this change. Just like it says in the linux guide Mesa is not supported at this time.

Sorry.
