[Workaround] Need help with OpenGL driver
Alright I tried to open the game but got a message saying i need to ins tall at least Open GL 3.2. So i googled open GL and found a GL driver wiki which linked me to the nvisdia site where i downloaded a dirver called GeForce Experience for my card and after it finished installing i tried to open the game again but got the same message. Can someone please tell me where to find this OpenGL driver thing. Any help would be much appreciated.

On steam, go to "help", then "system information" and check if your graphics card is compatible with GL 3.2. If it isnt, sorry but you should have checked first/read the stickies in the forums.
Oh and if you are on a laptop you should make sure you are not using intern graphics.

I did check, and it is compatible. I just dont have it installed and dont know where the hell to get it.

It seems fairly unlikely that you don't have a graphics driver installed. What graphics card is it?
Are you able to run any graphical games at all?

(GeForce Experience by the way is a utility for accessing various NVidia extra features like ShadowPlay; it's not a driver, although you might get it as an optional extra when installing the driver.)

I have GeForce GT 540M, I checked and it works with Open GL 3.2. But the game still wont open, I can run plenty of games Dota, LoL, Dragon Age, Killing Floor, Minecraft, Diablo 3, Starcraft 2. This is the only game that has ever produced this message for me.

If you can play those games then you have a working graphics driver.

It sounds like it's an Optimus system and DD is using your Intel integrated graphics for some reason, rather than the Nvidia device. I guess the integrated graphics is probably an HD 3000? If so, that would fit, as the 3000 apparently only supports OpenGL 3.1.

Unfortunately I've never used one so I don't know how you configure it; your best bet might be to Google for how to force Optimus to use the dedicated graphics.

You likely need to force the Nvidia card on your laptop

Glad you're working now.

Don't tell the Caretaker about the free stuff! He might occupy ALL the strees relief slots otherwise :)
