DirectX Redraw After Running A7.07

DirectX Redraw After Running A7.07 - 01/23/08 18:57

If applications such as Wed, Med or any other programs that use Dx viewports
are open when the engine starts, they refuse to redraw or recreate their views
after exiting the engine. Even selecting "refresh views" or "recreate views"
does not seem to work.

I have A7.07 pro, Dx 9.0c, nvidia GeForce 7800 GS, winXP sp2.

I'm having the same problem. nVidia GeForce 7300GT 512MB.

Which GXL library are you using?

Same here, GXL2BASDX9A.DLL

Sometime the WED 3D view cannot to object texture. I need to reopen the level to restore the views.

I am using the latest nvidia driver.

I can't confirm this problem, but I'll forward it to Wladimir.

Does it happen with all projects, or only when some special content is visible in the views, or in the engine view, such as a model, or terrain?

I'm having the same problem and it happens with all projects for me.

Ok, one more question - does it only occur with GXL2BASDX9A.DLL or also with GXL2BASDX9.DLL?

I checked it with the trial version of A7 from internet. And there this problem occurs only with the 9A but not with the 9 DLL.

JCL,this happens when I start the engine from just SED, without WED ever have
been opened. I dont use wed for my current project. I thought it was just a SED
bug, so I tried WED and found the same behavior with it too. It seems to happen
when the engine closes, it does not release the DX device perhaps?

Thanks JCL.

Hardly. The problem is related to multiple DirectX devices opened by the GXL library. This does not work with all DirectX drivers. I've made it more clear in the manual.

"Libraries ending with ..A use the same DirectX device for all views; otherwise a separate DirectX device for any view is allocated. Note that some video drivers can't handle an ..A library when other programs, like the engine, open a DirectX device at the same time. In that case, use the other library."
