Starmade | Possibly misleading dialog (JVM "Critical Error" with Intel graphics)
Confirmed task for development, LowPublic
Actions

Description

I have neither a Mac nor an Intel card, just noticed the inconsistency in this post (about a different issue): https://starmadedock.net/threads/25923/#post-298015

In case of a crash with an Intel card detected, the JVM dialog instructs the user to "press the button on the bottom left" which is the "Exit" button; it should probably ask the user to press the button on the bottom RIGHT where it says "Download Intel Drivers".

If exiting the crash dialog is indeed what is intended, then it is confusing at least. If you don't want the user to retry, and/or not send a report when they do have an Intel card, it should say so explicitly (like "press the EXIT button, then update your drivers" or something along those lines). Likewise, it isn't obvious (to me at least) whether the download button is considered an automated process, or in fact what is meant when you say "manually download the driver".

cant reproduce .. but the screencap looks obvious to me

removal of the report button and correcting the instruction on what to click should fix this i guess.

also .. no idea if "retry" makes anysense here

aside from this particular error message not being associated with the intel gpu driver
