If you experience any trouble related to graphics the first step is to install up to date graphics cards. You can find the links to the major vendors' download sites below:

 

Intel

AMD/ATI

Nvidia

For laptops with Intel/ATI switchable graphics, you will need to set an application profile if you want Leadwerks to run on the discrete GPU. You can do this in the ATI Catalyst control center:

It is recommended that you update your graphics drivers for both ATI and Intel.

 

At this time, ATI does not provide any mechanism for the developer to choose the discrete GPU.

 

Linux with Nvidia Optimus:

My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.

I'm installing Leadwerks on my other desktop computer, and I'm getting "Failed to initialize graphics. Your graphics hardware may not be supported."

 

It's a NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT, and I've visited the official website and gotten the newest drivers just now. Any other settings I should change?

 

You know what? I just figured it out. This video card is only capable of supporting OpenGL 3. Greeeeeeeat.

I'm sure I'll have a million questions in my quest to master the Leadwerks Engine. Thank you for your patience.
