Unplugging gamepad crashes the game

[naezith]

I have two gamepad issues for months and finally wanted to create an issue about it.

I play my game with gamepad, then I unplug it, wait around 10 seconds and then I press a key on keyboard. Game crashes and debugger is pointing processEvents function inside the pollEvent->popEvent.

Here is what debugger shows at the crash moment:

Edit: Lag is fixed by the last joystick update. I also don't get the crash anymore but one player still gets the crash.

SFML 2.4.2
gcc (x86_64-posix-seh-rev1, Built by MinGW-W64 project) 6.3.0

It's caused by (or in combination with) the Steam Overlay. You always have to check the top of your call stack first:

This might be hard to track down (and doesn't necessarily have to happen due to something SFML does).

As for lag/freezing, this might be related to #1179 and might be fixed with #1195, but it could be something different.

It should not be about Steam because I started using Steamworks API this month, I had these issues for a long time.

Then try getting a stack trace without Steam showing up in the middle. Maybe it's related but has a different origin. Any chance you're polling events outside the main thread or anything similar?

[naezith]

I will try to take the Steam out from there. Event polling runs on the main thread.

Updated SFML, joystick update fixed it.

A player reported today that it still crashes on unplug.

Also I found this on internet if it helps:

This must be a different issue then, so please open another issue. The one originally reported here has been fixed.
