[Steel Style]

I can't reproduce it on windows 7 professional.
But for the resizing windows (160 27) I think it's a normal windows 7 behaviour ( the app switcher, when you hold alt+tab, use to resize your window).

I tried to reproduce it on XP a few days ago... but then had to reboot XP after a few experiments because it did hang and I couldn't get out of fullscreen. So I had a problem - but don't know yet if it is the same one (and didn't time for further tests since then).

[hybrid]

Yep, I also had a hang instead of wrong resizing. But after a while the system catched up. Didn't get any insight with the debugger, though, as I had to kill it.

[Dareltibus]

Ok, i had the same problem. And solved it without the need to change anything in irrlicht. You can use my solution code while waiting for the bug being fixed.

Please some credits are not necessary but are wellcome if you use my code

Code: Select all

while(device->run())
   {
      u32 bugcatcher1; //ok i check it only if it is == 0. but is usefull have some more data capability
      if(device->isWindowActive())
      {
         if(!device->isWindowMinimized()) //temp bug fix by dareltibus :D. stop drawing if the window is not maximized
         {
            bugcatcher1=driver->beginScene(true, true, SColor(255,100,101,140));
            if(bugcatcher1)
            {
               smgr->drawAll();
               guienv->drawAll();

               bugcatcher1=driver->endScene();
               if(!bugcatcher1)
               {
                  device->drop(); //end scene failed
                  return bugcatcher1;  //debugger BREAKPOINT
               }
            }
            else
            {
               device->drop(); //begin scene failed
               return bugcatcher1; //debugger BREAKPOINT
            }
         }
         else
            device->yield(); //cpu usage down
      }
      else
         device->yield(); //cpu usage down
   }
   device->drop(); //all went rightly

   return 0; 

MORE BUG INFO:

The bug seems to be a failure on EndScene. I tried several ways with different configuration.

The bug appens Immediatly after the first "endScene" call when window is not maximized. I just avoided it by stopping calling drawings when window is not maximized.

I have Windows Vista and Radeon Mobility HD 4570 as video device.

//output:
---(start the device in fullscreen mode)
Resizing window (640 480)
---(pressing ALT TAB)
Resetting D3D8 device.
---(trying to draw something while the window is not maximized)
DIRECT3D8 device lost

WARNING BE AWARE OF SETTING BREAKING POINTS on one of these method
BeginScene
drawAll
EndScene

This will get VISUAL STUDIO to a big crash and need to restart your pc setting a break point in one of these method.

[CuteAlien]

Thanks for all the additional info!

[hybrid]

Hmm, sounds as if the reset failed. Probably some dx debugging needs to take place. Guess we missed some release somewhere.

[Mani2010]

Just got this, is it fixed in 1.7.2?

[Mani2010]

more info...

I have tried the fix suggested and it does not work for me.
The exception happens the first time the IrrDevice->run() is called on the IrrDevice.

i am using windows xp...
