Crash With Win 8: Pixel Format Not Accelerated

[Acheronia 18]

Upgraded from XP to 8 last night. Tried playing Wurm this morning with the following crash:

Let me know if anyone needs any more information.

Could not create display with selected width and height. The error was: <Pixel format not accelerated>

It's possible you might figure out what's wrong from the log file below, but if you can't, post the full log on the wurm online forums, and someone else might be able to help you.

im no expert but that sounds to me like u didnt install any video drivers

[whereami 564]

Usually after reinstalling your OS, you will need to reinstall your graphics drivers and make sure they are up to date, as well as OpenAL and other java libraries Wurm relies on prior to playing. As Tpikol said, I believe therein lies the problem.

[axeblade346 164]

I had the same issue with Java and Windows 8 included Nvidia Drivers. Updated the drivers and it works.

[Acheronia 18]

That did the trick. Thank you all!
