Unable to build the Global solution #13

Closed codeonwort closed 8 years ago

OS: Windows 10 (64 bit) IDE: Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition

I followed this instruction: https://github.com/xlgames-inc/XLE/wiki/CompilingFirstSteps

It's weird but touching nothing, just tried to build the solution second time and it succeed with no error.

Failure in D3D11 device construction. Aborting.

My desktop have Windows 10 SDK installed, don't know why this happens.

release version works well. I can see a boat rotating.
