TDM v2.10 unable to initialize OpenGL on laptop w. MX150

Asus i5 zenbook with MX150.  

Opened my WIP in the laptop to check and compare framerates against my i5 desktop with geforce 1060.  Since I'm using the dev build 16269-9407 on the desktop, used the same build on the laptop and got "Unable to initialize OpenGL" screen.  

Backtracked thru' the dev builds and found the last working version was dev16225-9284, which loads the game fine.  Problem starts with dev16238-9330 and the two newer versions.

No similar problem on the desktop.

(and.... WIP framerates on the laptop will give some people heart attacks.  Tho' I find it still playable - TDM isn't deathmatch - and it looks very good on that little machine.)

1.  opening TDM, prior to mission loading:  GPU 1 - copy (nvidia)

    after mission loaded:  GPU 1 - 3D (nvidia)

2.  laptop:  1920x1080

     desktop:  3840x2160  (a cheap LG TV - good for my failing eyesight, esp. when mapping, but looks like washed out crap compared to the crisp clear color of the laptop)

nvidia control panel can allow me to choose "preferred graphics processor" but ignores that when loading games.

Thanks

The same build that fails on the laptop still works OK on the desktop, right?

Laptop is running Windows?

I could try my nVidia laptop later this weekend, but can you try the latest drivers from Intel, nVidia, and Asus website in the meantime?

Ah, and also try changing the r_glCoreProfile to 0 in the .cfg

It's fixed - by updating the intel gfx with the intel drivers at the Asus site.

I had thought, since it was using the nvidia chip, that updating the nvidia drivers would be enough.  But I guess that "GPU 1 -copy" also addresses the intel chip.

Thanks, and I apologize for wasting your time!

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
