This error only occurs when I try to launch a 1.17 pre-release or a recent snapshot. Every older version works fine.

To those saying update your drivers: They're already updated, I've tried every solution I could find on YouTube, and nothing worked. Saying this again it only happens on the pre-releases and the recent snapshots.

Yeah, I had the same problem on dad’s 10 year old laptop. The drivers are up to date and I can’t play versions that are above 1.16.5
The very proffesional conclusion i came to is the graphics card was too old to handle it.
