Hi , I'm really sorry to say, but I have same problem. It says that my graphic card doesn't support Open GL 3.1 .
I have Alienware M17X Laptop , Intel Quad 2 Core 2.0 GHZ , nVidia 1GB GTX 260M , 4 Gb Ram. I have drivers old (2009) but I cannot update to latest 2011 drivers because whenever I update to latest nVidia drivers my laptop would not work properly and games and colors on my laptop are not great and stable like original drivers from my Laptop Cd. Can anybody tell me what to do to start this game ?



I also updated to update 3 of Brink.

Did you uninstall the drivers from 2009 before installing the new ones?

No I didn't uninstall the 2009 drivers. My windows updated drivers to ...27/6/2010 and version 8.17.12.5738 . The game is running with this drivers but is running low. Any idea what should I do ?

My specs : Intel QUAD 2 core 2,0 ghZ, nVidia 1GHZ GTX 260M , 4 GB ram. Should I have problem running this game because is new ? I want to play this game smoothly like other games I play. and do I have to install the latest drivers from nVidia web page ?

Hey guys,

i'm experiancing the same problem. I use an ATI Radeon HD 4800 and i get the same incompatibility message. Is there any way to fix this? Strangest thing: The game says that it supports Ati Radeon 2900 HD Pro or higher
