SFML examples crash
« on: August 30, 2016, 04:43:05 pm »
I have a tablet PC with Windows 10 (Acer Iconia Tab W511). Every SFML example that uses OpenGL crashes after start. All needed folders are set in system path and examples run on other computers. Could you help me fix this problem?

What GPU do you have? What driver version have you installed for it? Is there any output on the console?

I have Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (which is actually PowerVR SGX545 - http://www.notebookcheck.net/Imagination-PowerVR-SGX545.97605.0.html) and the latest available driver for it. It seems that there is a problem with driver OpenGL implementation and SFML uses something that is broken, but in Intel they say that there will be no updates for this driver.

For SFML examples there is no any output in console. win32.exe draws two grey rectangles in a window and crashes, opengl.exe creates a white window and crashes. If I try to compile my own programs they compile without errors but crash on window creation.

I have tried SDL 2.0 and it works well - at least I can create a window and destroy it without crashes. But I also want to try SFML. I can perform any diagnostic tests if you need.
