System / Re: Joystick Disconnect causes Crash at pollEvent()
« on: August 20, 2015, 09:57:40 pm »
So, good news...?
I finally got one of my other Windows 8.1 machines running. The problem is not reproducible on it, so it must be some hardware/driver issue. Ha from now on I have to keep this machine up as vital equipment. Makes me not want to add multi-platform support
. Need 2 of every kind like Noah or something.
Anyway downloading every driver update I can find. Not sure what else to try from here, maybe it works? I still find it odd my reducing the joystick count solves it so easily. Seems like it could pop up for other people. Think I will probably leave that fix in my build of SFML just because I don't really need it and would rather have to explain to people with 5 joysticks connected that they need to move them around to get the one they want to use to work than have any potential crashes.
