Same...

I tried both installing over the previous copy, and also uninstalling then reinstalling.

I've just upgraded my gfx card to a Radeon R9 290x, one of the best gpu's today (not for OpenRA but for other games), but I'm still getting the exact same exception and graphics logs as I posted on the first page... AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGHHHHH!!!!

Yes I uninstalled OpenRA then reinstalled it... I hate this PC...

 

 

Maybe my problem isn't related to my gpu's?

It is driver related. Something must have changed in the OpenGL standard and how the version information is exposed. No one of the developers has such a new and expensive graphics card and we are too slow to adapt our detection at startup. Reinstalling the software won't help. Downgrading your graphics card hardware or activating an integrated one instead may be a workaround, but the error is clearly on our side. I currently don't have the time and expert knowledge to fix this.

fir3w0rx: We've just overhauled our low-level OpenGL integration on our development branch, and it's possible that this has fixed your GL problems.  Is there any chance that you could give this test build a go? https://ci.appveyor.com/api/buildjobs/y2vqr6aic0quiev6/artifacts/OpenRA-.exe

Finally... it works.

 

I decided to try this again (release-20151224) a couple of weeks ago and whatever updates the devs added in this version has made it work on my pc. And I've gotta say - it's frickn awesome.
