Re: Fatal error at starting : need to updated drivers opengl directX
I downloaded the program on a windows 7 ultimate (TRAVELING so use the old trusty laptop)
Worked fine and allowed me to save the 3D pictures and even allowed me to edit the 3D pics in the initial session. When I went to reopen them for a second session the fatal error message closed the program down.
I downloaded the drivers, but no luck. Seems strange that it all worked perfectly when the program was first installed.

Sorry but I fear there will be never a universal solution for drivers. Sometimes, a system update breaks something, sometimes a driver update breaks something else.

Re: Fatal error at starting : need to updated drivers opengl directX
I'm having the same issue as of 3 March 2020 Linux Mint 17 OpenGL version 4.5.0 NVIDIA 384.130
I can run the older version available through the package manager without any problems, but the downloaded current version tells me to update my drivers even though I'm using the recommended drivers.

UPDATE: I feel pretty stupid but after running the file named "SweetHome3D-Java3D-1_5_2" instead of "SweetHome3D" it is working, and appears to be the current version. It was just the filename throwing me off.
