Intel graphics is not yet supported because of driver issues, but we are working on resolving them together with the Intel OpenGL team. However, from what we know, only the Ivy Bridge (and newer chipsets) will support the required OpenGL 3.3

I can't find the specs for that model.
Anyway, if it ever worked, it must have been using a discrete graphics card, Nvidia or ATI. For ATI you usually have to select the ATI chip in BIOS, otherwise it will select the Intel graphics.

Well, if you don't know how, you probably didn't do it back then. That would imply you have a Nvidia card there. Do you have a Nvidia control panel there? It would be good if you found the specs of that laptop.

Go there and somewhere in the profiles, tell it to use Nvidia chip for outerra.exe
You should also upgrade the drivers first.

And wasting a developer's time.  Outerra is not for beginners or individuals that are still going up the PC learning curve.  Not sure what to recommend, but I suggest a complete, retail game and not a product that is a long way from being complete.

....and at the risk of piling on, taking the time to write things out properly really helps people help you. Your sentences are confusing due to lack of capitalisation, punctuation and spelling.

Look, dyllenger may lack proper grammar and spelling, but that doesn't degrade him as far as you imply.  What he says determines the value of what he writes a lot more than how he says it.

I simply sense a youthful approach, one that suggests a need for more experience.  That is part content, part communications style.  While our development team also must support the product, there are limits to reasonable hand holding.  For my own part, perhaps I was a bit more direct than I needed to be.  The upshot, of course, is that Outerra is so attractive that it is going to ask people to challenge themselves and become involved, even if their hardware isn't up to the job.  Excellence can be a two-edged sword that way. 

Dyllenger....don't give up.  Gain that experience, learn about video cards and PC's and Outerra too if it calls you that strongly.  But remember too that it's one thing to support the application, and another to become a teacher.  The Outerra team is small....their task is enormous.  It's the whole planet they're building, ya know!  ;)
