    Moved to Starbound Discussions.

    OpenGL is already used by Starbound. It doesn't run in DirectX mode.

    That's the minimum version required to run Starbound. The OpenGL version is determined by your video card. Using outdated or wrong drivers can cause the problem that supported version isn't detected or detected wrong.

    OpenGL 2.0 was released in 2004, they are currently on 4.5, but as said, the supported version is based on your graphics card, so if your card is older than 2004, you probably meed this requirement.
