I am trying to run a cocos2dx application, but I receive the following error.
OpenGL version is too old
OpenGL 1.5 or higher is required [your version is [null]]. Please
upgrade the driver of your video card.
My computer isnt really old, it's not the best computer but the opengl version says its 4.4, and my graphics card is AMD Radeon R5.
What do I have to do to get this to work?

Answer 1

Not much of an answer, but hopefully a helpful contribution:
The relevant error message is within this file and implies that glGetString(GL_VERSION) is returning NULL. Which appears almost certainly to mean that you don't have a valid context, but the method involved — GLViewImpl::initWithRect — creates a window and validates success before reaching the version check. So something amiss in glfw looks more likely.
Are you able to step debug that file? If you're on Windows, are you sure you're not stumbling upon one of those edge cases where the accelerated driver isn't available to your program? The software driver is some prehistoric fixed-functionality implementation if memory serves.
