Bad Video Driver: , Pixel format not accelerated - (w/solution)

[mcandmar]

Despite the error messages and half the internet telling you to "buy a real computer" or "update your video drivers", all you have to do is change the Max Memory value in the Launcher Options.

If the maximum memory is set to 1GB = crash with "bad video driver" "Pixel format not accelerated" error.

If the maximum memory is set to 768MB or less, everything works fine.

Hope that helps people out if they encounter this problem, i only spent an entire afternoon trying to figure that one out >.<

Oh and for those who want to know, i'm using a Dell Optiplex 760 with an integrated Intel GMA 4000 video card. Yes its a piece of crap but it works

Do u have 64bit java? Cause if you dont thrn you cant allocate higher ram amounta (forgot the limit for 32bit but i think its 1gb-2gb)

no x32, the max you can set in 32bit mode is 1gb, i.e. slider all the way to the right.

On my main rig which is x64 i have it set at 12gb, this issue only seems to be with the 32bit version when set to the max 1gb.

Yup figured that would be the problem a 64bit version will fix it for ya
