EGL_BAD_CONFIG on few devices

cocos2d-x
#1

Hi guys! I’ve got this problem - I’ve written very simple game and it works all good on iOS, but when I compiled it for android it does not launch on simulator and for example physical device Huawei P7 Lite with Android 5. When I tried to launch it on Samsung Grand Prime, S5, few LGs, S7 and Huawei P9 it works all good, but in simulator and few devices it does not.

Compiled for SDK 16 with NDK 14 armeabi-v7a. Cocos2dx straight from github.

This error comes up:

@slackmoehrle can you please look at this?

Thanks.

Guys :slight_smile: Could you please use official stable releases? :slight_smile:

if we want to get this work on v3.15 the editing needs to be done in the Cocos2dx activity class, when I replaced its contents with version from 3.14.1 it worked, but then the problems with shaders occured so I think it won’t be so easy.

#5

in Cocos2dxActivity.java replace this function

public EGLContext createContext(
EGL10 egl, EGLDisplay display, EGLConfig eglConfig) {

        // create GL ES 3 context first,
        // if failed, then try to create GL ES 2 context

        /*
        int[] attributes = {EGL_CONTEXT_CLIENT_VERSION, 3, EGL10.EGL_NONE };
        // attempt to create a OpenGL ES 3.0 context
        EGLContext context = egl.eglCreateContext(
            display, eglConfig, EGL10.EGL_NO_CONTEXT, attributes);

        if (context == null) {
        */
            int[] attributes = new int[] {EGL_CONTEXT_CLIENT_VERSION, 2, EGL10.EGL_NONE };
            EGLContext context = egl.eglCreateContext(
                display, eglConfig, EGL10.EGL_NO_CONTEXT, attributes);
        //}

        return context;
    }

It will work now but the eagl3.0 will be desabled. For me i needed a quick fix to send a build to the graphic artis. I’ll come back and investigate this problem.
For a start, the createContext returns a valid pointer for EAGL 3.0 but will crash later. The function is not marked to throw an exception, this could be a fix.

I created a new thread for this issue.
