Graphics for light display is now poor

[wanderanwills]

Hi Everyone,
Just opened Xlights and got a dialogue box stating that my graphics card software needs to be fixed or updated?? (not sure exact wording, except there was some chinese characters in it as well?)
Exiting out of the dialogue box the display picture of my house and lighting changed to a poor quality, it is like many pixels is eliminated from the display??

Any ideas, it only looks like a xlights problem, all the rest of my graphics on the pc look fine.

Regards
Stephen

Update the graphics drivers for your computer. make sure windows update are up to date also.
My laptop used to look like that until I removed some video drivers and let the computer find the ones it needed.

Hi Djgra,
Updated drivers, xlights version etc and now it is back to normal.

Thank you.

Yep we utilize several OpenGL 3.0 features so it may look like it's only xLights but its usually because none of the other stuff you are doing are using the features xLights is trying to use.
