Wrong OpenGL Version?
I ust downloaded the game and wanted to start it but it shows me an error message with:

Unable to create OpenGL window
This program requieres a graphic card and video drivers which support OpenGl 2.1 or OpenGL ES2.
Detected OpenGL version:
1.1.0 - GDI Generic

But I checked my Intel Control, and i have OpenGl 4.3
Any advice? I did everything from updating windows, my graphic card driver, my intel core driver etc....

Can confirm this happens on one of my laptop with an integrated and dedicated GPU (dedicated is GeForce GTX 1650 Ti w/ Max-Q). Still happens after:
  • Setting Balatro to use the dedicated GPU for OpenGL rendering
  • Setting Balatro to use the dedicated GPU in general
  • Changing default global GPU to use dedicated
  • Disabling iGPU entirely

    The laptop has played other intensive games, so I highly doubt that the issue is having the correct OpenGL version but in how it's detected
update gpu and if that doesnt fix try this:
enable gpu scaling + turn off HDCP support on your monitor. I removed the hdmi cable to my 2nd monitor and that fixed too. after changing those settings it fixed itself.

if you have multiple monitors you will get this error when you start the game. if you set your pc to use a single monitor it will work, you can do this by pressing windowskey + P and selecting PC screen only instead of extend.
