Hello everyone,

I have the problem that i cant use or start a game. Its called TR1X and it is a opensouuce reimplementation of the original Tomb Raider 1 game.

when i start the game i get a blackscreen with an error message "Can't create OpenGL context: wglMakeCurrent(): The handle is invalid."

I also in contact with the developer for several days , sending them crash logs and provididing informations to solve the problem but nothing worked so far .

My system specs are the following:

OS: Windows 11 Pro

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5600g

GPU: AMD RX 6750XT

AMD Adrenaline version :24.10.1

A freind who runs also an amd card (rx7900gre with adrenalin 24.08.1) dont have problems and the game worked right away after installation so i thought downgrading my amd drivers from 24.10.1 to 24.08.1 willwork for me and my rx6750xt aswell but no it dont work. i still get the same error saying "Can't create OpenGL context: wglMakeCurrent(): the handle is invalid."

Like i said im in contact with the devs for a couple of days and they also put alot of work into it to get the problem solved but nothing worked so far.

the link to the issue discusson on github is : https://github.com/LostArtefacts/TRX/issues/1738

I started the discussion saying its a windows 11 problem but that turned out to be wrong.

The link to  the github discussion provides more detailed information about that problem.

Mabye my problem can get solved asap and i can enjoy my favorite game again.

If i can provide any other infos/files etc. please let me know

Thank you inadvance

Me and a few others in these threads are having the same issue. Two AMD staff replied trying to solve it but they just ghost after their fixes dont work.

I get the same error between Darkest Dungeon and Symphony of War.

Tomb Raider Remasters crash to desktop immediately after opening.

The only way I can bypass this is if I revert to old patch version 24.1.1. but then I cant play new games on that patch.

@Rikimaru 

This is a very strange issue and i still dont have a solution vor workaround.

I encoumtered the Problem also with the game Brotato , Coumterstrike 1.6 and some other games with the old half life engine.

I also will test darkest dungeon AMD symphony of war .

For Tomb Raider Remastered you need to add the Start Argument "-ldpi" to get it to work. This worked for me at least.

Thank you for sharing your problems and expierience. As soon as i have any solution or workaround i will post it Herr.

[Rikimaru]

I appreciate that.

I tried putting the launch option -ldpi but didnt work for me. I've tried -windowed and -sw too, but still ctd.

Anyways, good luck 👍

you're facing a frustrating issue with TR1X and OpenGL. Since you've already tried downgrading drivers and have been in contact with the developers, I recommend making sure that your GPU drivers are fully compatible with OpenGL and that your system has all necessary Visual C++ Redistributables. Sometimes a clean driver installation can help. Additionally, you might want to check for any conflicting software or settings on Windows 11 that could be interfering. Best of luck getting your game working again!
