Another thing you can try is going to System > Display > Graphics in Windows, add City of Heroes to the list and select High Performance. It *should* list your Nvidia card when you click Options.

  • IF TRIED ALL THE SUGGESTIONS, AND STILL NOT FIXED....
  • UNPLUG ALL DISPLAYS BUT YOUR "MAIN" AND TRY THOSE SUGGESTIONS AGAIN.

IF STILL NOT FIXED....

  • GPU-Z (FROM WHATEVER LINK YOU FEEL SAFE DOWNLOADING FROM IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO USE MINE....(IT IS THE STANDARD)....
  • RUN GPU-Z
    • IF THE OPENGL BOX IS NOT CHECKMARKED IN THE LOWER RIGHT HAND CORNER AREA....
    • IT MEANS THAT YOUR OPENGL DRIVER ON YOUR AMD  IS NOT ENABLED.
    • THIS IS BAD.  AND IS YOUR ISSUE BECAUSE THE AMD DRIVER ENABLES THE OPENGL FOR YOUR INVIDIA CARD.
    • THIS CAN BE DUE TO EITHER/OR:
      • NOT RECOGNIZED
      • NOT INSTALLED
      • NOT INSTALLED CORRECTLY
      • CORRUPTED
    • let us know or not, just trying to help.

He disabled the AMD chip, which is why it's running the basic Microsoft driver with no OpenGL support.

I suggested he enable it and install the correct drivers but he either missed it or ignored it.

  • SEEN THAT POST EARLY ON... THINK YOU NAILED IT.  KUDOS.
  • IF NOT THE LENOVO SPECIFIC AMD DRIVER IS BORKED SOMEHOW.

I've done those things as well, everything short of rebooting and going into the bios to check those setting as you suggested, still same error message.

I have just place City of Heroes in the windows Custom Option for apps window and am going to reboot now, then I'll try the Homecoming start up again. Here goes!

For a minute the Loading.. splash screen hovered there and I thought " HOLY SHIT! THIS IS GOING TO WORK!" Then the error screen appeared again. I'll try the reboot and go into my bios and see if there is anything in those setting that might be doing it. Or I'll try putting everything back on the motherboard graphic driver(AMD onboard graphics) and try that with the City of Heroes app in my gaming setting for Windows. Its getting there guys thanks for your support and help with this problem. I really want this to work...

Ok, I've downloaded GPU-Z and will run it looking for the AMD setting you were talking about for enabling OpenGL for the Nvidia card. I'll repost when that has been finished.

I don't know what to tell ya, short of going into the bios or going to Windows and manually looking for this Windows Basic Display Driver, I've done EVERYTHING and am still getting the error message.

Ok, I just went into the bios and I noticed that the bios was set on Dynamic Graphics(onboard graphics), so I reset it to Discrete Graphics Device(Nvidia card). Now the GPU-Z said the OpenGL is loaded for the discrete card so this should work. Here goes!

  • GPU-Z SHOWS OPENGL DRIVER AS VERSION 1.1
  • THE NEWEST OPENGL DRIVER AROUND IS 4.6 OR 4.8, BUT I DO NOT KNOW WHICH DRIVER THE OEM LENOVO AMD CHIP DRIVER USES.
  • THINK ITS DEFAULTING TO THE GENERIC MICROSOFT DRIVER (OPENGL 1.1) WHICH IS MOST LIKELY WHAT GPU-Z IS SHOWING, AND YOUR LENOVO LAPTOP PROLLY  NEEDS THE OEM DRIVER.

That was the trick Manga, the setting was on Dynamic(onboard graphics) while in conflict with the Nvidia settings. Now it all set, thank you for your guidance! I have been playing the game all night. Come look for Psi Nami sometime in-game and we'll do missions together or invite me to your supergroup!

That was it EXACTLY! The bios was set on the motherboard(onboard) graphics engine(AMD) and the software was set to the Nvidia graphics proprietary card. I reset the bios. Great going Manga, Ive been playing the game for a month now! Thank you!

I've passed your thanks on to Manga. I'm so glad you are sorted, and it's something I've not come across before so I'll keep it in mind moving forward
