Ok I tried it but I'm not getting any error messages

Where would I find them?

It's strange, I start the game and if I go into skirmish it loads, come out to the concourse then go to the pilot proving ground again it loads

but if I close the game and restart the first try to go into the pilot proving ground, the loading screen appears and that's when it crashes with the following error

I just this got this from the event viewer

seems to be random I loaded a mission fine, it's exactly the same hangar and craft, come out of it to the concourse and try to load the pilot proving ground, it crashed, with a slightly different error

I only tested it when you released 1.3.9

Entered a mission it was fine, went back the concourse entered the PPG and it crashed, I have all the latest Hooks removed all the Effects stuff even the readme files lol, tried disabling Vsync, MultisamplingAntialiasing, AnisotropicFiltering still the same

You say "Entered a mission it was fine", does it mean that the text was drawn fine the first time you play a mission?

One thing to check:
Is "Platform Update for Windows 7" installed in your system?

Re: Direct3D 11 via DDraw.dll

Posted: Sat Apr 11, 2020 5:42 pm
by Darksaber
Yes, when it does load the text is fine, I've even test various fonts successfully, it's just the random crashes

Not sure if Platform Update for Windows 7 is installed I'll google it and download

Report back later

I tried uninstalling platform update, so I could reinstall it, but it just hangs, going to reboot and run sfc /scannow to see if there is anything wrong on my system

Or try a new install of XWA

Leave it for now scannow is going to take some time, I'll get back to you tomorrow, thanks for all the help so far :D

Rebooted and did the scan, it found and fixed a few problems

Same XWA setup as before

Tested again previous DDraw.dll still crashed

I'm not sure how you want me to report this

Used DDraw.cfg you provided

Step 1 - Void = Works fine in tour of duty mission and PPG
Step 2 - ComputeMetricsHook = Works fine in tour of duty mission and PPG
Step 3 - init Direct2D and DirectWrite factories = Works fine in tour of duty mission and PPG
Step 4 - On size changed = Works fine in tour of duty mission and PPG
Step 5 - Begin End Draw = Works fine in tour of duty mission and PPG
Step 6 - Compute scale = Works fine in tour of duty mission and PPG
Step 7 - Hello World - TextFormat = Works fine in tour of duty mission and PPG
Step 8 - Hello World - Brush = Works fine in tour of duty mission and PPG
Step 9 - Hello World - Draw = Works fine in tour of duty mission and PPG, Red Hello World text in top left hand corner when loading and in mission
Step 10 - RenderCharHook = Works fine in tour of duty mission and PPG, Red Hello World text in top left hand corner when loading and in mission, not text in hud element boxes
Step 11 - Text Formats = Works fine in tour of duty mission and PPG, not text in hud element boxes
Step 12 - Color Brush = Works fine in tour of duty mission and PPG, not text in hud element boxes
Step 13 - Select Text Format = Works fine in tour of duty mission and PPG, not text in hud element boxes
Step 14 - Draw Text = Works fine if you load tour of duty mission and then PPG including Verdana text, but if you load PPG first it crashes, tested this a few times, each time loading PPG first crashes, weird

This is the crash report same as before

Thanks for testing.

I think I can now see which line of code is bugged.
I will try to fix it.

Re: Direct3D 11 via DDraw.dll

Just testing on a fresh install

The other steps worked as before
Step 14 - Draw Text again was exactly the same result as previously

Hoping it's just a bugged line of code and not my system, I don't fancy scrubbing it and doing a reinstall of everything it takes sooooooooo loooooonnngggg lol

I will have to get a new PC at some point this year, (really don't want to move on to Win10 :( ) but this lockdowns put that on hold for a moment

Sorry Jeremy it crashed again :(

Works fine if you load tour of duty mission and then PPG, but if you load PPG first it crashes

Sorry about this it must be frustrating as hell :kopfwand:

If it is the d2d1 dll, then the game would crash the first time.
