kivy: Multisamples causing GL error

I created 2 .exe packages for windows according to the documentation. I used stable and dev version kivy. And I have a problem - stable version detects opengl version 2.1 and dev version - 1.1 log files stable

This worked for me

import os os.environ[‘KIVY_GL_BACKEND’] = ‘angle_sdl2’

from kivy import Config Config.set(‘graphics’, ‘multisamples’, ‘0’)

I want to clarify: from kivy import Config Config.set('graphics', 'multisamples', '0') Does not resolve my error.

However, import os os.environ['KIVY_GL_BACKEND'] = 'angle_sdl2' does. I’m not sure if this is the same or related issue.

import os os.environ[‘KIVY_GL_BACKEND’] = ‘angle_sdl2’ import kivy Adding this to the top of my script is the work around I’m using on windows 10, kivy 1.10.0, python 3.6.2.

I am also getting this misidentifying error.

I tried running the /share/kivy-examples/demo/showcase/main.py file and got that error.

It worked after I edited the main.py file and added the following two lines just after the rest of the import statements: from kivy import Config Config.set(‘graphics’, ‘multisamples’, ‘0’)

Thanks for the suggestion, dolang. I did uninstall Python Anaconda 3.6.4 and installed CPython 3.6.5 instead, but this did not solved the problem. But I finally found the solution thanks to a contribution on an Intel graphical card forum. The idea is to use Shims to solve a driver compatibility problem. See the end of the thread here for a description of the solution.
