Yanke53: The AMD gfx is not selected if Open GL is needed. It defaults to the Intel card which runs Open GL 3.0 only. My system doesn't allow the AMD card to run it because all Open GL apps have to be run off the Intel card.

My AMD drivers are up to date.
Ah, sounds similar to Nvidia Optimus. If AMD have done a decent job with the driver config program you should be able to force specific programs to always run on the AMD card. No guarantee that the option will be there, but it should be there if they've done their job. I'm kind of used to a lot of games defaulting to the Intel card on my laptop so whenever I install a new game I got into the habit of immediately adding a profile for it in the driver config and specifying my Nvidia card.

Good luck!

shmerl: Sounds like you need to update your AMD driver.

I had one of those laptop before and they almost all support forced graphic card selection.

With open drivers you can use PRIME feature to direct the application to specific GPU. See here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PRIME
May be something similar is available for closed ones as well.

I've did it. At least it worked for me. Go to AMD folder/AMD_Catalyst_13.4_Legacy_Beta_Vista_Win7_Win8/Bin64/InstallManagerApp
After that I've went to amd catalyst manager gaming 3d application settings and enabled adaptive anti-aliasing to quality and enabled triple buffering too. I don't know if this is optional or not but it worked for me. Try it

I am on my desktop with a Radeon HD4870 (openGL 3.3 capable and updated video drivers) and anyway I have this problem.
I hope they will resolve this error :/

You can try the Software OpenGL renderer

The original version of the game should work just fine.
