EDIT : Sorry, I was so frustrated I did not finish my question. The problem I am having is that my system is stuck on OpenGl 2.1. and Dota2 needs 3.1. I was wondering if there is a workaround for that.

FINAL EDIT : Thank you for the response. I will have to upgrade the system. But I got to learn some other things about upgrading drivers and stuff. Thanks

  • What is DOTA 2 ? – Panther Dec 31 '17 at 16:59
  • @Rinzwind. Sorry, made an edit to question. I am stuck on OpenGL2.1, whereas Dota2 needs 3.1. I read somewhere there is a workaround this, but cant seem to figure that out. I know I can get a better system and hardware. I just want to see if I can run the game on this system. – Ash Shinde Dec 31 '17 at 17:17
  • OpenGL: https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers support for 4.5 is in there. – Rinzwind Dec 31 '17 at 17:19
  • Voting to Leave Open as @Rinzwind comment answers OP question which has been made more clear. – WinEunuuchs2Unix Dec 31 '17 at 17:33
  • Thanks @Rinzwind. I have done all that. For some reason, it still is on Driver Version: 2.1 Mesa 17.4.0-devel OpenGL Version: 2.1 So, I think I have hit a hardware brick wall. – Ash Shinde Dec 31 '17 at 17:48

    According to Wikipedia, Intel's Ironlake HD graphics from 2010 only has OpenGL 2.1 support. You get OpenGL 3.0 with the next generation Sandy Bridge in 2011. – mikewhatever Dec 31 '17 at 18:32

There is no way to get OpenGL 3.1 with Intel's Ironlake. According to Wikipedia the hardware only supports OpenGL 2.1. Don't bother with updates of drivers and mesa.

An external graphics card is probably out of the question, given the mobile CPU, Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU M 370 @ 2.40GHz.

In short, you need a new gaming rig.
