[SO] irrlicht-0.9 precompiled examples crashing with directx

oconv · Post by **oconv** » Thu Mar 31, 2005 11:57 am

in irrlicht-0.9 the precompiled examples in /bin/VisualStudio are crashing with directx8 and directx9c. with opengl it'is ok.
in irrlicht-0.8 they run with all devices. so what was changed with directx in 0.9 compared to 0.8?

Wow, interesting. Can anybody confirm this? And oconv, could you try and find out where exactly they crash?

Hallo,

ich habe das selbe Problem, aber nicht nur bei den Beispielen, sondern auch wenn ich in einem selbstkompilierten Beispiel das DirectX8/9 Device ansprechen will... OpenGL funktioniert einwandfrei...

Ich benutze aber nicht Visual Studio sondern DevCpp...

P.S.: Einen etwas genaueren Fehler kann ich heute Abend posten.

kann ich bestätigen....

hab aber auch ne schrottige onboard graka mit 64 MB von intel....

@Dryas123:

stürzt eher nicht ab, sondern beendet sich beim starten einfach, right?
liegt daran, dass das mingw/devcpp-build kein D3D unterstützt!!!

was ich aber nicht ganz verstehe, da es modifizierte libs/includes für dx8 und dx9 gibt, welche mit mingw funktionieren.....
ob die 100% legal sind weiss ich auch nicht.....

that is exact what's happening.

ok, i could figure out the problem

and solve it...

too many open applications. looks like there was not enough grafic power left.
i had similar issues with self compiled levels in opengl mode. with too many apps open, the framerate dropped dramaticly.

me too, With DX9 the Demos always crash.

i know the slution and apply it to my Engine , and it wroks.

the problem is in D3D_SDK_VERSION of

pID3D = (*d3dCreate)(D3D_SDK_VERSION);

so change it to

pID3D = (*d3dCreate)(31);

thanks

Hm, interesting. What d3d sdk do you have installed? And where does the engine crash exactly? Inside that function?

i am using VC++ TOOLKIT 2003 and also DevC++.

so i use the Microsoft SDK and DirectX90c.DevPak.

but i test this with DevC++

it crashs when creating DX9 as i mentioned.

sorry i must be more clearly about Crashing.

when Engine tries to create DX9 by

pID3D = (*d3dCreate)(D3D_SDK_VERSION);

it always return zero, so pID3D will be 0.

it carshs when you try to use pID3D for calling.

thanks
