How to Run unity with -force-opengl option

Hi,

Whenever I hit the play button on unity 64 bit 5.6.3f1 an error message pops up and says "Current graphics device type is Direct3D11, Run unity with -force-opengl option." Put simply and after some research, I don't know how to run unity with OpenGL. I'd appreciate it if someone could help me out here. Thanks a lot!

Start "Run" or cmd.exe and type something like this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Unity\Editor\Unity.exe" -force-opengl

 

Hey there,

Thanks so much for the quick reply but when I did what you said, it says it is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Any ideas why it says this? Thanks.

 

How did you type it? The citation marks are supposed to be included.

Also make sure the path is correct.

 

I typed it with the citations and also tried without the citations. I checked the path and it is correct. This wasn't happening about a month or two ago. Thanks for your help.

 

I have unity hub installed so typing this in launches the unity editor with opengl but then unity hub closes it and opens itself not in opengl so what should i do... Uninstall unity hub?

 

Type it in the Unity shortcut (not Unity Hub).

 

I was encountering the exact same issue. My solution is to edit the Target of the shortcut and add a -projectPath and -force-glcore parameter like this

"C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\2019.1.6f1\Editor\Unity.exe" -projectPath "C:\Your\Project\Folder" -force-glcore

This will launch the project immediately and skip the Unity Hub

 

Sorry for bumping the old post, but in case someone needs it, now it's easier with Unity Hub, Advanced Project Settings:
