what did you do?

what he said what did u do

I have same issue,sry for opening new topic,my bad (or i think is the same :S).Mine is here : http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1189454-the-opengl-driver-doesnt-support/

I have no idea. A basic ATI card I believe that came with the laptop. Its played a few games on here and even if the game lags because the card is too low (The Witcher) it still pulls up. I was able to play DC Universe on here. Not to the best extent but it was horrible.

poor brink, it had such potential

For everyone with this error:

Find the line that looks like this:

Vendor: 8086 Device: 0046

That's info on your video card. Vendor 8086 is Intel.

0046 is the Auburndale/Havendale Integrated Graphics Controller
2a42 is the Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller

Neither of these really meet the minimum requirements for the game. They're integrated Intel graphics solutions and simply cannot come close to the power and features of a discrete graphics solution from AMD or nVidia.

Now, some newer systems may have both integrated graphics and discrete graphics cards. Brink may not be set up to pick the better of the two video card options to pick your discrete graphics card over the integrated card. You may want to check your device manager:

Windows 7/Vista

Open the Start Menu and select Control Panel.
In the Control Panel, select Hardware and Sound.
Then select Device Manager.
It may ask you to approve opening the device manager, if so, approve it.
Expand the Display Adapters section to see the devices listed here.
You should see some kind of Intel Graphics adapter, and if you have a second graphics device in your system it too will be listed.

Potentially, if you have multiple graphics devices in your system you may be able to disable the Intel graphics, but that could cause other problems and I can't recommend it. If you don't have a discrete graphics card in your system then in all likelyhood you simply will not be able to run Brink. I don't believe any of Intel's integrated graphics solutions are really up to the task (I could be wrong).

It says I have a Mobile Intel® 4 Series Express Chipset Family. So I'm taking it I'm not able to play Brink. Which is weird because I'm able to play some games like DC Universe Online and Half-Life 2 but not The Witcher and in this case Brink.

It all depends on which graphics functions are being called by the game. Intel does a better job of supporting DirectX functions than it does OpenGL functions it seems.

But it must not be just that because people are able to run Portal 2 and Crysis 2 with no problems but Brink does this to them. I wonder if it has anything to do with the PSN being down. I know it did something to Portal 2 from what I was told but I have no idea. Lol

PSN being down just kept people from playing coop Portal 2 on their PS3's.
From what I understand, the PC versions of Crysis 2 and Portal 2 use Direct3D (one of the major components of DirectX) for rendering, Brink uses OpenGL for rendering. Thus a graphics card may fully support DirectX 10 or 11, but not fully implement OpenGL could run the other games without issue, but not Brink.

It's just how things go. For anyone wanting to play the vast majority of PC games, you pretty much need to have either an AMD or nVidia graphics card in your system. And as graphics on PCs outpace those in consoles, you generally will need to upgrade video cards every few years if you want to keep up with the features game developers implement.

See and that's the thing, who wants to upgrade video cards every few years? I got Brink on PC for free and so I wanted to play it to see if it was good or not. I'm not a big PC gamer. (I have a Xbox 360 and PS3) But it seems people who have gaming PCs are still having issues. Idk what it is or what's stopping it. I just know it svcks. Lol. As for the DirectX I think my laptop runs it. Don't quote me though. Lol. Whatver it is, I hope they fix it soon because ALOT of people are not gonna be happy since they kicked out $40 or $50 or whatever it is on Steam. Lol.

It's just the nature of the beast unfortunately. I enjoy gaming on PC, but I also enjoy my Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii. Really, the only reasonable solution for PC gaming is a desktop system, one where you can swap out your video card every few years. It's entirely feasible to keep the same system for 5-6 years these days and just replace the video card for $100-200 as necessary. But again, that's only if PC gaming is your thing. This is the number one reason a lot of PC gamers have moved to consoles, and I certainly couldn't fault them for that. It is a hassle to keep up-to-date on PC hardware. It requires more effort to keep up on learning about the new technology to make informed decisions about upgrades, and the disposable income to purchase upgrades more frequently. The plus side is that you can get better graphics on PCs than you do on consoles. For me it also means being able to use mouse/keyboard for FPS's as I really cannot stand anolog sticks for aiming. It's also gives me access to lots of PC-only games I like, such as Civilization. It just becomes a matter of figuring out if it's worth it for you.

Our folks here noticed that the processor looks to be a little below the minimum requirements.
