I was trying to play it with my old laptop as my new one has quit working.
My laptop spec is as following:
Core2Duo P7350@ 2.00Ghz
2.00Gb ram
32-bit windows 7 OS
Geforce 9600M GT 512Mb
When I tried to start he game, it told me that there is exception in LWJGL initialization and could not even load the launcher then I changed the config to use legacy launcher, the launcher did show up but still unable to get into the game due to the same error.
And here is the log:

So what is the game's actual requirement? Open Gl version etc...

[Dark.Revenant]

OpenGL 1.1, largely.  The 9600M supports OpenGL 3.3.  Most likely, the problem is because of nonexistent, improper, or badly outdated drivers.

This error also pops up when your desktop is set to 16-bit color depth, rather than 32-bit. Might be worth checking.
