I've got this portable Minecraft launcher. It's mine, meaning I made it. I used to distribute it until it started comming up as a virus. I was re-writting it, but I've gotten lazy. I am really close to finishing it--
Ahh sorry. Not the point.
Basically, I plugged my flash drive into a computer at school.
Ok.
I open up Minecraft with my launcher and log in. It loads, then closes.
*Maybe it's my launcher?
I copy the Minecraft.exe onto the desktop and run it locally. The same thing happens.
After running around on the interwebs, I found that THE GRAPHICS CARD WAS ANCIENT.
Intel Radon X6000 or something like that.
A computer graphics class. With a horrible graphics card. '_'
*And yet Halo and GTA run just fine.
Whatever. So I'm scrambling around on the internet trying to find ways. I'm an addict, and I search for about half a year. (Only started comp graphics this year.)
There are viable solutions on there, but they require administrator privileges.
Now, I haven't gotten the chance to test this on the school computer, but I HAVE tried it at home.
It appears to work. Granted, my graphics card at home can support OpenGl, but when I place the dll from the mesa download into the same folder as Minecraft.exe and run it, it seems to run slower.
*However, it is STILL PLAYABLE.
I am very excited and am posting to see if anyone else could try this?
I am very eager to know.
minecraft REQUIRES opengl its a rendering system that it runs off of and therefore can not run unless you have opengl and accelerated graphics support. if you dont have it then you dont have minmecraft. unless youre able to change its rendering system to directx then MAYBE but ive never seen that tried or done before. so , no opengl = no minecraft.
think of directx and opengl as intel and amd. they are two different rendering systems all on their own wether a game is more graphic instensive or not doesnt matter its just how a game runs some run graphics heavy others run cpu heavy some play on directx other opengl. thats why yoiu run into issues like this. its your hardware so unless you update it change it get new stuff it will be broken.
Sure. Once I get the time.
Don't Trust This Retard it DOES NOT WORK I tried it on my HP Pavilion a1350y (my dads old computer my birthday present)
Calm down.
You can't call someone "retard" just because you don't know how to make it work properly.
I've already tried in Safe Mode and works, not fast at all, but works .-.
If you want a tutorial, here we go:
1) Go to the "System32" folder of your PC.
In my case, it is:
C:\WINDOWS\system32
2) Drag out the "opengl32.dll" file, don't delete it, just move it out.
3) Put the mesa's "opengl32.dll" file in the System32 folder.
And that's it .-.
