Hello Bilbo, in the log is noting to see, the problem is the laptop

Sorry, but no clairvoyants here. *g*
Without further infos about your system nobody can say what's wrong.

What you could try at first step:
1. Delete in folder "{USER}\AppData\Local\GIANTS Editor 64bit ..\" the file "editor.xml" and all files in folder "shader_cache".
2. Create a shortcut for the editor and setup in shortcut properties "run: maximized". Start the GE via shortcut.
3. Try running the GE in admin mode.
4. NEVER use cloud storage (eg. OneDrive) for FS related files.

Hey Bilbo

i have try what you say but still not working.
USER}\AppData\Local\GIANTS Editor ...\editor_log.txt this i cant find

please tell what to do

Enter in explorer address line: "%LOCALAPPDATA%" and navigate to folder "GIANTS Editor 64bit ..".
If the file "editor_log.txt" doesn't exist, the GE doesn't even has startup and probably your system is not suitable to run it at all.

1: Uninstall the specific GIANTS Editor.
2: Go to the folder "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\" here you find the folders of the specific installed GIANTS Editor, and now you must delete it completely.
3: Go to your Programs folder and delete the folder of the specific GIANTS Editor.
4: Install the GIANTS Editor again.

Did you follow the procedures described in my post above? (01.06.2020 12:01)
If that doesn't help, there's something wrong with your system setup.
Disable in system settings the complete Xbox crap.
Disable any anti-virus software (temporarily).
Disable programs which access the gfx-card directly (frame-recorder, gfx utilities like Nvidia Experience, Steam-Overlay, etc).
Keep your system clean and do not run unnecessary programs in the background.

Hello, if the previous versions work normally and after installing the update of the new editor this does not work, then there will probably be no error in the Win. system. I think the problem can be caused by the help pop-up window when starting the program. I turned this off and the editor starts normally.

Hello

, I have the same problem trying to open GE V8 .......

But i noticed this in the logfile:

Render System
Driver: OpenGL
Card Vendor: ATI Technologies Inc.
Renderer: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4300 Series
Version: 3.3.11672 Core Profile Context
Shader Version: 3.30
Error: GLSL version 4.50 or better is required. Your version is 3.30

So i think this is all about updating your drivers ( WIN10 ? ), if it is not possible insert a newer videocard or stay with version 7 ...
Bilbo Beutlin (BBeutlin) 29.11.2020 16:10
The ATI-Radeon-HD-4000-Serie does support OpenGL only upto vs. 3.3.
The mobility (notebook) versions are mostly not exchangeable (fixed soldered).
