I can not confirm this one. As I have recompiled the stronghold build about 15 times now without any issues. Its also the bases for our game so I know its working just fine.

Thats compiled with VS 2008 Express

I didn't say that the compilyng din't work.

I did compile fine - but to run the game would show the same effect as posted in this thread:

Are you attempting to run it at full screen, in your native resolution?

Don't know

Right from start of the game I will get the effect which was descibed here:

http://www.garagegames.com/mg/forums/result.thread.php?qt=73232

I could paste the complete log here because the line

GFXD3D9Device::beginScene - Device needs to be reset, resetting device...

is shown at the end of the log (more often as it is shown here).


Forgot to mention that I am running Windows XP (german)

Try running the DeletePref.bat file and then starting up the example. If its just a miss set resolution then that should fix it by setting it back to the default 800x600 (Thats as long as your desktop resolution is not 800x600 )

Yes, that helped. I even could change the resolution to my desktop resolution (1680 x 1050)

Will try to compile the other examples I had also problems with.

thanks!
