If the error is not going away on its own, then try the methods mentioned below to fix it.

Step

1

Make sure you meet the game’s minimum system requirements

The Renderer Setup error in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle can pop up if you don’t meet the game’s minimum system requirements.

So, in such a case, your only option is to upgrade your components if you want to enjoy playing the game.
