I am trying to open a virtual android device using genymotion. The problem is that it will not able to start Genymotion virtual device.Theirs an error display that it was unable to initialize OpenGL renderer library. I already check the OpenGL support and its was version 3.0. What is the problem now?
Unable to initialize OpenGL renderer library.
I had a similar issue that ended up costing me quite some time.
In my case, I was using an older Intel graphics card driver that prevented me from using Genymotion after upgrading to Windows 8.1.
I tried multiple StackOverflow posts that did not lead me anywhere .Ultimately after I uninstalled my older driver and installed the newest version from
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/default.aspx
the problem no longer occurred.
Though this problem may be fairly specific, I shall leave this here in hopes that it might help others who run into the same issue.
Trying to update your graphics card driver, if your graphics card is from intel(included)
you can visit this site for updating
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/default.aspx
note: Requires Java (if java confirm to update, try to update first)
then after updating your graphics card driver, try to reinstall your genymotion application, but don't remove the templates(your virtual device that was created before) then after installing try again
my problem is solved bby this technique, hope you problem solved too :)
EDIT:
This problem because your machine didn't support OpenGL 2, you can check the OpenGL version using this software

You can see the marked section(inside red line) that's says my openGL was updated to 2.x version
Here is how i solved this in my intel core i3 :
Goto control panle > System and Security > Windows Update > Check for updates
Now in the selected update list make sure to check the options Intel Corporation - Graphics AdapterWDDM1.1,Graphics Adapter WDDM1.2, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.3 -Intel(R)HD Graphics and Intel - Other hardware -Intel(R) Management Engine Interface.
After updating genymotion works as expected.
You can manually download driver for intel from https://downloadcenter.intel.com/
I faced this issue after updating the video driver unlike others over here who had to update the video driver to resolve this. I had to update Java and the Android APK to resolve this error.
