OpenGL 3.3 Error
Good Evening,

My copy of Battle Brothers has just become unplayable. On opening the game I get a white screen and the following error:

"Failed to create OpenGL Context 3.3"

I've emailed to you my BB Log file and my DxDiag.

I've been playing the game for months without any issue and have 46 hours logged so far...so I am quite certain my PC should be able to handle it. I have updated my video card drivers as stated in the message to no avail.
A developer of this app has marked a post as the answer to the topic above.

Appears to be working now. Panic over! Great game btw Dev's.

Further to this it was actually Bitdefender.... The OpenGL error was actually a bit of a red herring.

Bitdefender (more specifically the 'Safe Files' function) had prevented BattleBrothers.exe accessing My Documents where obviously some of the settings etc are saved to. Found BattleBrothers.exe lurking in the Blocked Apps section - allowed it and hey presto, working again.

Hope that helps anyone having a similar issue.

I have the same problem, but i dont have Bitdefender, what kind of program can do the same thing?
