Hello, as you might think with titlle I can't seem to launch Starsector at all.
I've been on it for a couples of hours so i can kind of understand whats happening.
Problem is, it doesn't matter what i tried it doesn't seem to work.
All of my drivers are up to date but it doesn't change anything.
I'm on a Intel with window 8 x64 (laptop).

Here's the part of log file that have an error, but you'll pretty much get the same thing as what the others that have encountered this issue on the forum.

Hope you can help me with that, the games seems to be incredible.
Thanks!

Does your laptop have dedicated GPU?

[Shneiden]

Nope its an integrated one.

Yeah, i read somewhere that Intel is kind of a mess with dedicated GPU and that you have to install specific driver for each of the graphic cards or something like that. I hoped it would be something like that for me but unfortunately its not from what i know.

[Alex]

Hmm. It does work on Intel cards in general, though, so it might be a case of tweaking your graphics settings somehow - does Intel have something equivalent to Nvidia's control panel or AMD's CCC?

It does sound like a "very old graphics driver" issue, though, at least, any other time I remember seeing that, that's what it was. Argh. I wonder if it's just a question of only a certain set of drivers being available for your laptop, and those just not being up to snuff.

I'm sorry about the trouble, in any case!

[Shneiden]

Yes there's an equivalent but its really not as great and detailed.

Hmmm, it may be the case. My laptop is not for gaming at all but it can handle "basic" game that does not require fancy setting. I generaly never struggle to run indi game at all. I bought it back in 2015 tho so maybe its getting old.

PS : Don't worry, i'll figure something out.

[outdated]

It's not that old. I'd try cleanly uninstalling GPU drivers and then installing the latest ones available.

[Shneiden]

I don't think its the driver.

Intel pretty much have an assistance tool that does the cheking of all of your drivers on the spot and manage all of the updates.
All of my driver are up to dates, unfortunatly. As soon as i saw that the other anwser gravitated around a drivers problem, i checked mine to see if it was the same for me.

Edit : Just to be sure, i'll re-do it.

One of the Google search results for "OpenGLException 1280" was this, if you haven't tried it already:

You have an advanced option set for your graphics adapter (probably Intel). Go to its control panel and disable anything that mentions "enhance," as well as set any other options to "let the application decide."

[xenoargh]

Yeah, Intel has a long (and sordid) history of not properly supporting OpenGL applications out of the box.

org.lwjgl.opengl.WindowsContextImplementation.setSwapInterval() is, essentially, trying to set the time, in milliseconds, for the buffers to swap, according to LWJGL's documentation. 

If the video drivers don't support buffer-swapping in OpenGL, then there are serious problems.  Sounds like it's a super-weak Intel integrated GPU and Intel's drivers don't support OpenGL properly.

[Shneiden]

OMG!

It worked! YESSSSSS!
I pretty much tweaked all of the option that enhance the quality and made it prioritize performance over anything. It finally launched!
Thanks for the solution! It really helped me out. I was pretty much set on searching a Starsector like to be honest. Sadly, except Wayward Terran that have an interresting gameplay for space battle i didn't find anything that came close to what Starsector is like!

Again, thanks a bunch people! ^^
