Drivers that could help
I was having some problems with running this game on my laptop under winXP with my current drivers, it seem like my current drivers didn't have support openGL 2.1 or greater and i could find any drivers on amd site other then the beta drivers.

This told me the version of OpenGL i was running and where to update. (you need great then ver 3)
OpenGL Extensions Viewer:
http://www.realtech-vr.com/glview/

Some sound driver i needed installed
OpenAL:
http://connect.creativelabs.com/openal/Downloads/Forms/AllItems.aspx

I was getting Framebuffers are not supported by the current OpenGL driver, please update your drivers and try again! Then i install these drivers and it seem to work
AMD Catalyst™ 13.6 Windows® Beta Driver:
http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/AMDCatalyst13-6WINBetaDriver.aspx

hope this helps other on XP and with none supported drivers of OpenGL 3.3

Would this also work on Windows 7? I only have an intel chipset so I got some extremely low specs and I don't think I have any AMD products in my computer.

sorry the will only work with amd, but OpenGL Extensions Viewer could help find the drivers you many need and tell you what current OpenGL version you have.

This could the link you need to looking in to for drivers:
http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect/graphics

some more information that could help you:
http://www.opengl.org/wiki/Getting_started

I don't know what issues win7 user are having but with me i need to get OpenGL 3.3 running on winXP so it could get the Framebuffers reference, you may just need to update the drivers if you're lucky

I had the same issues as you with with framebuffers reference but it seems I'm not able to update my drivers, should have expected this from an intel chipset. Ah well, even more reason to gather money for a new computer x___x

You may have to look into an official beta drivers or try a third party community drivers like http://www.omegadrivers.net or some others, I think they're hundred out there just look for which ever could work for you.
Good Luck either way

I got the same problem on win10 pro.
However,I could run my game normally right before I updated my video driver for my GTX760 several minutes ago.
So...wha tcause such a trouble?
P.S. I'm trying to rollback my video driver,see if works
