Running with Mesa driver instead of native Intel

[ghost]

I have Intel Integrated Graphics with the native Intel driver installed, but I want to try the Mesa driver. You said Intel's implementation of OpenGL is poor quality. I placed opengl32.dll and other DLLs alongside ecode.exe, but it crashed immediately on launch without writing to the log or generating a stack trace. Uninstall the native Intel driver then it runs just fine.

That's a very bad idea, you'll be software rendering the application and it will be many times slower than with hardware acceleration, makes no sense honestly, if you're not having any driver issues do not change anything.
But, to run with mesa + llvmpipe you need to install mesa-dist-win, follow the instructions there.

I just want to try the OpenGL 3 backend. My hardware is very fast, so you won’t notice any significant differences with the Mesa driver, only the colors in dark mode are slightly inaccurate. I know uninstalling the native Intel driver is not ideal, but I only did it to confirm that there was a conflict between the drivers. I restored the system to its optimal state afterward, btw.
