"Render Texture Starfield" fails in IE 11 under WebGL

[pnstickne]

Demo on dev: http://examples.phaser.io/_site/view_full.html?d=display&f=render%20texture%20starfield.js&t=render%20texture%20starfield&phaser_version=dev&

There is a TypeMismatchError from gl.texImage2D(gl.TEXTURE_2D, 0, gl.RGBA, gl.RGBA, gl.UNSIGNED_BYTE, texture.source); in PIXI.WebGLRenderer.prototype.updateTexture.

This problem does not occur in CANVAS mode.

This bug is specific to the version of IE11 being used. In short it means you're using an older version of IE11 that doesn't support UNSIGNED_BYTE. This is fixed in the current public release of IE11.

There's no (known) clean way to detect this automatically, and it won't be done by Pixi either (pixijs/pixijs#1383) so I'm reluctantly closing this off.

Actually the above isn't correct. But I've since fixed it, so all is right in the world of IE again.
