0.36 -> What’s up, guys? In this tutorial, I will
show you how to fix the “OpenGL error 65543,
7.14 -> please make sure you have up-to-date drivers”
error when trying to launch Minecraft on your PC.
13.14 -> This should be quite an easy
tutorial. For more information,
16.74 -> click on the first link in the description below.
20.28 -> The OpenGL launch error can be caused by
an outdated graphics driver, java issues,
26.58 -> or when Minecraft is unable to use
the correct OpenGL files on startup.
32.4 -> First, open up your Windows Device Manager.
36.48 -> On this window, expand your Display adaptors.
If you have to use intel integrated graphics,
43.38 -> then right-click the processor
and select Update Driver.
47.88 -> Next, select Search automatically for drivers.
If you are using an NVIDIA or AMD graphics card,
55.38 -> then I suggest using the GeForce Experience
application for NVIDIA graphics card users and
61.92 -> the AMD Radeon Software for AMD users.
Both applications are very similar,
67.8 -> and a download link to both will be
available in my guide linked below.
72.72 -> In the Drivers tab, click on Download.
This will take a couple of minutes to
78.12 -> download and automatically install the
latest graphics driver to your system.
82.38 -> After installing the driver,
try to launch Minecraft again,
85.8 -> as this will fix the OpenGL error for most users.
90.18 -> If the problem persists, then this issue is
probably related to your current Java version.
96.84 -> Open up your preferred browser and navigate
to java.com/en/download to get to this page.
105.72 -> Click on Download Java, which will take a
couple of seconds to download the latest
110.58 -> Java version to your system. When the download
is complete, simply double-click the downloaded
116.4 -> .exe file and follow the Java setup to
install the latest version to your system.
122.4 -> When this is done, open up your Windows settings.
In the Windows Update section, click on Check for
129.6 -> Updates and proceed to download the latest
update before restarting your PC. Windows
136.08 -> updates will install outdated drivers which
can help fix the OpenGL error you are getting.
142.08 -> Lastly, if nothing has helped you out,
145.02 -> then you will have to replace the OpenGL
file in your Minecraft installation.
149.88 -> Navigate to DLL-Files.com
and look up OpenGL32.dll.
157.32 -> Here, you can download the latest version of
the OpenGL Client. It might take a second for
163.98 -> the download to start, and your browser
can help you find your downloaded files.
169.32 -> Drag and drop the downloaded
.zip file to your desktop.
172.8 -> Here, right-click the file and select Extract All,
176.58 -> and then unzip the content of
your download to your desktop.
181.2 -> Next, search for %AppData% and hit
enter. Your file explorer will open up.
189.78 -> Navigate to .minecraft and
search for OpenGL in this folder.
195.48 -> A list of OpenGL files and folders will show up.
Right-click one of the OpenGL.dll files and select
202.62 -> Open File Location. Finally, drag and drop the
downloaded OpenGL.dll file into this folder.
209.94 -> When this is done, you will be required to restart
213.12 -> your PC before relaunching Minecraft,
and the OpenGL error will be fixed.
219 -> In case you have any further issues
or problems following this tutorial,
223.62 -> then I suggest following my extensive
guide linked in the description below.
228 -> I hope this helped you out, leave a comment if you
have any questions, and see you in the next one.
