FracTool - for power users only

[AlGrenadine]

I was using version 2.55 on Windows 8.1 x64 and it worked fine, but when I updated to the latest version it won't start.
Any idea what I may be doing wrong?

It now needs opengl drivers, install your graphics card latest drivers

My video drivers are up to date (ATI Radeon 4250) . Is there a way I can use the older version and stop it from updating?

No, check if your antivirus doesn't block it maybe

Someone else experiencing problems on windows?

I've checked farther and it seems the opengl supported by this gfx card is too old...
FracTool now needs a working openGL 2.1 driver

I use FracTool under wine and gives me the same error, is there a location where we can download older versions ?

No, i guess wine doesn't support opengl calls... i'll remove opengl in future version

If I am not mistaken I am running wine 3.8 and FracTool 2.72 starts without issues.

Edit: Some more info

OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed 64bit
Graphics card: Radeon HD7750
OpenGL: 3.0 Mesa 18.0.3 (according to the result of glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version")
wine: 3.8 (just checked)

So it's definitely a gfx driver problem, not handling opengl...

I'm running Debian buster with wine 3.0 and just gives the exception. I have the proper nvidia drivers for debian. I'm not asking to make changes and its great to know it works on 3.8 but could we access an older version just temporarily ?
Thank you

No, i'll revert the changes tomorrow

Don't want to derail the thread too much, but what exception do you get?

Edit: According to AlGrenadines previous post this might have become obsolete

Works with wine 3.6, OpenGL: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 390.48

It does - it has for a while now.

Yes but few users don't have opengl 2.1+ drivers...

Just found this, awesome tool, cheers!

 

[AlGrenadine]

FracTool 2.73 is available for Windows only, it should fix the opengl compatibility issues some had
Please let me know if it works better

Hi Alex, can I roll back to previous working version 2.68? It's crashing on me. Are previous versions available? Can't locate in your archives. I don't need any of the new features, personally. Thanks.
