BroCrafter Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 Hello, Today I bought Leadwerks on steam because I thought it was worth it because of the huge winter sales But when I launch it and create a workspace the following error comes up : Failed to initialize graphics. Please ensure your graphics hardware is compatible and install new graphics drivers. And I found this old post who had the same problem which did not reassure me in the slightest because I haven't had a new computer in 6 years and my parents won't even let me buy my own if I saved up for it. I also did sudo lshw -C video And got the following result : *-display description: VGA compatible controller product: RS780L [Radeon 3000] vendor: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] physical id: 5 bus info: pci@0000:01:05.0 version: 00 width: 32 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi vga_controller bus_master cap_list rom configuration: driver=radeon latency=0 resources: irq:18 memory:d0000000-dfffffff ioport:d000(size=256) memory:feaf0000-feafffff memory:fe900000-fe9fffff I also tried updating openGL which changed a huge amount of nothing Please help, Does this mean the computer is to old for this ?

Admin Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 According to this, the Radeon 3000 series is DX10 level hardware, and Leadwerks requires DX11/OpenGL 4 level hardware: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radeon_HD_3000_Series 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroCrafter Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 Ok, Is there a solution to this problem or do I have to get a new computer ? Well I'm guessing not an entirely new computer but still... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Just the GPU needs to be replaced. Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
