My suggestion, stick with Android 7 emulators when using hardware acceleration for Intel Haswell and older iGPUs. Using the Intel iGPU works great on Android 7, but is flaky on Android 7.1 and doesn't work at all on Android 8.

So they are purposely falling back to using software emulation which better supports the new Android emulators.

It appears that Intel iGPU drivers for Haswell (4th gen) processor and older don't support OpenGL well enough for Android 7.1+ devices. Intel iGPUs of that generation (and older) have many issues with OpenGL compatibility. I'm sorry about it, but we need to be able to switch to better-supported Intel GPU drivers especially when running high API levels (25+) of system images. If you have just a Intel HD 4xxx running the emulator, it's intended that a compatibility renderer be used. Open settings with Ctrl-Shift-S then, depending on the version of the emulator, either go to Settings -> General -> OpenGL ES renderer or to Settings -> Advanced -> OpenGL ES rendererĪnother comment on the bug report provides further illumination on this issue: ANGLE is Direct3d based OpenGL emulation.Īs per the comment this is not guaranteed to work, indeed I am able to re-enable hardware acceleration for Android 7 emulators, but with hardware acceleration enabled, all I receive is a black screen for Android 8 emulators. SwiftShader is CPU based OpenGL ES emulation, so this setting will not provide a speedup. Options are OpenGL, ANGLE and SwiftShader. If an Intel GPU is the only GPU available on system it is possible to re-enable accelerated rendering of OpenGL ES, by overriding the default OpenGL ES renderer in settings (see below). The solution is to, if possible, switch to using an external GPU for running the emulator. It appears that this message is being displayed for all systems using Intel GPUs, not just systems running specific versions of a graphics driver. Settings page, then changing the OpenGL ES renderer to "ANGLE Your own risk, you may switch back to using the Intel GPU by going to Order to make the emulator more reliably run on Intel GPU drivers. If your system doesn't have a discrete GPU, we intended this change in A comment in the on the bug report pertaining to this issue by a Google employee is illuminating.
