One of the most common problems with Wurm (and a lot of games) is ensuring that your graphic card is compatablecompatible. Wurm requires Java and OpenGL so forget about DirectX, there is no need to update to the latest versions or include this in your list of worries. Lets get java out of the way. Go to http://www.java.com and click on the bright yellow get it now button in the top right. Download, install and be happy. The recommendation is for a minimum java version of 1.4.2 and the action just taken will ensure this.

This now leaves us with your graphic card to deal with. Wurm requires OpenGL 1.3 and this is supplied as part of your card's video drivers. If your card manufacturer does not supply the OpenGL drivers or they are inadequate then often there is little you can do except get another card. As each manufacturer is different, the rest of this will be broken down into manufacters. For each individual entry use OS / Version / GFX Card / Status where status can be ok, broken for fixed #nnn where nnn is one of the corrective actions added by contributerscontributors.
