Message: The game crashed whilst initializing game. Error: org.lwjgl.LWJGLException: Pixel format not accelerated.
What I expected to happen was the game would load.
What actually happened was it did not load at all but returned immediately to the launch window.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open launcher (already logged in)
2. Click PLAY to launch game
3. Game crashes and returns to launcher
