Hi there, hope someone can solve my problem, when I compile my code in release mode I dont get any graphics rendered?? No errors, just no graphics... TIA

something is wrong with your code.

pretty vague eh? well so is your question.

not trying to be vague,
Im using opengl, MSVC++, my libraries are in place
and linked. When I run the debug version it works fine,
in release I get no graphics.

Is there something that I could try to hunt down the problem?

What difference between debug and release could cause this?

Just looking for some guidance...

TIA

Are you using any macros that are only enabled during debug mode? (ie assert) I learned the hard way that if you put program-critical functions inside of these macros, they dissapear in release build - causing the program the fail horribly.

Make sure your data-files are in the release-folder as well! (i.e. textures etc)

The working folder for Debug and Release is the same, the project directory, so ignore that. Try this link:

what do you mean, the same?? when I make a game or demo, I put my files in e.g. /data, meaning: debug/data, since the .exe will be put in /debug, so when I comile as release, I have to copy my data-folder to /release, since the .exe will then be placed in the /release.

If you''re launching your program from Visual Studio (by pressing F5 or whatever) the working folder isn''t the Debug or Release folder, it''s the project folder.

If you''re just double clicking on your exe, then of course it is the same directory as the exe.
