Help with OpenGL Video Driver on VM


Combatchuck

Recommended Posts

Stood up a Win 11 23H2 VM on my server and am able to see my panels, but getting the error about OpenGL Driver needing to be 1.5 or higher.

I do this every year, and can't for the life of me remember the fix this time. Was it something stupid like it needs to be on Windows 10? Anyone else running a similar set-up?

I see the same forum posts every year where people say it doesn't work on a VM, but I know it does because I'm an idiot and rebuild this vm every year.

If you are trying to do this on the computer that will ONLY be used as a show player, you can ignore it.  The OpenGL issue only applies to Sequencer.  Although I have a dedicated show computer for Halloween and Christmas, for the rest of the year, my landscaping show runs on my file server.  It is not capable of being updated to a new enough OpenGL unless I add a dedicated video card (not worth any effort.  I never sequence on that computer anyway so it's not a problem - but it always give me the warning message.

Thank you, that was it.  
Last year was just an old R710 with just an onboard video card so I knew I didn't update the drivers. I moved to a newer server and was going to present a video card to it if I couldn't figure it out.

That's exactly what my server is - an R710.  Chugging along really well.  Replaced some SSDs in it in 2021, but just keeps going.
