OK. Well everybody I have helped to resolve this by rebuilding using -opengl 
desktop has reported back that it is working. I also use this build 
configuration myself without issue.

This is of course a catch-22, if we don't provide such binaries people have no 
option to test them other than self-building. If there's anything I can do to 
help just let me know.

Cheers,

Sean
