[2.1] "wglMakeCurrent failed" on Windows when creating a renderwindow.
Posted: Mon May 06, 2019 10:23 am
Ogre Version: 2.1
Operating System: Windows
Render System: OpenGL
A co-worker ran into this error when attempting to run my project on windows, additional difference is that it has an Nvida quadro card whereas I have been running on integrated intel graphics.
Since I have been developing and testing on linux I have never encountered this error before and I'm curious if someone knows whats causing it / how to fix it.
The error is:
The project starts by creating a dummy window which does nothing. Later one or more renderwindows are created which are placed in Qt widgets.
I mention this since I have had to mess around with contexts.
The initial dummy window uses currentGLContext = false, then all following windows use currentGLContext = true.
