Hi! I need to install GL3 to open a patch that requires it; but when I install it it just says there is an error, but it doesn't say anything helpful as to how to fix the problem. Also, I could not find anywhere to download the GL3 package as to install it manually.

NVidia GTX 1050. Studio Driver version 472.12

I am guessing you will have to either upgrade to the

Hey, Ben thank you! Installing Max beta solved the issue. Strangely, GL3 was installed along with the beta. I wonder if the files were present from the previous install attempt or it was bundled with the beta. I wish the package manager would say what the errors are.

Anyways, many thanks for the help!

Awesome, glad to hear you are up and running! As of the Max 8.2 beta, we now include the GL3 package in the Max factory install (though GL2 is still the default GL Engine).

cannot install GL3, the error message doesn't say why.
