Problem Orbiter Crashing

[spaceman1970]

Hello,

I'm trying to install Orbiter2016 on my laptop. I installed from the normal download website, doing the http download with the ZIP installer. When I tried to run the orbiter.exe file, I got to the launchpad loading screen but then the system crashed. When I tried to run the orbiter_ng.exe, the command prompt popped up, but the actual application did not. I found a thread here https://www.orbiter-forum.com/threads/orbiter-keeps-crashing.41575/ that I followed. I am in full screen with the D9D3 Client downloaded and extracted into my Orbiter2016 folder. I also downloaded and extracted the OpenOrbiter file that was suggested in that same thread. I was able to get orbiter_ng.exe to open, but when I go to the Video tab and select D3D9Client as my graphics engine, there is no option for full screen screen resolution and when I try to run a scenario, the application just crashes. I also changed the "EnableDX12Wrapper" digit to 1, as was suggested in that thread. I have posted a screenshot of my Video tab as well as the log below. I would assume it's something with the D3D9Client. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

It appears the first "D" in "D3D9Client" has been replaced with a smiley face emoji. It wasn't like that when I posted it. Sorry about that.

 

[jarmonik]

Intel has dropped D3D9 support for Iris Xe Graphics chips, so, no more native DX9 there.
You cound try to Download DXVK (https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/releases) and copy *.dll files in the package (.tag.gz) to /Modules/Server/ that should bring Open Orbiter back to life. I don't know why the DX9 via DX12 fails. It's never been very reliable. Set the "EnableDX12Wrapper" back to "0" when trying DXVK.

probably not directly related, but OneDrive can mess with installs, so I would advise moving the Orbiter install off of the desktop, just to be safe.
