Sorry, this is just not an OpenGL functionality level that is supported 
by this game engine. Since 2019, it requires OpenGL 3.2. This was an 
upstream change that was made intentionally, so it is unlikely to be 
reverted in future versions of the engine.

If Mesa's Vivante driver is providing misleading version information and 
the driver actually has better functionality than what it advertises, 
that would be something to take up with the driver's developers (but 
bear in mind that this is a reverse-engineered driver for a 10+ year old 
GPU design, so don't expect miracles).
