SFML - Access violation reading location when saving RenderTexture to image 0xC0000005

I'm using Visual Studio 2017. When debugging it points me to line 11 

texture.getTexture().copyToImage().saveToFile("C:/test.bmp");

with an error

Exception thrown at 0x54B06B9E (sfml-graphics-2.dll) in Project2.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0xCCE6C37F.

I want to save the texture to a .bmp file.

#include<iostream>
#include<SFML/Graphics.hpp>

int main()
{
    using namespace sf;
    RenderTexture texture;
    texture.create(800, 600);
    texture.display();
    texture.clear(Color::Black);
    texture.getTexture().copyToImage().saveToFile("C:/test.bmp");

    return 0;
}

EDIT

As far as we've detected it's the .saveToFile("C:/test.bmp") fragment that's causing the issue, the code works fine without it

SECOND EDIT

I got SFML packages manually, I include them from a set folder each time I'm making a new project and link the libraries, also added manually through external lib folder

THIRD EDIT

After some work I managed to fix the debug libraries and release libraries, now the code throws an exception

Run-Time Check Failure #2 - Stack around the variable 'texture' was corrupted.

A screenshot with the whole output and code: enter image description here

Another thing is, when I continue without handling the exception it throws at me this:

Unhandled exception at 0x00D26859 in Project2.exe: Stack cookie instrumentation code detected a stack-based buffer overrun.

Solution

  • I found an answer, the issue was that I wasn't using .dlls compiled for VS 2017, I was using those compiled for 2015 instead, switched them and it works like a charm
