sad   Fatal error at starting : need to updated drivers opengl directX
Hi,

After difficulties to start the application (seems that there are interferences with current Java installation, which ones), everything is OK for starting but I get a failure on "need update of drivers 3D Opengl and DirectX".

The issue is traduced by the following error message :

"Sweet home 3D must leave because of a fatal error in system 3D. Please update drivers DirectX/OpenGL of your video card"

Then I launched an update from nvidia with :
368.39-desktop-win8-win7-winvista-64bit-international-whql.exe (2016)
this while the last drivers proposed by Asus are :
VGA_nVidia_Win7_64_Z817129616 (2012)

But nothing changed : where can be got the updates of the drivers ?
for ASUS G73SW (16Go memory) with processor Core I7 2630qm and a graphic card NVidia GTX460M windows 7 pro regularly updated

Then I tried a second computer (used for test, much more slower and low memory to check web applications efficiency), it is a HP Pavillon DV7 4163sf (video AMD Radeon 5000 series) - 4Go win 10), same error with best updated driver.

I get the same result.

On a third ASUS 550C I have been successful.

I think that the solution is to have the details af the test which lead to the error : the drivers functions needed (which can be tested with the driver check for directX).
May some computers (many) cannot have the needed functions even with directx 11 ?

I would know where are the limitations or incompatibility.

Best regards
