Can not create OpenGL context. (Error: Invalid window)

[NovusMessari]

On starting up OpenRA release-20151224., I get a crash message. I've looked at the exception log and it seems to be a problem with graphical errors.

Exception Log:
Operating System: Windows (Microsoft Windows NT 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1)
Runtime Version: .NET CLR 4.0.30319.42000
Exception of type System.InvalidOperationException: No suitable renderers were found. Check graphics.log for details.

at OpenRA.Program.Run(String[] args)
at OpenRA.Program.Main(String[] args)

Is this still a problem with the latest playtest?

Please reopen once you have tested the latest release and it still persists.

I had the same issue, setting desktop resolution to 32-bit color depth resolved it.

No activity since a while. I don't think there is much to do here without further leads (at least we know that 32-bit color depth might resolve this issue).

I run into the similar issue on Windows 10, pretty vanilla with nvidia GTX 2080.

This is the exception from graphics.log:

Do you have an internal graphics card? Does it have vendor drivers?

I am not sure. I managed to 'fix' this. I have display scaling turned on to 125%. After I moved back to 100% it worked fine.
