Hello,

OpenGL* 1.4 + extensions is supported by the Intel® G31, G33, Q33, and Q35 chipsets.

That information is available here:

In this case you should check with the game developer to verify that you system meets with that requirement.

We also suggest you to try the steps on the game troubleshooting guide posted here;

The latest generic driver available for that video controller is posted here:

If the issue persists, check with your game developer for any patches or updates available and check with them for further troubleshooting information on this issue.
