    Exclamation "Failed to initialize graphics" **FIX**

    Don't forget to thank me if this works for you..

    type into your browser bar: chrome:flags

    and ENABLE:

    Override software rendering list
    Overrides the built-in software rendering list and enables GPU acceleration on unsupported system configurations.

    This should already be ENABLED:
    Native Client

    Enable Native Client for all web applications, even those that were not installed from the Chrome Web Store.

    It will ask you to restart your browser down the bottom of the page.

    BAM!

    Hint: F11 button is chromes fullscreen option.

    You just enter chrome:flags in the address bar of the browser. If you do it this way though, it's quite possible you'll run into crashes or things that don't look right, since you're allowing chrome to use a driver that google has determined doesn't work correctly with chrome. If it's supported hardware, you should really just use a supported driver as well.

    Okay so I still seem to be getting the "Failed to initialize graphics, you may need to update your graphic drivers" message.

    I have these options enabled:
    - Override software rendering list
    - Native Client

    I am running chrome on my Mac OS X laptop.

    These are my graphics drivers details:
    GeForce 8600M GT:

    Chipset Model: GeForce 8600M GT
    Type: Display
    Bus: PCIe
    PCIe Lane Width: x16
    VRAM (Total): 256 MB
    Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de)
    Device ID: 0x0407
    Revision ID: 0x00a1
    ROM Revision: 3212
    Displays:
    Color LCD:
    Resolution: 1440 x 900
    Depth: 32-Bit Color
    Core Image: Hardware Accelerated
    Main Display: Yes
    Mirror: Off
    Online: Yes
    Quartz Extreme: Supported
    Built-In: Yes
    Display Connector:
    Status: No Display Connected
    Which seems to comply with this: (unless I am missing something =s)

    Any ideas what the problem is and how to solve it ??

    Thanks

    Trolle:

    Did you make sure to hit save and restart the browser?
    And when you say enabled, under the options in chrome:flags it has disable in blue right?

    If all that is done, I would try to actually update your graphics cards here: http://www.spacetimestudios.com/show...-freeze-screen

    If still no luck, report to the Devs

    Yeah I am sure these options saved, I did relaunch the browser and the "Disable" is in blue.

    ^^ I am running on a Mac OS X so not really applicable. Thanks anyway =]


    What I don't understand is the graphics card issue. I have a "NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT" which surely would be better than a "NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT." Hmm... not sure where I am going wrong...

    The M in your Video card name usually means Mobile/Laptop version.

    That's a huge problem, because Google's chrome is not stable with ANY mobile card right now.

    *** If all else fails ***
    What I would do if I were you is try again with Google chrome BETA release(That's what I'm using) you can find it here: http://www.google.com/landing/chrome/beta/
    Its not always as stable as the.. stable release(Mine has never crashed though) and they have more options than the stable version.

    Oh so it may be an issue because I am running on a laptop. I'll try downloading that version of chrome and let you know how I go. Thanks for your help!

    EDIT: Still getting the same message.. *sigh*
    No biggy, I'll just have to try it on my desktop Mac. Thanks though =]

    Gareth if there was a way to give you a high five through the interwebs I would. Until then a little thanks from me is what you will receive.

    How/Where do I find this? I've also not been able to get it to run properly yet and am still getting the "Failed to initialize graphics" message.
    I am running on a Mac OS X laptop with a NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics card. Does the "M" in the graphics card indicate that it is incompatible with Chrome? Because I have read that a lot of people are running Star Legends on their laptops and I don't know what is different about mine.
