Small max texture size on a fairly modern system

[miki151]

A user has reported a problem:

Failed to create texture, it's internal size is too high (2048x2048, maximum is 1024x1024)

His system is actually pretty modern, it seems weird that it can't load bigger textures. Any chance this is actually some kind of bug?

The user is probably running on the Microsoft OpenGL implementation. See this.

This already looks fishy. Probably a dual graphics setup, on a laptop. Update the driver(s) if possible, and/or make sure that the discrete GPU is selected/activated when running the application. OpenGL applications don't enjoy the same level of automation as DirectX applications do when it comes to selecting which GPU to run on, just a fact of life.
