SFML sf::RenderWindow::createWindow() crashes program - crash

Question

So I've been learning C++ and I've been trying to learn some SFML 2 via some videos. At first I had no real issues, I was using MS VS2012 and everything was fine. I start using MS VS2015 Community and it all starts going wrong and I've got no idea why!
Main problem:
Everything compiles, but it just crashes when I try to use sf::RenderWindow::createWindow()
Error Message:
I get the message "SFML_Project.exe is no longer working",
I go to debug it and it gives me the following message:
Unhandled exception thrown: read access violation.
this->_Ptr was 0xCCCCCCCC.
If there is a handler for this exception, the program may be safely continued.
and it does it on this function (some SFML code I know nothing about)
const facet *_Getfacet(size_t _Id) const
{ // look up a facet in locale object
const facet *_Facptr = _Id < _Ptr->_Facetcount
? _Ptr->_Facetvec[_Id] : 0; // null if id off end <- ON THIS LINE OF CODE IT BREAKS
if (_Facptr != 0 || !_Ptr->_Xparent)
return (_Facptr); // found facet or not transparent
else
{ // look in current locale
locale::_Locimp *_Ptr = _Getgloballocale();
return (_Id < _Ptr->_Facetcount
? _Ptr->_Facetvec[_Id] // get from current locale
: 0); // no entry in current locale
}
}
Line of info that was given at the Call Stack
sfml-system-d-2.dll!std::locale::_Getfacet(unsigned int _Id) Line 451 C++
My Code:
#include <iostream>
#include "SFML\Graphics.hpp"
int main()
{
sf::RenderWindow window;
window.create(sf::VideoMode(800, 800), "WindowName");
sf::Texture texture;
sf::Sprite sprite;
texture.loadFromFile("Player.png");
sprite.setTexture(texture);
sf::Event eventHandler;
while(window.isOpen())
{
while(window.pollEvent(eventHandler))
{
switch(eventHandler.type)
{
case sf::Event::Closed:
window.close();
break;
}
}
window.clear();
window.draw(sprite);
window.display();
}
}

What I've tried:
I've tried turning all the dependencies from sfml-XX-d.lib to sfml-XX.lib files, which does allow me to create a window and draw shapes to that window, but then when I try to use sf::Texture::loadFromFile("filename") the console command window turns into the matrix and starts beeping.

Answer 1

It might be because you link the window lib before the graphics lib.
Try to move up the window lib under the graphics lib.
sfml-graphics-d.lib
sfml-window-d.lib
sfml-system-d.lib
If it's still crashing, it may because your sfml's dlls does not match the current sfml version that you have. Happened to me once, I downloaded a new version of sfml without updating the binaries.
