OpenGL 4.1

Post by costa »

Hi is there any way to use OpenGL 4.1 instead of 2.1?

VM 6.0

Thank you in advance

Not in a VirtualBox VM, no.

In some cases even getting OpenGL 2.1 is tricky, e.g. it isn't possible on Win8.x or Win10 guests. To get it in XP through Win7 you have to install the GAs in safe mode, Direct3D drivers only (not WDDM).

Thank you very much. Any idea when and if this will be supported in the future?

No idea. This is a user to user forum. I'm not a dev, so I have the same info you do.
