How to Fix OpenGL Error in Android Emulator

If you meet the OpenGL Error, 1.1.0 OpenGL/unshown OpenGL in diagnostics information or OpenGL ES 3.1 pop-up window, you will not be able to play games in LDPlayer. Or you may meet these problems: crash, flickering screen, or crash when enabling VT. To fix the OpenGL error, you need to update or reinstall your graphic driver.

Update Graphic Driver

If you meet the following situations, you need to update your Graphics driver:

1. OpenGL Error

Error window where inform you: Sorry, the version of OpenGL is too low, please upgrade the graphics driver!

2. OpenGL ES 3.1 pop-up window

• Graphic driver OpenGL version should be 4.3.0 at least for OpenGL ES 3.0 games.
• Graphic driver OpenGL version should be 4.5.0 at least for OpenGL ES 3.1 games.

So if your graphic driver is lower than this, you are unable to run some of the games on your device. You can check your OpenGL information by clicking the menu > Diagnostics information.
