IMA on SpriteQuality()

Post by Grunz »

One of our users reported this crash:

Error message: Invalid memory access
Error location: procs_graphics.pbi (line 69)

this line is:

Code: Select all

SpriteQuality(#PB_Sprite_BilinearFiltering)
System info:
Microsoft Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600)
Compaq Deskpro EP/SB Series
Intel Pentium II, MMX, ~350 MHz
128 MB RAM
Page File ~500 MB (total available goes as much as 1 GB)
DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)

I guess, the antique CPU might be the problem here.

A antique graphiccard should be more a problem for graphic-stuff. :wink:
Which graphiccard is used? Is the card fully DX9.0c compatible?
Do you / or the user has checked if the latest DirectX9.0c is installed?
Maybe just re-installing DirectX9.0c is the easiest option to "check" that. :)

You can`t reinstall DirectX 9.0c. Don`t make same stupid thing I did with a try to reinstall directx...

Could you post a small snippet with this issue? Perhaps it could be an issue, bilinear filtering isn`t that new thing...

DirectX 9 Web Setup updates DX9.

The Pentium II 350 MHz "Deschutes" is from 1998, so it is 16 years old.

The graphics card may have the same age. Just raise the minimum system requirements for the program a little bit... ;)

I`ve read 3,5Ghz... Why you have such an old thing?

DirectX 9.0c installer will stop installing (before anything was installed) if DirectX 9.0c is already installed. If you remove Directx, you cannot install DirectX 9.0c one time more.

Ah sorry, i wouldn't suspected that it is possible to uninstall DirectX. :mrgreen:
With "re-installing" i meant just starting the web-setup as Danilo mentioned
to start the setup-process again, even it is already finished. It will just check,
if there is a newer version available and installs that, so .. it is more updating.
But as it is the same process that is making the update, i feel more like re-installing. :lol:

This system is definitely too old for modern graphics.
