Failed to initialize DirectX . . .
by Daniel Miller · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 11/09/2006 (10:56 am) · 3 replies
I just got the TSE and built it fine with VS2005, but when I run an example I get 'Failed to initialize DirectX 9'.
It also says something about Pixel Shader 1.1, which I'm sure my card supports.
I have the DirectX SDK for October 2006 and everything builds in order. I also have run FxComposer on my computer and had no signifigant problems; why isn't this working?
My other computer has had no problems, but my tablet is getting the error.
It's got an Intel 915 GM mobile gpu with the ability to run vertex and pixel shaders up to 2.0 and I've got a gig of ram. I downloaded the newest drivers just in case . . .
Here's the log . . .

I guess I was just hoping it had been previously remedied and never posted.
Er, perhaps I'm just being lazy. (*smiles*)
I found another thread:
(http://www.garagegames.com/mg/forums/result.thread.php?qt=19851)
This echoes the same problem on an ATI Radeon 9200 on the TSE demo itself.
Unfortunately, no solution was ever given and it seems to be the problem here as well.
Evidently, there's no prejudice for chipsets with this error, so it might be a limitation in the hardware.
The code runs effortlessly, but no go on the demo or any .exe to speak of.
Again, my main unit runs it fine so I'm not 'landlocked', so to speak.
It runs brilliantly; good job guys.
I need to solve this as I have to have a 'second opinion' unit.
"You should trace into the code and see where it's failing."
Ooooooof. You just took out a few brain cells on that one, guy.
Let's not get crazy here.
I have tons of homework to do, I just want to play with some lighting & shadows.

No, I agree; it's painfully vague.I guess I was just hoping it had been previously remedied and never posted.

It went away after building up a release version.
I am not an expert, so I can't explain what was wrong.

I had the same problem after the first compiling (debug) when I added the missing file to the project.(http://www.garagegames.com/mg/forums/result.thread.php?qt=53632).
