Gl 2.0 Renderer
Open GL not supportedOpen GL is basically 3D-rendering software. In other words, it's a way todraw 3D objects (and more, actually) on a computer screen.
Gl 2.0 Renderer
It's basicallysoftware that makes that easier for programs.It's a standard interface that programs can write to - that (if it'ssupported) can make writing objects, video objects, display objects on thescreen much easier.You'll find it's used very heavily in computer gaming.Now, I'm surprised actually that Angry Birds requires it - but I guess Ishouldn't be too surprised because it is a fairly graphics intensive game. Getting Open GLSo the question is: you don't have it, where do you get it? Well, that's abit of a problem. Most of the time, Open GL (along with its more or lessequivalent, Direct X) is installed as part of your video card's drivers.
Itactually usually comes with the video card itself.So, the only thing that I can suggest you do is identify the video hardwarethat's on your system and see if there are updated drivers for that video cardthat include Open GL support. If they don't, then I'm actually not aware of away to make this work for you.

They may have a troubleshooting option that will tell you exactly what your issue is.
DaGeek247November 23, 2012 3:56 PMIf your graphics card does not support opengl, you might consider getting a different one. Not really better or expensive, just different. Switching a graphics card is a little bit of a hassle if you don't know what you are doing, so if you really need help with it, ask your local computer-savvy friend.If you switch to a different graphics card that supports opengl, this would fix the problem. I know Leo said that he didn't know where to go from there, but desktop computers are really easy to mix and match parts with.If you don't have one laying around, you can go online and search for an opengl compatible card then get it there. (newegg is my absolute favorite, they have the best customer service available).Comments on this entry are closed.If you have a question, start by using the search box up at thetop of the page - there's a very good chance thatyour question has already been answered on Ask Leo!If you don't find your answer, head out toto ask your question.

Moving to Vulkan (and ES 2.0) instead of OpenGL ES 3.0By: Juan LinietskyFeb 26, 2018Edit: Changed post title for clarity (previously Abandoning OpenGL ES 3.0 for Vulkan (and ES 2.0)). We are not abandoning the current OpenGL ES 3.0 backend right now: as outlined in the post, we will start working on a Vulkan backend, which will eventually coexist with the OpenGL ES 2.0 and 3.0 backends - and eventually we might deprecate the OpenGL ES 3.0 backend if Vulkan cuts it.The rationale behind OpenGL ES 3.0The rationale for the OpenGL ES 3 renderer was having a single codebase for targeting all platforms:. Desktop Linux, Windows, macOS. Android, iOS. WebGL 2.0This sounds really good in theory and we could say it almost works. Single codebase for everything is like a dream come true for writing an engine.
OpenGL ES 3 provided sufficient functionality to implement most modern rendering features and have something that looks really good (as you can see in all the images and videos we posted).Yet, in reality, many things did not go as expected. Poor mobile supportOpenGL ES 3.0 works, nowadays, in all versions of iOS. On Android, it is supported in in the market.
Still, there seems to be a large chunk of them (36% at the time of this writing) that only support OpenGL ES 2.0. This segment is not decreasing fast enough and it seems it will be many years until all devices are fully 3.0 compliant.Added to that is the terrible driver support for OpenGL ES 3.0 on Android. Most drivers are outright full of bugs, which translates directly to crashes that don't make any sense. Save for Tegra, all other platforms (Adreno, Mali and PowerVR) are buggy and this prevented implementing many potential optimizations for the sake of stability.This led us to the conclusion that we will need to ship an OpenGL ES 2.0 driver that works in the same way as Godot 2.x (though, including PBR support) in order to achieve maximum compatibility.This means we have lost a third of the reasons to use OpenGL ES 3.0.
Fortunately, Godot 3.1 will come with a new OpenGL ES 2.0 backend that will make Godot work great on mobile again. Poor WebGL 2.0 adoption and performanceWhile WebGL 2 works on Firefox and Chrome (and even runs great on Android mobile), it on the other platforms.Added to that, Godot 3.0 uses quite complex shaders which, while they work fine on WebGL 2, take a long time to compile on Windows due to the Angle GLSL validation and compilation to HLSL.It seems that for nicer performance and compatibility, we will be forced to use WebGL 1.0 for the time being (based on the upcoming OpenGL ES 2.0 backend). Corner cases on NVidia and AMDWhile the Godot 3.0 renderer works great for the most part on NVidia and AMD, there are some corner cases (which are pretty difficult to come by) where the OpenGL 3.3 drivers are not optimized as we would like.These cases are easy to workaround if they ever happen, as they have been the same sort of limitations OpenGL always had (state validation before drawing can take some time).Still many new users may not be aware of this and do things in less efficient ways, yet expect them to work. As they do in engines that use Direct3D 12. Again, this is easy to workaround using batching or instancing and does not happen often, but it's one more step.
Performance on Intel GPUsIntel GPUs on Windows and macOS have pretty unoptimized OpenGL drivers. The same hardware running Linux has considerably better performance. While the performance hit is not really that bad (you can't expect much from this type of hardware), it's enough that compared to other engines (which may use Direct3D and Metal) Godot may seem a bit slower (e.g. 45 FPS where you would expect 60 if you have an Intel HD 5000). Vulkan as an alternativeWhile none of the problems on the desktop side are serious (users have so far mostly reported performance problems on old Intel IGPs, or extreme corner cases), Vulkan was always a tempting alternative to solve them and to ensure we are much safer from driver bugs (after all, this is what the API was intended for).
Still, the lack of support on macOS made it unappealing. Having to write a Metal backend to support this OS is a lot of effort for a platform not used very much.Khronos announced many months ago the, which we found really interesting but was far from being functional. As we mentioned many times in online discussions, moving to it eventually would be ideal. MoltenVK goes open sourceHowever, today, in a completely unexpected turn of events, it seems Valve has found an arrangement with the developers of MoltenVK (the commercial and proprietary Vulkan over Metal wrapper), ported Dota 2 to it, and.It seems to be a mostly complete Vulkan implementation that runs on macOS and iOS. This pretty much lifts the only barrier we had for moving Godot to it.
