Hi, just downloaded GPlates for the first time and upon starting it for the first time it runs, and then immediately closes itself.
I’ve attached a screenshot from the GPlates-log.txt file and I’d appreciate any help I could get.
I’ve looked at a few other Q&A, but I haven’t found anyone with the same issue as I.
Hi Dreaming_Johnny,
It might be that your system is using OpenGL 1.1 (which is actually quite ancient). And that might be because you don’t have any OpenGL drivers installed.
The error message is coming from within the Qt library that GPlates uses. It requires OpenGL 2.0 (which is also very old). This thread also has the same error message, and the system in question had only OpenGL 1.1.
You were right @john.cannon, I was able to do some digging after reading the thread you linked to, and there seems to have been an issue with the drivers for one of my graphic cards. It’s all working fine now, so thank you.
