The OpenRA team has released another playtest recently. In order to help a small number of players who are experiencing problems with poor GPU drivers, playtest-20200426 restores the ability to use OpenGL 2.1.

OpenRA will continue to prefer OpenGL 3.2+ (or OpenGL ES 3.0+), but a new option in the settings menu allows you to switch back to the legacy rendering API if you experience glitches or performance issues.



A new “OpenGL Profile” setting allows legacy OpenGL 2.1 rendering to be used.

This playtest also includes a scripting fix for two RA campaign missions, but no other gameplay changes. They believe that all of the important issues have now been resolved, so plan a final release in the near future if no issues are reported with the updated graphics support.

So, give it a try and download it at OpenRA's official website. Have fun and provide some feedback, if possible.
