Thanks for the fast reply!

The driver is updated and I'm not running in a VM, it's in my laptop.

General / Game not running on Windows 8

Hi!

Using Visual Studio 2013 on Windows 7 I compiled my game and tested it on other machines. It works perfectly except on Windows 8. Whenever I run the game, the message "Game.exe stopped working..." pops up and the game crashes. Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

General / Re: Usage of GetLocalBounds()

But in both cases GetTextureRect also serves well:

auto rect = mySprite.GetTextureRect();
mySprite.SetOrigin(rect.width / 2.f, bounds.height / 2.f);

The only difference between these two functions is that GetTextureRect returns an x and y relative to the Texture's coordinates (useful for sprite animation). My curiosity regarding the usage of this method is specifically the returning values of the coordinates of the Sprite.

General / Usage of GetLocalBounds()

Hi there,

I'm new to SFML library thus I've been studying the Sprite class and I've got a doubt about the method GetLocalBounds(). What is the actual usage of this function?

I do understand that it returns a Rect with the dimensions of the sprite inside it's coordinate system, I just couldn't imagine any actual usage of this method. Why would I want to get the local bounds of the sprite? I know it's a silly question, I just couldn't sleep with it in my mind
