Title: Texture does not load properly
Post by: Navhkrin on February 07, 2016, 01:58:39 pm

Code =
sf::Texture img;
      if (!img.loadFromFile("img.png")) {
         throw std::runtime_error("Could not load image.png");
      }

I copied that "img.png" to everywhere, from exe to project directory to directory where vcproject is located. It still fails to load.
This is working directory of project = $(ProjectDir)

Check your image file name very carefully :)

Is your PNG actually a PNG? And is it not an 8-bit PNG (not supported)?

Try using an absolute path to the file to check if the file can be loaded/is supported.
e.g. img.loadFromFile("C:/images/img.png")

If that works, your current working directory is not what you think it is.
If it does not, the image itself will need to be saved in a supported format.
