"R_OPENGL: OpenGL driver not accelerated!"

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.

It's not the hardware he's talking about, he's talking about the fact that you're under-utilizing it by not having drivers for your nvidia.

It's a handed down prebuilt pc, i can't control anything about the hardware.

That's probably the main problem. My graphics card is an nvidia geforce gt 525m, but that's probably not the problem as my computer isn't showing any problems that match gpu failures. Guess i'll have to wait for a wtfi-like fix for newer versions of GZDoom.

oh yeah, just saying: using wtfi-fixed versions of gzdoom works fine.

Why are you using an Intel driver for your integrated chipset and not one for the Geforce? That means that this card remains completely unused.

I'm thinking about changing that error to provide some more helpful diagnostic information about why GZDoom doesn't start, including some vital OpenGL strings if possible.

That's probably the main problem. My graphics card is an nvidia geforce gt 525m, but that's probably not the problem as my computer isn't showing any problems that match gpu failures. Guess i'll have to wait for a wtfi-like fix for newer versions of GZDoom.

Somehow there is an issue with your graphics card drivers. What's your card and driver version (year and month of release)?

I'm getting this error whenever I try to launch GZDoom. GZDoom has been working perfectly fine until today, where it just straight up decided to stop working. I am running windows 10, and no, i did not get an update for it or anything. The old "use wtfi" fix is no longer working, since you get a whole other error if you do that. I am not the admin on this computer, so do you guys know any way to fix GZDoom without inputting admin passwords anywhere?
