Train Fever OpenGL Fail
I too am having major problem with "Train Fever" game and trying to get support from Steam Support is like hitting you head against a brick wall
1.The purchased game "Train Fever" will not load a give a ""OpenGL context creation failed" error at ever attempt and the info box states "Please try installing the latest drivers for your graphics card (ogl_loadFunction failed)"
1, Steam Support does not recognise Train Fever as a game and so will not allow questions.
2. Steam Support does not provide any other direct means of contact (email address etc) so posing the question is impossible via the Steam Support site
3. All my drivers are up to date as verified by both Windows and Intel HD graphics websites.
4. If there is a patch where is it.
5. I have verified the game several times to no effect
6. My system specs are;

Try to download the latest graphics card driver from:
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/
and try to run it. If you cant find any new drivers or it does not go higher than openGL 3.2 the odds are low to get it running on this laptop.

if what mikeal posted doesnt work, your game wont work your problem is "OpenGL Version: 2.1", you need at least 3.3 or 3.2 for this game. in short your card is to outdated for this game and needs to be updated

also there must be some bug in the program you used, or your os is fake you appently installed win7 in the 1970's :)

You're aware of the age of this integrated Intel HD Graphics? It's nearly useless in any game. It's nothing like a Intel HD 2x00, HD 3x00, HD 4x00 or HD 5x00 iGPU.
It's way to weak for this game.

Btw., afaik is just OpenGL 2.1 supported by Intel HD Graphics of your cpu.

Product Detected Intel® HD Graphics 3000
Current Driver Installed 8.15.10.2345
A customized computer manufacturer driver is installed on your computer. The Intel Driver Update Utility is not able to update the driver. Installing a generic Intel driver instead of the customized computer manufacturer driver may cause technical issues. Contact your computer manufacturer for the latest driver for your computer. that's what it said for mine, i'm screwed

I have intel HD graphics 3000 and it won't run on my system too (open GL failure).

It did not list open GL 3.2 as a minimum requirement yet it seems that this is the case? Mine supports 3.1

Interesting, but you're right. The 2nd Gen of Intel HD Graphics just supports OpenGL 3.1.

1st Gen (Intel HD Graphics): OpenGL 2.1
2nd Gen (Intel HD Graphics 2000, 3000): OpenGL 3.1
3rd Gen (Intel HD Graphics 2500, 4000): OpenGL 4
4th Gen (Intel HD Graphics 4200, 4400, 4600, 5000, Intel Iris 5100, 5200): OpenGL 4

Source: http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/cs-033757.htm

The developers mentioned, that Train-Fever requires (at least in it's current state) OpenGL 3.2: http://www.train-fever.com/forums/topic/most-common-issues/

If they're using geometryshader as new OpenGL feature, OpenGL 3.1 wouldn't be enough - because this was implemented with OpenGL 3.2: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenGL_Shading_Language
