I normally play eve on my Linux machine under wine. Today I tried to play on my windows 10 machine, I haven’t played on this machine in a couple of weeks. I receive this error when executing the launcher. The launcher never appears. My video drivers are installed just fine, other games launch just fine. I uninstalled/reinstalled the launcher. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

When I had this kind of crap on Windows, I reinstalled the opengl and still manually played with the environments. By the way, I had an outdated version of opengl, something like the 2.2 bt now is 4.6 It was 2 months ago.

So I reinstalled my video drivers just for the lolz. Then removed and reinstalled the eve launcher. I still get the same error.
