+## `Error: Could not create renderer`

+If you're getting this error:
+
+```console
+$ scrcpy --select-tcpip
+scrcpy 2.1.1 <https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy>
+INFO: ADB device found:

+[server] INFO: Device: [samsung] samsung SM-G998B (Android 13)

+```
+
+This is probably due to your graphics card drivers, and according to [this issue comment](https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/issues/58#issuecomment-747511886) you can solve this by running:
+
+```bash
+scrcpy --render-driver=software --select-tcpip
