DirectX11 not working #17

Closed ghost closed 9 years ago

ghost commented 9 years ago

Myself and r_populik cannot get the R4 renderer to function properly. For both of us, promptly on game start it shows an error box saying my video card doesn't meet game requirements.

Neither of us are using modified shaders, as I know that is what normally causes that particular error.

The code in question is identical the code in your working branch.

Sorry, don't have crystal ball to see what's wrong with your setup... Need more information

ghost commented 9 years ago

Sorry, I didn't mean to frustrate you.

My setup is GTX 970 Intel i5-2500k 8gb RAM Windows 8.1 64-bit

I believe r_populik's is basically the same, but with a newer processor and Windows 7.

What I should have stated is can you quickly check to see if DX11 works for you. If it does then I know it's a problem on my end and I'll go about fixing it on my own rather than bothering you with it,

avoitishin commented 9 years ago

I can run latest build on DX11 with no issues so its probably something's wrong with your system. Was there any log created?

ghost commented 9 years ago

I didn't think there would be but I just discovered this at the end of the log:

I'm going to re-download the repo and see if I get the same error when I make the DX11 dll.

Try to rename your objects folder to something else and restart the game

ghost commented 9 years ago

Unfortunately that didn't work.

With this codebase I am supposed to compile the source with the dxguid.lib from the Windows SDK, right?

avoitishin commented 9 years ago

That's what @nitrocaster recommended. I personally never had any issues and only replaced it with Windows SDK version when moved to new HD.

P.S> I mostly play on DX11

ghost commented 9 years ago

Okay, problem solved. The default Directx sdk directly that VS2013 was looking for was not the June 2010 one for some reason. Although it works fine in DX9-10 with whatever SDK it was using before, without 2010 it has issues in DX11. Manually pointing to the DirectX SDK directory I wanted to use solved the problem (I have 3 different DirectX SDK's installed).

BeaconDev commented 9 years ago

This is the same error I've been having, does it mean it's solved in the latest bins?

nitrocaster commented 9 years ago

It was fixed with this patch. If same problem occur to you with current working branch, that means you use wrong dxguid.lib. See build.txt.

BeaconDev commented 9 years ago

Ok, it may just be because I have really outdated bins, but it's weird because I swear it worked on DX11 before. Maybe I was using DX10, I don't know.
