no compatible display - Hardware Issue?
by Zachary Pearson · in Torque 2D Beginner · 02/17/2014 (10:59 am) · 3 replies
I just downloaded the torque 2d binary and attempted to run the application it included, but it gives me an error saying that it "Could not find a compatible display device". I searched around for a while and found it might have to do with driver/harder incompatibility, but nothing I found had said that explicitly. Could anyone verify this?
I have an older (and fairly shitty) graphics card: mobile intel 45 express chipset family. I suspect this is the issue, but would just like verification.
Thanks!

Windows 7. The log showed that there was an issue with OpenGL, found out I needed to update my graphics driver. Its working now. Thanks! I'll remember to check the console.log whenever I run into issues!

Lucky - many mobile chipsets just don't work with Torque.

In your Torque2D folder, where you can find Torque2D.exe, you should also find a file called console.log. This file will tell you what went wrong, just scroll to the last lines in the file to get a description.
