How to resolve a black black screen after updating Nipper or a “Failed to create OpenGL for format” error

An update to the QTs used for our software requires up to date graphics drivers or settings.

Please Note: This guide is for Nipper (v2) only. 

Depending on the environment you have Nipper installed on the fix is as follows:

On VM workstation

  • Enable the 3D accelerator graphics.

  • Make sure video memory allocation is at least 512mb

On physical machine (PC/laptop)

  • Update the graphics drivers to the latest version.

  • Check if your MS .Net framework needs updating. Net Framework 4.7.2 has been seen to also resolve this issue.
