Error creating first game or basic scene in Xenko #516

Open Balachandra-V opened 7 years ago

Balachandra-V commented 7 years ago

Hi,

VERSION 1.9.3 Beta

I just installed xenko. and i tried to create a new project. but xenko crashes when i do that. it shows an exception "an unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in SiliconStudio.Core.dll Additional information: No screen modes found".

it happens for both "basic scene" project and "game" project

any idea why this is happening and how to fix it ?

Thanks in advance Bal

Thanks for the report and sorry to hear you have issue using Xenko. Can you tell us a bit more about your configuration (OS version, CPU, RAM, graphic card vendor and name)?

Balachandra-V commented 7 years ago

Thanks for your response.

OS = Windows 8.1 basic 64 bit CPU = Intel Core 2 Duo T6670 @ 2.20 Ghz Graphics card = Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.1) RAM = 4.00 GB

Thanks in advance Bal

According to this Intel documentation your integrated graphic processor only support up to DirectX 9. Unfortunately DirectX 10+ (11 recommended) is required for the Game Studio.

Thanks for that,

Can you tell me which version of Xenko uses DirectX 9 ? so that I can try development using that version. Also I saw this post (https://forums.xenko.com/t/directx-and-system-requirements/791) which says that one can choose in a dialogue box the DirectX version as far as DirectX 9 when creating a Game project. I dont see any such dialogue box. can you tell me how to do this ?

Thanks in advance Bal

You still need DirectX 10+ to use the GameStudio (as stated in the requirements section in our download page, and more recently in our documentation). What was mentioned in the forum thread is about the targeted graphic profile that will be used by the game. Without a DirectX 10 capable card you will not be able to use the Game Studio (whichever version of Xenko you use).
