tested on 2 installs with rtx 2070 super and 2080 super, driver 452.06 and no problems from my side.

But I use NVIDIA Geforce RTX 2070 and I get the error as you see above...

Update: It only happens with Attract Mode win64! The win32 Version is working. That's interesting cause I have win64.

Would you please provide a log of both 32 and 64 bit versions? You can run Attract Mode in debug mode by typing attract --loglevel debug in the console. I'm only interested in lines that start with NVAPI:

Win32 Version:

NvAPI: nvapi.dll loaded NvAPI: Initialize: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: CreateSession: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: LoadSettings: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: FindProfileByName: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: Threaded Optimizations OFF: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: Triple Buffering OFF: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: Prendered Frames set to 4: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: Maximum frames allowed set to 4: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: GPU Maximum Performance ON: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: Saving Nvidia profile: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: Closing Nvidia session: NVAPI_OK

Win64 Version:

NvAPI: nvapi64.dll loaded NvAPI: Initialize: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: CreateSession: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: LoadSettings: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: FindProfileByName: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: Threaded Optimizations OFF: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: Triple Buffering OFF: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: Prendered Frames set to 4: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: Maximum frames allowed set to 4: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: GPU Maximum Performance ON: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: Saving Nvidia profile: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: Closing Nvidia session: NVAPI_OK

Now its working also with the Win64 Version! I have no idea why... but thanks! ;-D

Most likely it's due to the nv profile was created by 32 bit app. I wonder if the situation repeats when you remove the nvidia profile for Attract Mode

Zzzzzap commented 4 years ago

how to remove the nvidia profile?

oomek commented 4 years ago

You can use Geforce Experience, Nvidia Inspector, or classic Nvidia control Panel. Attract should be in the list of game profiles.

I deleted it. And now Attract mode doesn't start anymore...

Win64 Version:

NvAPI: nvapi64.dll loaded

Win32 Version:

NvAPI: nvapi.dll loaded NvAPI: Initialize: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: CreateSession: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: LoadSettings: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: FindProfileByName: NVAPI_PROFILE_NOT_FOUND NvAPI: CreateProfile: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: CreateProfile: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: Threaded Optimizations OFF: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: Triple Buffering OFF: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: Prendered Frames set to 4: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: Maximum frames allowed set to 4: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: GPU Maximum Performance ON: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: Saving Nvidia profile: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: Closing Nvidia session: NVAPI_OK Nvidia GPU detected. Attract Mode profile was not found so it has been created. In order for the changes to take effect, please restart Attract Mode

After restart...

NvAPI: nvapi.dll loaded NvAPI: Initialize: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: CreateSession: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: LoadSettings: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: FindProfileByName: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: Threaded Optimizations OFF: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: Triple Buffering OFF: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: Prendered Frames set to 4: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: Maximum frames allowed set to 4: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: GPU Maximum Performance ON: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: Saving Nvidia profile: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: Closing Nvidia session: NVAPI_OK

After running the Win32 Version and then replacing it with the Win64 Version, it works again. Seems like you said, cause now there is a profile in the nvidia settings:

NvAPI: nvapi64.dll loaded NvAPI: Initialize: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: CreateSession: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: LoadSettings: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: FindProfileByName: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: Threaded Optimizations OFF: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: Triple Buffering OFF: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: Prendered Frames set to 4: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: Maximum frames allowed set to 4: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: GPU Maximum Performance ON: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: Saving Nvidia profile: NVAPI_OK NvAPI: Closing Nvidia session: NVAPI_OK

Thank you for confirming my suspicions, it was very helpful. I'm going to take a look at the nvapi initialization as soon as I get my hands on an nvidia card.
