Hi, i just installed windows 8.1 and wiped my hdd on my laptop.
I tried to play minecraft, didnt work out so well.

Problem :

When i open the laucher, Everything is as normal, but when i click on Play, the game returns with a crashlog. Also a pop-up window saying my graphic drivers are outdated.

I updated the drivers from ATIs homepage, and verified they're the latest.
However, same problem. Same crashlog and popup window.

Here's my crashlog, please help me continue my Epic timelapse

anyway OP minecraft 1.8 requires higher graphics specs than the other versions
(i had this issue and it sucks i know) minecraft 1.8 requires opengl version 2.1 or higher.. the chances are your old gpu doesnt support this

fixes:

upgrade gpu
buy new laptop

What are your full specs?

And who is the maker of your laptop?

Also, I've found two drivers, one is a legacy driver from last year, and a newer driver from this year.
1) http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/d ... 8%20-%2032

2) http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/m ... t-packages

Now, I've read up on these cards, and they came out in 2008. AMD has moved them to "legacy" status, which means no more monthly updates, and no more performance updates for any newer OS's. (Win 8.1)

Some say it isn't support on 8.1, while others (and AMD) say that it is, but it is a legacy card.

Product : Inspiron 1545
CPU : Intel Pentium Dual-core T4400 both at 2.20GHz
RAM : 4GB (Not sure if shared if it matters)
GPU : ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4300 Series

I have windows 8, and it works great, you should've taken it to a computer professional.

Then you wasted a bunch of money. You could have just reinstalled windows and I doubt windows 8.1 messed it up. You could have just not have reinstalled your drivers.

The GPU is very old. So AMD does not make supported drivers anymore to keep up with games.
