I'm running a Windows 10 VM on a newly installed instance of Proxmox 8.3. When trying to run a 3d slicing program, OrcaSlicer, I'm greeted with a message saying that the application connot run normally because my OpenGL version is Lower than 2.0.

I've searched around and have done the following to try and fix my issues with zero success.

1. Changed the display adapter to Spice.
2. Manually installed Spice drivers.
3. Manually installed Libver
4. Followed with Window 10 Guest Best Practices.
5. Ensured that all VirtIO ISO are installed and that there are zero drivers missing in the Device Manger within the Windows Guest.
6. Installed the MESA drivers on the guest. I followed these directions here.

At this point, I've run out of ideas and wanted to reach out to see if anyone had any thoughts on what I'm missing.

This Windows VM will not be used for anything 3d intensive and the slicing software should run just fine if I have to emulate the graphics card with the CPU.

Have you tried the instructions here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1238523/enabling-opengl-in-windows-10-guest-vm-in-qemu? This worked for me.
 
Thanks for the tip. I did find that thread while I was doing my searching. I tried those steps, but was still unable to get it to work. I ended up throwing in an old card and dedicating that to the Windows VM. Seems to be working now, so I'll most likely keep that configuration.

Appreciate you sharing!
