    OpenGL minecraft error when trying to start Minecraft

    Hi Rosie, sorry to hear you're having trouble launching Minecraft. I understand how frustrating that type of error message can be.

    It sounds like a possible conflict with your hardware. First, try reinstalling the launcher, and updating your graphics card drivers.

    You can find more information about this error message in this post:

    Also, you can contact Minecraft support directly for additional assistance here:

    I hope this helps you! Let me know if you have any other questions. :)

    Hello,

    First, I highly recommend, if you have not, to contact Mojang Support on this issue, or comment on an existing bug. If you have contacted support, can you please let us know what their response was.

    Could you let me know what version of Minecraft you are using including the version number (ex. 1.18.2, 1.17, etc).

    And for some clarity, here is what i found on Mojang's bug site related to the OpenGL issue:

    The search that I used to find these bugs: OpenGL Issue. The list is on the left hand side.

    Thank you,

    None of the methods…?

    What’s your graphics card? I didn’t see the model in the picture.
