HiCharles,
I doubt it. The only call the main loop makes to the graphics engine
is the Display() method that just redraws or refreshes the state of
the window once and a while. As I think this line of the code is the
one causing the crash I've removed it from the main loop. Since we are

needs fixing.

Hi Kevin,
Part of it could be do to your processor speed, but mostly it comes
down to the fact SFML uses an event driven keyboard input system.
There are two types of input systems. The first is the direct input
system used by DirectX and the second is the more common event driven
input system.

Hi,
I know at least one private tester has, but the rest haven't had it

tried to fix it earlier had i known it was a serious problem, but all

That's correct. The Hydra isn't in the demo, because it won't show up
