Forcing opengl 3.x?

Forum rules
Contrary to popular belief, we are not all-knowing-all-seeing magical beings!

If you want help you're going to have to provide lots of info. Like what is your hardware, what is your operating system, what version of GZDoom/LZDoom/whatever you're using, what mods you're loading, how you're loading it, what you've already tried for fixing the problem, and anything else that is even remotely relevant to the problem.

We can't magically figure out what it is if you're going to be vague, and if we feel like you're just wasting our time with guessing games we will act like that's what you're really doing and won't help you.

As in deleting the ini file? Seems to make no difference.

Tried to via command line and the video mode menu (What I could see of it at least), and it either didn't work or caused the same issue. Log from using -width 1280 and -height 720 (After the gl and log file arguments/switches):

What kind of graphics hardware do you have? Broken drivers like this are quite rare and normally an update should be possible.
Intel 5500. The laptop would be from about 2015 I think? Which makes it unusual that it would have this issue - 3000 and below, sure, not expected to run the port.

If you have OpenGL 4.3 then you also have OpenGLES as the latter is a subset of OpenGL.

More details would be needed - you know the drill.
Gles didn't work either, here's my log with the -glversion switch:

And since screenshots didn't seem to work, and I can't see the menu in order to bind it to a key, some phone screenshots of what the console and the map look like:

Also note that GL 3.3 mostly runs the same code as GL 4.3, the main difference being that it cannot persistently map the buffer and has to lock/unlock it before drawing anything.
