OpenGL error 1281 or 1282

[Pathoschild]

Some users report MonoGameGLException: GL.GetError() returned 1281 or 1282 errors when mods edit textures. This is relatively rare but there's no known fix, so this ticket tracks the known info,

OpenGL error descriptions for 1281 (0x0501) and 1282 (0x0502):

GL_INVALID_VALUE, 0x0501
Given when a value parameter is not a legal value for that function. This is only given for local problems; if the spec allows the value in certain circumstances, where other parameters or state dictate those circumstances, then GL_INVALID_OPERATION is the result instead.

GL_INVALID_OPERATION, 0x0502
Given when the set of state for a command is not legal for the parameters given to that command. It is also given for commands where combinations of parameters define what the legal parameters are.

Known patterns

Error 1281

• Most players never see this error.
• Affected users generally see the error every time they play, but it can affect different mods or textures each time.
• Affected textures are shown as black blocks in-game.
• This portion of the stack trace seems to be consistent for all such errors:

  at Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.GraphicsExtensions.CheckGLError()
  at Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.Texture2D.<PlatformSetData>c__AnonStorey1`1.<>m__0()
  at Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Threading.BlockOnUIThread(Action action)
  at Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.Texture2D.SetData[T](Int32 level, Int32 arraySlice, Nullable`1 rect, T[] data, Int32 startIndex, Int32 elementCount)
  at StardewModdingAPI.Framework.Content.AssetDataForImage.PatchImage_PatchedBy<Platonymous.PyTK>(Object source, Texture2D sourceArea, Nullable`1 targetArea, Nullable`1 patchMode, PatchMode )
  

Error 1282

This is possibly related to 1281, but not enough reports yet to see patterns.

It'd be valuable to get information on system hardware, especially given that this remains seemingly consistent for all affected users.
