Reuben Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Hi I'm new to Leadwerks, saw a few videos and thought it may be fun. I purchased Leadwerks Game Engine 4.5 Professional Edition today and installed on my laptop, created a level and tried to run the level... the level would not run, I then remembered my laptop does not have a graphics card. I installed steam on my pc, logged into my account and installed leadwerks onto my pc, it will not launch The pc meets the minimum requirements yet nothing happens. Any thoughts?

So you have Integrated graphics? Have you installed graphics drivers? How old is this computer?

Reuben Posted November 23, 2018 Author Share Posted November 23, 2018 Hi Josh no gpu, its an hp laptop that I mostly use for work, its about five years old. I installed leadwerks onto my pc as it has a gpu, but it doesn't launch. I had previously installed the leadwerks demo on my pc before and it worked fine, I could never find a place here in South Africa that sold the software and gave up on the idea of ever having Leadwerks until today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Well if OpenGL 4.0 isn't supported there should be a message box saying that your graphics hardware will not work. Otherwise, you probably need to install graphics drivers. Oh yeah, there are also some redistributables that Steam automatically installs. It is possible for those to silently fail, on extremely rare cases. These are located in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Leadwerks\_CommonRedist" Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.

Reuben Posted November 23, 2018 Author Share Posted November 23, 2018 I see I don't have Visual Studio installed, could that be the reason it wont run? I'm installing it now hold thumbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 You don't need to install VS, but there is a redistributable that has to be installed to make VS apps run. It's kind of weird.
