[Fixed] Direct3D9 error got me stumped

by Joshua Leeming · in Torque 3D Professional · 12/05/2012 (11:57 pm) · 3 replies

Hi all,

I'm currently trying to track down an issue whereby I get:

Direct3D9: (ERROR) :Lock is not supported for textures allocated with POOL_DEFAULT unless they are marked D3DUSAGE_DYNAMIC.

It's not occurring when I use the executable in the full or empty templates, and I can use it to run the afx demo no problems.

However it occurs when I use it as part of another project I'm working on, and only when I get Cur. D3DDevice ref count=2 instead of ref=1 (which is every time for this project)

Throwing it out to the community hoping for any ideas

Attempting to create GFX device: NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M (D3D9)
Device created, setting adapter and enumerating modes
   Cur. D3DDevice ref count=2

All projects pick up the same devices:

GFX Init:
   Direct 3D (version 9.x) device found
   Direct 3D (version 9.x) device found
   Direct 3D (version 9.x) device found
   Null device found

EDIT: After numerous other 'oddities' with my machine such as skype crashing whenever I received video, I did a full refresh - problem has resolved itself.

Are you creating 2 rendering devices on purpose? It sounds like you maybe getting an error because of that. I know the docs say if you create 2 devices from a single DX object that you can get extreme performance issues so maybe it can cause other issues too.

Hi Tim, not on purpose no which is the frustrating part.

I only have the one call to createCanvas in this project:

function createCanvas()
{
   // Don't duplicate the canvas.
   if(isObject(Canvas))
   {
      error("Cannot instantiate more than one canvas!");
      return;
   }     
   return new GuiCanvas(Canvas);
}

Maybe I could put a check/assert into the code somewhere

Yeah I would try debugging the C++ function that creates the device and see if why it's being called twice.
