ps: pls dont hack my pc cuz i gave u info

[boa13]

Don't worry, I cannot hack your computer with the information you gave me.

Unfortunately, it seems you are using an Intel chip, which have notoriously flaky driver support (especially with 3D). Your OpenGL information shows you have version 1.4 support in your driver. FTL requires at least version 2.0.

Besides, your computer appears to be quite old. The 915GM/GMS/910GML graphic chips, and the associated ICH6-M chipset, were first published in January 2005, more than 8 years ago.

I regret to inform you that it is unlikely that FTL will work on this computer.

Did you buy the game from this website?

Thanks, well, I´m currently on a Dell Latitude D610 so I can expect stuff to not work, especially a lot of openGL stuff.
I´m going to buy a new one soon, though. Looking at the Lenovo G780 M84ADUK atm, I guess that will have an okay openGL version

Steam!

With a dedicated NVIDIA card, it should work fine.

I see that the laptop only has 1366x768 pixels, this is a bit low nowadays, but thankfully it is enough for FTL. FTL requires at least 1280x720.
