Fresh install, what the heck is going on

[Ianwubby]

 

This is a completely fresh install (and at this point I've reinstalled it multiple times to try to fix this bug), and this just keeps happening:

Os, memory, graphics card.  And please don't paste your log here, it is unusable.  Use Dropbox, Google Drive or any file sharing site

Looks like you are running open glad for some reason

Sorry, it's now on Google Drive. I'm using Windows 8.1, have eight GB of RAM, graphics card is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M.

And, what is "open glad"? I looked it up, and didn't find squat.

OpenGL

I just booted it up again, and the problem magically seems to have fixed itself. I have no idea what changed, but I'm not complaining. However, it wasn't just a case of "turn it off and back on," as I tried that multiple times without success. But hey, it's fixed!

None of that is true, it didn't fix itself. But I think I may have actually found the root of the issue.

Following up, how are you starting the game?  The log says that OpenGL is being forced:

Forcing GfxDevice: OpenGL Core

Given that video card (I have the same one), you shouldn't be running OpenGL.  If it isn't on the game, you will need to check the nVidia settings on the computer

As it turns out, it did NOT fix itself.

I'm just launching it through the "play" button on Steam. Also, I'm hopeless with technical stuff about computers; If I shouldn't be running OpenGL, how would I go about turning it off?

EDIT: I just remembered something from way long ago; There was THIS post over two years ago about how enabling -force-opengl would cause less memory usage, and I enabled it, forgot about it, and never disabled it. However, I just went in and got rid of that, and I think the problem is actually fixed this time.

Now I'm just wondering, if that was the root of the issue, why I never had any issues with it until literally right now?

Most likely a driver update from either Windows or nVidia. These things (especially the Windows ones) can happen without your even knowing about them.
