DevalVR support

Hi fiero,
I have an interesting bug (problem). When I activate the "compass" function and
I clic in the view, the player selected - jumping automatically from Direct X Hardware acceleration (default) to devalvr engine... and the png or bmp compass is going white . No problem in Open GL.
I guess the problem could be at the driver for my geforce 6200 graphic card, or?
System XP SP 3, Athlon 2400 Geforce 6200 graphic, direct x 9, the last nvidia drivers...
Tested on the same PC, but in Win 7 partition, no problems...

Any ideea ?...

Regards,
Emilban

Hi Emilban,

What is the size in pixels of the panorama?

Hi fiero,
its about 6000px x 3000 px

...and its happened allways with interface file (skin). Without skin, it's still
happened, but not regullary, and that's make me confused.

Can you show me the content of c:\debug.txt file when you open and close this player (without to load anything)? http://www.devalvr.com/fiero/playerUnicodeDebug.zip

00:00:00:030 Space Navigator initialization

I guess it looks like this...

The player jumps to software engine when free VRAM is 0, can you see if this value is very small when you open your content?

sorry, where can I see the vram value...

Click the (i) button in the player tools bar, the "View camera info" button.

oh, yes ...of course
So: the value in HWA - vram used: 25-27 MB
in devalvr vram used: 3,1- 3,0 MB and the compass is white...!

with interfacefile I canot see the informations...(i), but here its still jumping....

what is the value of VRAM used and VRAM free (HW) before to jump to software?

well, its strange (for me)...
in HWA - vram used: 31,3 vram free: 94,7 (zoom set 0.4)

when I load it again with zoom set 0,3 it starts with
devalvr engine vram 3.1 vram free: 0,0 compass white (bad)
by setting manual back to hwa it shows:
vram used 44,5 vram free 81,5 compass ok
and the most strange is ...it works ok a few minutes.

could it be a particulary case just for my PC configurations (wrong setting
in win xp, some bad videocodecs ), because as I said, on the same PC, with the
same hardware but in a win 7 partition works fine....
I ve send the script to other user, and it also works fine, on xp, vista...
