[osg-users] Open Scene Graph 3.4.0 has bug when using two monitor setup

[Wojciech Lewandowski]

Hi Bruce,

Just from top of my head.

1. Check and verify if all osgXXX.dll and OpenThreads.dll are loaded from
correct installation directories. Similar errors often occur if
Debug/Release/Rev libs get mixed. VS Output pane displays all loaded DLLs
with long paths so its easy to verify if some lib was not picked from other
path.

2. Check if Call stack does not show some crashes in Nvidia OpenGL threads.
Sometimes errors there affect the other threads which invoked OpenGL calls.
Also check NVidia Control Panel. There is Multithreaded Optimization
setting (actual names may vary a little as I am using my localized language
version and cannot check them in English). Experiment with it. Perhaps one
of the options will fix the problem.

3. I checked the version of OSG I have installed on my machine currently
(OSG 3.4.0). osgViewer does not crash with cessna in dual screen
(Window10/GTX 1080 drivers 375.95). But it is 64 bit build. So your 32 bit
results may still vary.

Cheers,
Wojtek Lewandowski
