Won't let me play.
When I open it up it says my graphics card is to old... My graphics card can run Fallout 4 but it cant run this? please help. All my drivers are at the highest update and Java has been updated to its latest update

Do you have an Nvidia card? If so, revert to the last driver version. The latest one can't run haven for some dumb reason.

Re: Won't let me play.
In case you have a laptop with some dual graphics solution, it may be that it has auto-selected the integrated GPU for the Haven client, in which case you'd have to use whatever settings utility ships with that solution to set it correctly. On the other hand, I'd think that any integrated GPU new enough to support dual graphics should be capable of running the client, so I'm not sure that's a reasonable explanation.FPS_Vulcan wrote:My graphics card can run Fallout 4 but it cant run this? please help.
It could also be that you're using Windows' built-in drivers for your graphics card, which often support DirectX but not OpenGL. If that's the case, just download the proper drivers from the GPU manufacturer and install those. You'll likely see better DirectX performance that way, too.
You sure about that? That sounds quite weird. Is it the same error message that the OP reports?wafflecat wrote:Do you have an Nvidia card? If so, revert to the last driver version. The latest one can't run haven for some dumb reason.

Re:Re: Won't let me play.
@wafflecat where can I find the requirements, I'm not using Nvidia sadly. It says this - It seems that your video card is too old to support Haven & Hearth, but there may also be a chance that a driver update could fix the problem, so you may want to try that. Specifically: Graphics context does not support programmable shading.

Download GPU-z
https://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/2 ... -z-v1-16-0
run it - post screenshot of first tab so we can determine the graphic chipset (and prolly point you to drivers)

Re: Won't let me play.
When post tech support requests, especially when you get an error such as this, you should ALWAYS post your computer specs. Some sites will want you to get a DirectX report, but that's a ton of unnecessary information.
Odds are loftar already gave the solution, but the specific "how" can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=42&t=50999#p674822.
Nvidia, for some reason, has a tendency to pass OpenGL rendering off to integrated graphics processors, or at least Intel GPUs. Best solution, get into BIOS, disable the integrated GPU, and don't look back. Need to know how to do so? Google "How to disable integrated graphics in my <...>" and insert the brand of computer you have. If you want to keep the Intel GPU enabled (or have one of those odd computers that won't let you disable it), make sure to keep graphics drivers updated.

Re: Won't let me play.
I can confirm that latest nvidia driver (378.49) for all of their latest gpu's at least does not like java/haven. Seems like some graphical bugs appear on some other games as well.
Fix is simply to install the previous driver.

They've had some issues in the last couple of years. Traditionally, they've been really good at stable drivers, and best at OpenGL support.sMartins wrote:Good to know....btw I update drivers maybe twice a yearshubla wrote:I can confirm that latest nvidia driver (378.49)....( and, it's just me or Nvidia drivers are always worse and worse.....damn suckers they only want us to buy new vga)
Add in that ATI has recently had a bit of a leg up on them in performance in DX 12 because of development of the Mantle platform.... (Not to derail the thread any...

Yeah i know...it's why i was asking...recently they sucks, since I bought the GTX 970 I had many troubles with his drivers...stuttering,etc...MagicManICT wrote: Traditionally, they've been really good at stable drivers, and best at OpenGL support.
