"Failed to create GL instance"

[Guest lacoe]

Hey, all.

First time trying to log in, I got an error.. "Failed to create GL instance."

Has this happened to others? Do I need to provide more info?

Thanks in advance!

I believe there should be a console.log/console.<user>.log  (depending on client) file, try locating and pasting that one here.

Switch to JOGL in the "game renderer" option.

Chances are you need to upgrade your graphics drivers and/or card as well.
