Can't play OpenRA

[Luo-Chang]

Hi MrFixIt,

Thanks for your amazing work first!

When I compile and run the OpenRA, the GL4ES seems working great and OpenRA successfully detected the OpenGL version 2.0.

But the game just won't start with some initialization failures and told me to check the "Graphics.log".

Can you run OpenRA normally?

I will copy the log file here later.

Thanks in advance!

Here is the running log from Terminal:

I then tried to update the GL4ES version and compile using the following instruction:

mkdir build; cd build; cmake .. -DODROID=1 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo; make

and replaced the libGL.so.1.2.0

The GL4ES worked great vut This time the error information is different:

Sorry for so many posts and thanks in advance!

[Luo-Chang]

It turns out that OpenRA does not support OpenGL 2.x anymore, while the GL4ES we used only provides OpenGL 2.x interfaces.

For anyone who suffered same issue:

Compile the OpenRA release 20200202. This is the last release that supports OpenGL 2.x

Hope someone can work out a solution to provide modern OpenGL support for us.
