It looks like the function pointer for glGetString wasn’t loaded but how could that be? I’m using SDL to load the context and I need to use glGetString in order to even return what the highest OpenGL version is on the system.

The crash is inside the glGetString function itself, so its pointer was 
loaded properly. That function is trying to load data from a 
null-pointer though, so maybe the OpenGL context was not initialised 
properly yet.
