Getting Direct 3D errors, tried everything I could think of (Blast, I THOUGHT I had it fixed)

from Demigod Forums

I've been trying to play demigod all day, but I keep getting "Deviced3d9.ccp" related errors

I've updated my video drivers and directx (updating directx has let me play more than 5 minutes where that was about how long I could play before updating it to the most recent verson) but I still get the errors (normally before being able to even finish a short single player game)

 

 

Most recent log file:

http://pastebin.com/m4dcc21d7

 

Dxdiag:

http://pastebin.com/m30143353

 

 

In addition to the "warning: c:\Work\forge\main\code\src\libs\gpggal\DeviceD3D9.cpp(966) Driver internal error" in that log, I've also gotten one where it said "device lost" though I don't have that log anymore

 

All in all it just ends up with my screen just going one color and being unable to alt-tab or ctrl-alt-del out of the game, meaning I have to hit the reset button, I'm at the end of my wits here

 

 

*Edit*

 

Ok, I think I fixed it after looking at one of the other directx related topics (sure, they pop up AFTER I finally decide to post mine)

 

I deleted my temp files folder at:

C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Temp

And then reinstalled the video drivers, I've been able to play a few long skirmish maps without the game freaking out again

 

Now the trick is to get the AI demigods to stand still long enough so that Rook can squish them with his hammer for the "Lets get hammered" acheivement... :grin:

 

*Edit AGAIN*

 

Well, turns out my problems aren't solved, its gone back to a mostly black screen and on the UI thats still visible it has black squares all over it (think giant pixels), I can't get a log of it since it forces me to hit the reset button (can't ctrl-alt-del out)

 

I'm sad again :'(

I'm still looking for help >_<

And I figure its in the DxDiag log, but I'm running dual Nvidia 9800 GTX video cards for my SLI, though I still get the error if I'm not running SLI

I just want to be able to play, I've been looking forward to this game since I first heard about it >_<

There's a new WHQL driver release as of April 2, give that a shot.

Scratch that, didn't have it fixed, getting a mainly black screen with a bit of the UI, but the UI has black squares (think big pixels) over it, this is after playing for a bit (wasn't able to finish one game)

 

For some reason it worked for a while, I didn't change anything since I thought I had it fixed...

 

I'm sad again :'(

I just started getting these crashes as of updating to the most upto drivers :S

I'm running 2x 8800 GTX.

This is annoying cos I updated the drivers to fix a problem with another program, which is fixed now incidently. I don't usually expect updating drivers to create problems!
