Tutorial How to run RPG Developer Bakin games on older hardware

[Surgy]

Since Bakin RPG engine requires your video card to support least OpenGL 4.4, the games made with it won't run on any older hardware. But it's possible to work around this by using the Mesa 3D graphics library, although it'll run slowly as a result, but at least it'll run at all.

Here's how:

1. Download a recent Windows build of

   (like mesa3d-24.3.4-release-msvc.7z).
2. Extract the archive.
3. Copy all files from the unpacked x64 subdirectory to the game executable's data subdirectory.
4. Run the game with this batch (run_game.cmd):

   @echo off
   echo Configuring...
   set MESA_GL_VERSION=4.4
   set MESA_GLSL_VERSION=440
   
   rem The following seem to be auto-configured so just for a reference:
   rem set GALLIUM_DRIVER=llvmpipe
   rem or maybe (but unlikely): 
   rem set GALLIUM_DRIVER=zink
   
   echo Running the game...
   Game.exe

5. Remove all checkmarks in the Postprocessing menu (-> ALL) and set the Shadow Quality to Low.
