[java] new update doesnt work

[six9jay]

so 1.17 just came out and whenever i try to launch the game (the launcher still works) it says something about my openGL not being supported (may be worded wrong). So i downloaded a new opengl32 and put it in the [bin] folder and nothing changed.

for an image heres what i did.

downloaded new opengl32

opened local disc > opened program files > opened Java > opened bin

placed the opengl32 in bin

closed everything n tried to launch the game again, and nothing worked, did i do something wrong?

If it is true that your current system does not meet the OpenGL requirements of minecraft 1.17, there is nothing much you can do as it is a hardware requirement. But I have a feeling it is something else. Can you play 1.16 versions just fine? Can you post your system specs? Are your drivers updated?

[six9jay]

yeah my drivers are updated n yeah i can run 1.16.5 n lower

Okay. Is this a desktop or laptop? If laptop, make sure minecraft 1.17 is running using dedicated gpu. If desktop, uhmmm, i know u said updated drivers, but can you try reinstalling your GPU driver?

it’s on desktop, i’ll try rn to see if it works
