Symptoms

When trying to launch the game using integrated graphics, the user receives the error: "A program error has occurred error: 38175513 : 620 no OpenGL 3.3 support detected". Intel HD 5500 supports OpenGL 4.0 at the very least. From what I've researched, this error may have to do with changes made in OpenGL 3.0 for compatibility reasons. The game (as well as Steam it seems from the system info report) is pulling the "OpenGL version string" rather than the "OpenGL core profile version string". The output of glxinfo | grep 'version' is:

server glx version string: 1.4
client glx version string: 1.4
GLX version: 1.4
Max core profile version: 4.5
Max compat profile version: 3.0
Max GLES1 profile version: 1.1
Max GLES[23] profile version: 3.1
OpenGL core profile version string: 4.5 (Core Profile) Mesa 19.1.6
OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 4.50
OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 19.1.6
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30
OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 3.1 Mesa 19.1.6
OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 3.10
GL_EXT_shader_implicit_conversions, GL_EXT_shader_integer_mix,

Reproduction

1. Have integrated graphics
2. Press "Play" on the launcher.

Start with the linked APPID.log and the reported glxinfo output, then reproduce the launch failure on Intel HD Graphics 5500 with Proton 4.11-3. Trace how the OpenGL version is selected for FINAL FANTASY VIII - REMASTERED. Done means the game launches without rejecting the available OpenGL core profile.
