Unable to use some renderers

Hi.

When creating my new device, the only one which works is EDT_OPENGL, EDT_DIRECT3D9 and EDT_DIRECT3D8 both crash when trying to open my built .exe file - it should work and i know this is where the crash occurs.

I have dx8 and dx9 installed as I play all the latest games including source / crysis so both need dx9.

Please let me know - I think i remember at some point some error about the dll not having been compiled with support for them or somethign!? No idea.

Thanks in advance,

Andy

DX is not compiled into your Irrlicht.dll, to get one go to this thread and find the link to download the one for whichever version of Irrlicht you're using:

the svn version or the 1.4 release version ?

by the way... i think u said u are using eclipse with... i dun know what compiler... i dont know if there's a .dll file for that IDE/compiler, or if the other dll's works with it, maybe someone with more experience... or that has used that ide can tell u more about it.

Best regards
