Software d3d9 client not working on widnows 11

[jarmonik]

The D3D9on12 is now integrated to Open Orbiter. Also might be good idea to delete d3d9.dll from your /Modules/Server/ if it still exists there. Since, it doesn't receive windows updates on that location.

D3D9 loads and Orbiter is on H:, the faiures are on D: and Orbiter OVP!?
I don't know? but would suggest a re-install?

 

[OAStubby]

I use the version that does not require installation.
The paths D:\a\orbiter\orbiter\OVP\D3D9Client\*.cpp relate to the module sources.
I am moving the request to D3D9Client Development.

D3D9 loads and Orbiter is on H:, the faiures are on D: and Orbiter OVP!?

The "D:\a\orbiter\..." paths are where the source files where located when they were compiled, so not relevant to this issue.

The error shown is D3DXERR_INVALIDDATA, which a google search points to graphics card driver issue.
Maybe there is more info in the D3D9 log: "Modules\D3D9Client\D3D9ClientLog.html".

D3D9 Client Log attached (extension changed from html to txt).
The same configuration with the same graphics card and drivers in Windows 10 worked without any problems.

It seems W11 does not come with the DirectX9 libs, and that might be the cause of your issues... try to install this: https://www.microsoft.com/en-ie/download/details.aspx?id=8109

Thanks, it works now. With Windows 10, I just had to copy the D3DX9_43.dll file to the Modules\Server folder.
