OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - OpenGL? Whatever it is it's crashing the game and has prevented me from watching the games in 3D

This may not work for everybody for reasons I'll explain, but it worked in my situation.

I play the game with my laptop using an external monitor. The NVIDIA driver does not control the external monitor so I'm seeing the OpenGL error when I attempt to open the 3D ballparks. If I open the game just using the notebook display, it's fine because that is controlled by the NVIDIA driver.

Solution: I open a ballpark in 3D view just using my laptop, then switch on my external monitor and am able to see the 3D parks without an error. This would only be a solution if you're using an external display instead of your laptop.

(I used to be able to see the 3D parks on my external monitor before the last NVIDIA update without having to use these steps.)
