Asheron's Call 2 DirectX Crash with latest dev build.

I cannot launch AC2 with ISBoxer in any way with the development build. Im currently getting a "Could not initialize Direct3d. Please ensure that DirectX 8.1 or higher is installed." I can actually play the game just fine normally.

On the current non developer build the game would work. I was just having a lot of problems sending keys to other windows when trying to send multiple commands at the same time that prompted me to use the developers build.


Im on Windows 7 Home, 64 bit.
16 gigs of ram.
GTX 560 Ti nvidia card.

DX diag if your interested. http://www.privatepaste.com/e2ded98f04

Anything else you need that might help?

Working fine here.

DxDiag doesn't typically have much of use to me because -- as you're describing now -- the game usually works fine without Inner Space. What I usually need instead is "Diagnostics for game crashes" from ISBoxer's Help menu, which should point out other things loaded on your PC and in the game process that could potentially be breaking IS.

Ok, so I launch the game using ISboxer, then ran the diagnostics on the crashed ac2 client resulting in...

Okay. Get me "Diagnostics for game freezes" instead, from the ac2client when it is at that box. This will generate a small file instead, e-mail that to lax@lavishsoft.com

Ok done. Do you have any idea how hard that is to do with a VNC client from my cell The DXDiag error windows in the way the whole time, finally figured out how to move it though.

Thanks, I will have to review this later today and see what I can find out.

Im one of those lucky people stuck at work on a holiday. But because im the only person here I get to at least play. I just wanted to tell you lax that I get the same direct x problem on my laptop that I was getting on my desktop with the development build. Release build does work, although it does have some of the resolution bugs that were reported in another thread.

Thanks for your help!

I'm not saying work is preferable...

But I'm one of those lucky people who lives in the upstairs portion of a house.
Where the owner has opted to have the roof shingles redone.
And while the order was placed a month ago...

They choose 7:30 this morning to begin hammering away and ripping stuff up.

I am also getting the following error when trying to launch an AC2 client via isboxer (using development patches). I have no problems launching multiple clients without isboxer.

"Could not initialize Direct3D. Please ensure that DirectX 8.1 or higher is installed."

Alright since I am back on the Dev build to try and run E@B I tried out a few things to get this to work. Turns out my windowed AC2 clients will induce the crash. If the AC2 clients are set to full screen and my current monitors maximum resolution they operate just fine. Play around with that some to see what you get.

Im just running 2 clients right now. But so far for soloing up to 22 its been fantastic as a defender and enchanter. I cant wait to actually have gossamer flesh
