alacritty: LoadLibrary failed with error 87: The parameter is incorrect

This is what I get when I try to run Alacritty on windows from remote desktop in Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17763.195]

I can try running in actual machine on windows on Monday and see if I still have the issue.

On Windows 10: If running this app over a remote desktop and you have an AMD/ATI card, simply disable the real graphics card in Device Manager and restart the application (not the computer).

Real adapter will be disabled for the on site user as well. User can still log in, but experience will be limited.

@akovac35 https://github.com/akovac35 the question now is: whether disabling the real adapter prevent any on-site user from logging in and using the desktop or will the real adapter be enabled in the absence of the (Microsoft) remote one.

Do you have any info on this?

I don’t think this is an issue with alacritty. I get the same error when using aminal remote desktop. It is another cross platform terminal emulator written in go with opengl. https://github.com/liamg/aminal/releases/tag/Nightly-2019-02-16-0ac4484

My guess based on the fact we don’t get far into initialisation and some googling (1) is that this is an issue with the GL context initialisation.

Might be worth trying to run one of the glutin examples.

Could you try 0.2.3 and run from another terminal with -vvv?
