| Game freezing, not working on Windows 10 |

So, I am a beginner in programming in Allegro 5, and programming in general, & I was supposed to make a quiz game for an event. I made a basic template quiz game with some questions, which I have attached. I made it using CodeBlocks on Windows 7, and I linked the libraries statically, following the procedure mentioned in this article: https://wiki.allegro.cc/index.php?title=Windows,_Code::Blocks_and_Allegro_5#Static_Link This runs on my other Windows 7 laptop without any problem, however, when I ran it on a friend's Windows 10 laptop, it froze the laptop, and the keyboard input wouldn't do anything. I tried to run it 5 times, and I got the same response. I need help getting the game to work on Windows 10, otherwise I can't use it. Please help me. I would also like those of you who have Windows 10, to kindly try and run the game and tell me what happens. Thank you |

Hmm, it seems to work fine for my Win10 VM. What Allegro version are you using? Also, the Direct3D backend appears to be a bit flaky on Win10, so perhaps trying OpenGL backend might help. This can be done either in the code via al_set_new_display_flags or by placing a configuration file next to your executable with these contents: [graphics] driver = opengl

Also try making sure your video drivers are up to date. Old (non win10, or pre-release) drivers on Win10 I hear are flaky. -- |

Turns out her drivers were not up to date, it works without any problem on Windows 10 now. I also set the OpenGL display flag as you said, though I am not feeling any difference. Thanks guys! |
