I just bought DOOM 3 and got the BFG Edition thrown in for free, so I'm not complaining about that. But the BFG Edition fails to launch, bringing up a window saying "Unable to initialize OpenGL". Pasted text from error below. I'm trying to play it on a Windows 11 laptop that plays the original DOOM 3 just fine. Any help is appreciated.
