Irrlicht Engine

I used to use Irrlicht a long time ago and it worked perfectly with my currenty setup. I was going through the tutorials to refresh my memory and tried to run the Quake3 map program.

When I chose either of the DirectX driver's I got a message that it could not create the driver. My video card supports up to Direct X 9.0c and I have the run-times properly installed. All other programs that require Direct X work properly, but Irrlicht for some reason just won't even load it up.

Any solution? I already searched the forums and found no real answer to this, and no, it's not the .dlls problem.

I downloaded Irrlicht 1.1 and used it in the place for Irrlicht 1.2 for the files, and the Direct3D 8 and 9 works perfectly. Is it some problem with my files or Irrlicht itself? For now I'm just going to use 1.1 until the 1.2 problems are sorted out.

I had the same problem. I changed some settings to true in the create device, now directx works.

Code from my program:
device = createDevice(driverType, core::dimension2d<s32>(1024, 768), 32, true, true, true,&receiver );

I think it was a problem with the device creation concerning depth choice. It should be fixed with the latest SVN so should work in the next release.

been09, maybe you are using gcc compiler? there isnt directix support for gcc yet.

I use Visual Express, anyway, it really isn't an issue anymore since I'm sure the problem will be fixed soon enough. I don't really program enough to see the difference between 1.1 or 1.2, so it's a non-issue.
