How's the DxDiag.txt results now?

Any warnings about the DirectX debug version?

If it's ok, then you could try running DirectX SDK Control Panel (through start menu\Microsoft DirectX SDK\DirectX Control Panel)
please enable:
-DirectX Debug version
-Debug Output Level to highest level
-and all the options on the right (like on the screen attached)
-hit Apply button

Then please launch Visual Studio,
Select any tutorial that starts too long (with no APP_NO_FX)
and press Start Debuging,
now with Debug DirectX watch your output window, as DirectX will show there multiple messages.
I'm hoping that it will show some errors when loading shaders.

Loading shaders occurs between InitPre() and Init() engine functions

Hi;

I have make the test, but how many time must wait ?

10 minutes after "Start debugging" , it's allways a black screen.

regards

Hello,

if you're tutorial is running in fullscreen D.full(true) change it to D.full(false) so you'll see Visual Studio window,
after pressing Start Debugging check the Output Window of Visual Studio, let me know if there are some Direct3D messages.

Ok work the result

"Direct3D9: (WARN) :Ignoring redundant SetRenderState " - These messages are unimportant.

I'll check this - "Direct3D9: (INFO) :Failed to create driver indexbuffer"

Are there any other messages?

Thanks, there are some weird things but it seems that they all happen after the shader loading.

So I don't think they're affecting startup time.

I have one idea, but I'll need to finish implementing it, I'll post here when it's done.

I'll upload soon a new engine version with some small changes, it's updated to work with DirectX November 2008 SDK
If you don't want to download the whole package from Microsoft (500MB) you can download only important files from here <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.esenthel.com/download/dx_nov_2008/">http://www.esenthel.com/download/dx_nov_2008/</a><!-- m -->

I test now..
(no problem for donwload big file, I have 2 x 2 Gbit ...)

Oh ok, then you could download the whole package from microsoft <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=5493F76A-6D37-478D-BA17-28B1CCA4865A&displaylang=en">http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... laylang=en</a><!-- m -->
which will enable debug ouput testing.
The new DirectX will be needed for the new engine version soon.

No problem it's allready donwloaded...

I'm wait with impatience your new core.

does the <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.wormhole-the-game.com/MessageLOG.txt">http://www.wormhole-the-game.com/MessageLOG.txt</a><!-- m --> file come from a tutorial with APP_NO_FX flag enabled or disabled?
I'm uploading the new version right now

with APP_NO_FX flag enabled

App.flag=APP_NO_FX;

You wan't the same with App.flag=APP_FULL_TOGGLE; ????

regards

yes please, please create a log from App.flag without APP_NO_FX (the setting where slow down occurs)

"App.flag=APP_FULL_TOGGLE;" should be ok
