Title:
Bad Video Card Driver Error
Launcher Version:
1.4.12
Modpack:
FTB Unleashed
Modpack Version:
1.1.7 Minecraft Version 1.5.2
Log Link:
Details of the issue:
When i try to play FTB Unleashed it always tells me Bad Video Card Drivers. I've updated and checked to see if they were up to date at least 4 times and the Intel Driver Update Utility program told me that it was and I have also tried various things from other threads about people who have this same problem. Is the problem that i'm running windows 10?

Bad video card drivers!
-----------------------

Minecraft was unable to start because it failed to find an accelerated OpenGL mode.
This can usually be fixed by updating the video card drivers.

It's and Acer Aspire 5734z it's a couple years old like 2-3 I've played Feed The Beast Unleashed before with no problem before but this is my first time trying after I've update to Windows 10 and this is what happened. But I'll try and see if this solves the problem.

The problem is your video card drivers. You need to install the one for Windows 10, it it exists, for it to work correctly because most likely you are running the basic windows driver which will not correctly for gaming anyway. If there is no windows 10 driver then you will need to either wait for one to become available or go back to your previous version of windows.

Doesn't look like Acer made any drivers that supports Windows 10 on that hardware.

It's Intel graphics so you could try and download the latest drivers from Intels site and see if those can match your machine.

If you are playing on a desktop then you could get a new video card that supports windows 10 unless you are playing on a laptop. The only other solution is to go back to windows 8.1 unfortunately.

I've used the Intel driver update utility tool a lot of time and it says download chipsets but I always get an error when i try to install it and then I search what's wrpng and forums say "there is no such thing as an intel chipset" something or other

You probably have G45, Q45 or series 4 chipset.

Look intel's table and find out your chip: http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/graphics-drivers/000005526.html also notice footnote for your product: "Windows 8 drivers for the Mobile Intel® 4 Series Express Chipset Family support legacy Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) 1.1 and are included in the Windows 8 installation build. Drivers for these platforms are not available on the Intel website or on Windows Update."

tldr: if windows 10 update software said there is zero problems... Well Microsoft/Intel lied to you.

Then point 2: Does that GPU have opengl drivers which are officially supported by Mojang?
