Spring version that only requires OpenGl 2.1

Post by qwerty15 »

Sorry if this is in the wrong place
I am trying to find a version of Spring that supports (at most) OpenGL 2.1
Would it be possible to obtain a Linux binary or the source code of such a version (along with the time it was released), if it exists.

Details
When executing spring from both the binary and source I get the error:

Code: Select all

[GR::CreateGLContext] error ("Could not create GL context: GLXBadFBConfig") creating main GL4.1 context
running glxinfo | grep "OpenGL" gives me this

Code: Select all

OpenGL vendor string: Intel Open Source Technology Center
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) HD Graphics (ILK)
OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 21.2.6
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20
OpenGL extensions:
OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 2.0 Mesa 21.2.6
OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 1.0.16
OpenGL ES profile extensions:
According to https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=212792 my graphics card (Intel i5) can only support up to version 2.1

Thanks

I believe Version 103.0 is the last that will run on OpenGL 2.1 (for that exact reason, it's currently the last version with an [unofficial] MacOS build)

Try joining the official server and see if you can launch any of the games there (105), it will autodownload everything for you. No games use 106 yet and you will be able to tell what works for you easily.

also try 104 https://springrts.com/dl/buildbot/default/master/104.0/
which is almost identical to 105 but with more backwards compat

if none of those then 103 is here https://springrts.com/dl/buildbot/default/master/103.0/
