Direct3D Crashing

Post by Blynx »

If I try to use Direct3D9 or Direct3D8, it crashes the program, can anyone help me fix that?

Your debugger should tell you exactly what is going on.

Sight unseen, I'll guess that you're using an Irrlicht DLL that doesn't have DX8/DX9 support compiled in (Win32-gcc), and you're not checking the return value of createDevice() before using it.
Please upload candidate patches to the tracker.

If you do a search for IrrDX, probably in the snippets or faq forums, then you'll find a thread which is constantly updated with the latest version of the irrlicht.dll with DX support compiled in.
