Minecraft bad video card drivers
I bought my cousin minecraft all was well until we loaded it it turned black after a while it said bad video card drivers, I have gotten this before on another computer here is what it says
Bad video card drivers!
-----------------------

Minecraft was unable to start because it failed to find an accelerated OpenGL mode.
This can usually be fixed by updating the video card drivers.

Re: Minecraft bad video card drivers
The panda is correct.

Also... your card does not support openGL?

Either update drivers or failing that, you'll need to get a card that wasn't made in 1872. :/

 Quoting: AtsuiPanda

Well it's because they use java and it's a poorly coded piece of shit that causes the spec issue. I heard it's littered with dead code and redundancy code which doesn't surprise me considering how stupid Notch actually was when he made it. Instead of learning something useful like C++ he decided to go with Java because it was easier.

Re: Minecraft bad video card drivers
I have the latest Java.

It could be a windows 8.1 issue, since it no longer supports certain older Open GL features.

Ive already tried replacing the Open GL file in System 32, tried new and older video drivers.

Tried opening Minecraft with a bat file. Or in compatibility mode.

This is seriously aggravating me, now I'm not the nerdiest guy on GLP which is why I'm frustrated.

I'm going to try this on windows 7. Maybe an older Java would work.

Update video drivers and then remove mine craft completely. Reinstall and then try.

Depending on your card I would advise an upgrade....if you run mods like optifine on high view distances and shader packs I wouldn't go below a 290x or gtx 770.

He should be fine.
I'm thinking it's more of a software issue. Integrated graphics are more than capable of running minecraft.

I can play battlefield 4 I'm running a ATI HD 4600 1gb.

It's defiantly a software issue I'm just not sure what's causing the issue. I will try on windows 7 tonight.

Apparently this issue is very common. No idea why.

I get the exact same report as OP. I could try a few more things... like change the resolution of my display etc.

Re: Minecraft bad video card drivers
Maybe that's part of the issue. My ATI card.

Nividia cards are better optimized for Open GL. But this day and age it shouldn't matter. It just seems like this game should have been tested more before being released.

Re: Minecraft bad video card drivers
Oh man I fixed minecraft. I don't even know... but it works.

I installed it on a fresh windows 7 and it started.

It still wasn't working on my windows 8, so I uninstalled my ATI drivers and installed very old ones, then I would uninstall those drivers and install a slightly newer drivers and then uninstall those etc etc

Until I had the latest drivers installed.

Then I put it in windows 7 compatibility mode.

Now it starts.

What a Craptacular pos lol

There are a LOT of ongoing issues with minecraft currently most of them are JAVA related with Java 1.8. There is a fix that you can find for it. Also, if you don't have enough RAM don't even bother trying to use a texture pack.

Okay before you can go off and punch any trees.

It may start giving you graphical errors like everything appearing a solid texture or seeing through the map.

Go into your ATI Catalyst settings or Nividia Driver settings and set everything to let the application decide.

Then set Minimapping to the highest setting.
