Also happened to me with this update. Outdated video card is suspected. I ordered a cheap newer video card (ZOTAC GeForce GT 710 1GB PCIe x1) to hold me over until I can afford a new PC.

Yes, even after reinstalling. ###### ## involved in many important video-related processes. Either your video drivers are outdated or you have an outdated video card altogether. I'm betting on the latter because driver updates aren't too critical when it comes to OpenGL compatibility. If you have 50 bucks laying around you can invest in a cheap video card to run at least ROBLOX, or if you have more, you can go all in and get a new PC. By the sounds of it, you're using an old PC and there won't be much potential in it, as with mine, which is from 2006.

I got that exact error, too. ROBLOX Studio definitely doesn't support OpenGL 1.x. My iGPU was running version 1.5, and was the explanation of why I was getting this error. I just got my new video card today, and it runs ROBLOX silky smooth. It's nothing like the sluggishness and severe framerate drops of my ancient Intel q965 integrated graphics.
