Problem is that FHM3 does not work with your graphics processor (GPU). You can see it at this line in your debug trace:

GLWidget2 - GL_VERSION = - Version = 0.0.0
We found that this problem exists for a certain GPU: Intel HD 3000. Intel does not update the driver software anymore but it seems to be buggy which makes them incompatible with the new version of Qt (that's the platform layer which we're using for FHM):

QT 5 has huge compatibility issue with opengl on some hardware configurations Combination of Intel HD3000 driver and Nvidia/ATI card won't work on Windows 10. https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-42240
Intel drops support for this card but their drivers has bug that leads to crash.
(See qt - Deploying Qt5 on Windows without Hardware Acceleration - Stack Overflow)

On some laptops there are two graphic processors (GPU). One for gaming and one integrated GPU for desktop apps to save energy. The HD 3000 GPU is such a power saving integrated GPU. If the laptop has a 3D GPU the user should try to activate it. This will help him around the problems with our Facegen. More info here:

At first, I wasn't able to use facegen at all on my 4-year old multimedia laptop with all 3 options checked off. The facegens did show up after changing the FHM3 game settings from integrated to dedicated graphics. This probably would only be available for multimedia/gaming laptops, more basic laptops might not have this. I did this by opening the NVidia Control Panel, going to Manage 3D settings, browsing to and adding FHM3.exe to the list of programs, and changing from Integrated Graphics to the NVidia processor. If you're on a laptop, you might need to do something similar and change the 3D settings for FHM3 on your video card (be it NVidia, Radeon, or whatever). I didn't need to do this for OOTP or FHM2, though.

We also added a command line parameter. Try to start FHM3 with the command line parameter UseDesktopOpenGL. To do that on Windows, open the properties dialog for an FHM3 shortcut and add parameters to the “target” line like this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Out of the Park Developments\Franchise Hockey Manager 3\fhm3.exe" tracemode usedesktopopengl
