Hello there.

I am encountering a weird problem with Processing on Windows.

When running this code:

```auto
void setup() {
    size(500, 500, P2D);
}

```

I get the following error:

```auto
Error loading EGL entry points.

```

I have tried this on several versions, the oldest being _3.2.4_, the latest being _4.0a2_.  
I have tried to analyze this _‘C:\Program Files\processing-3.5.4\hs\_err\_pid8956.log’_-file, but also couldn’t find anything.

Then I installed processing-3.5.4 on my ubuntu-vm, here everything works fine! (Go Linux!)  
EDIT: I now have tried to do the same stuff with my manjaro-vm (my main linux vm). Here, I get the same results as with Windows. Upon further testing with ubuntu, I realized whenever I start a P2D/P3D sketch, this warning gets printed to console:

```auto
libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate
OpenGL error 1280 at bot beginDraw(): invalid enumerant

```

I have read that this error might be due to a graphics driver, so I uninstalled my current driver (latest: 461.09) and uninstalled the oldest I could find on [Official GeForce Drivers | NVIDIA](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/drivers/) (456.71). Sadly, same results.

Then I read here ([P2D P3D not working in processing - #25 by Ruchi](https://discourse.processing.org/t/p2d-p3d-not-working-in-processing/15108/25)), that the error might appear due to Anti-Virus-Software and Windows Firewall. Therefore, I uninstalled my Anti-Virus-Software (Kaspersky), disabled Windows Defender and Windows Firewall. Same results.

I checked with the **Intel Driver @ Support Assistant** -Tool, that all my other drivers all also Up-to-date. My Windows is also Up-to-date.

**This is my system (Laptop):**  
i7-7700HQ  
GTX1060 + Intel HD Graphics 630  
Memory 16GB  
Windows 10 Home 64-Bit 10.0.19042 Build 19042  
Motherboard P65 - BIOS FB0E

My system has OpenGL version 4.6.0 - Build 27.20.100.9126 installed. This comes from OpenGL Extensions Viewer. It also claims my driver version is Intel Graphics Drivers 27.20.100.9126. (Nvidia GPU not listed).  
EDIT: I set my preferred graphics processor in Nvidia Control Panel to the Nvidia one. OpenGL Extensions Viewer now detects my Nvidia GPU as the renderer, but no changes with my processing problem.

I myself use Java 15, but since Processing ships with its own Java 8, I hardly believe that this is the problem.  
EDIT: Just to make sure, I have uninstalled Java 15 and checked Processing again. Problem still there.

The last time I really used Processing was about a year ago. Sadly, I do not remember what exact version I was using, I just remember it to be Processing 3. Back then, everything was working great. P2D and P3D code, which worked back then, now doesn’t work anymore.

Everything not using P2D or P3D is working fine. The deprecated OPENGL tag (instead of P2D, P3D, or JAVA2D), also doesn’t work.

I have absolutely no clue what is going wrong.

Hi!

I have a similar problem on Linux with Intel Graphics ☹

Try adding this at the start of your sketch:

```auto
void settings() {
System.setProperty("jogl.disable.openglcore", "true");
size(400, 400, P2D);
}

```

Sadly that doesn’t do anything. The JVM doesn’t even start. I believe it is due to opengl, as you suspect, but your code doen’t even execute, because no JVM 😢
