Error when opening ParaView via Remote Desktop Connection

ParaView Support
2

Hello Nathan,

What remote desktop software do you use? Is it Windows to Windows?

I think this is a Windows RDP issue. I believe RDP does not support OpenGL beyond 1. You’ll need to run with Mesa when using ParaView remotely. Mathieu Westphal wrote how to get this to work in 2020. It may work for you.

Good luck,
