Post From: Open GL + Quadro Drivers later than 572.60 + Chart Trade Mode = chart black out glitches

Hold on ! I drew the wrong conclusions with my previous tests. Sorry about that.

I just did some more testing and I might have found what exactly trigger this bug.
It has nothing to do with "Use Compatible OpenGL Profile" activated or not.

To trigger the bug :
- OpenGL must be activated
- Sierrachart must be allowed to use multiple CPU PHYSICAL cores when the program is started.

With HyperThreading DEACTIVATED :
- If I use a script to force SierraChart to use only 1 core (core 0) : no bug at all. Never. Whatever "Use Compatible OpenGL Profile" is set to.
- If I use a script to force SierraChart to use more than 1 core (core 0 and 1 for example) : the bug happens 100% of the time.
- If I simply launch Sierrachart.exe without using a script (SierraChart is allowed to use all the cores) : the bug happens 100% of the time.

With HyperThreading ACTIVATED :
- If I use a script to force SierraChart to use only 1 logical core (core 0) : no bug at all. Never. Whatever "Use Compatible OpenGL Profile" is set to.
- If I use a script to force SierraChart to use only 2 logical cores from the same physical core (logical core 0 and 1 for example) : no bug at all. Never. Whatever "Use Compatible OpenGL Profile" is set to.
- If I use a script to force SierraChart to use only 2 logical cores from two different physical cores (logical core 0 and 2 for example) : the bug happens 100% of the time.

In summary, OpenGL is bugging when SierraChart is running on more than one physical CPU core at startup.
If I start Sierrachart with a script allowing only 1 physical core, but once launched, I modify the CPU affinity with Task Manager to allow more cores to be use, there is no bug.

Hopefully it will help.
