InitEngine3D() on Samsung ATIV with Win 8 and Intel Atom

[Brandon Parker]

Has anyone else experienced any issues with InitEngine3D() using similar architecture to what's in the subject?

I recently bought a Samsung ATIV tablet and InitEngine3D() is failing when called. I have checked to ensure the DirectX DLL's are present. I know PB uses 9 and I verified that 9-11 are all present on the system. I have also verified that the OpenGL examples work as well as verifying (using another language) that DirectX does in fact work on the system.

Anyone know why PB would fail to load it on this system?

Thanks!!

It could be Windows Defender stopping the process. Add everything PB to Defender's safe list.

I tried completely disabling Windows Defender and it's still not working. It's not like the process is halted; the InitEngine3D() function just fails to initialize.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Any more?

Try using InitEngine3D(#PB_Engine3D_DebugLog). It should create a file named Ogre in your current directory.
You can open it with notepad or something similar.
If you get the file. Look at the sections with D3D9 and make sure there aren't any errors.
You can also post the Ogre file here and we can take a look at it for you.

Also what kind of GPU do you have? It's possible it has some compatiblity issues with DirectX9.0c.

I wonder if the cause is a missing dependency file. The majority of us will have installed PB5.21 on machines that have already been using PB, whereas it sounds as though yours has PB5.21 as the first-ever PB install. A long shot, try installing PB 5.11, then re-installing 5.21. Also, make sure your User has full Windows Admin rights.

make sure you have DX 9.0c installed. That is the minimum PB supports. If you check the PureBasic manual for InitEngine3D() and read the remarks section. it has the link to go to the Microsoft site for the DirectX runtime installer (which is the web updater for DX9.0c).

Looks like you don't have the right version of DirectX9.
Here's the link to the required version.

Let us know if you still have problems after this.

[Brandon Parker]

Yup, I've attempted that download several times over the past day, but it always fails with the following message.

A cabinet file necessary for installation cannot be trusted. Please verify Cryptographic Services are enabled and the cabinet file certificate is valid.

I guess I'll try an copy it over from one of my other PC's.

Thanks!!

I did some looking around and I think you need Cryptographic Services to be set to automatic.
Here's how to set the Cryptographic Services to Automatic.

1. Start the Administrative Tools utility in Control Panel.
2. Double-click Services.
3. Right-click Cryptographic Services, and then click Properties.
4. Click Automatic for Startup type, and then click Start.

Then try installing it again.

Edit:
Here's the link to the info I found.

It was under manual method 1.

Samuel,

Thanks for looking everything up. All that is already set up, but I managed to copy the DLL over and it seems to be working correctly.

Thanks again to everyone!!
