Unable to play 1.17 on Windows

  1. Do you still have what's now your old computer? Someone made a Fabric mod that supposedly lowers the restriction on the OpenGL version, but I'm kind of skeptical of its ability, and I can't test it myself. :p
    If you'd like to test it, you can download it here.

  2. I do have it but not hooked up to anything at the moment. Whenever I finally get around to transferring the remaining files and cleaning it up I might give it try. I'm getting ready to start my externship for school on top of working full time so I don't anticipate having much time to play for the next couple months.

  3. Bumperoo. It works on my computer. Gldown was a resounding success after 1.17 and my PC didn't play nice. It's Intel HD Graphics 2000.

    Once again, just had to come back here and report my findings. I'm so happy it worked.
  4. Are you by chance still able to contact said person who made gldown? I just switched my Fabric launcher to 1.18 and now gldown doesn't want to work. Any help would be appreciated :)
  5. This version should work :)

  7. Hey there Wafflecoffee :) If you find the time, do you think you could manage another round of gldown for us? 1.19 doesn't seem to work

    Thank you for your hard work to keep us able to play the game!
