Running windows 7-64 and when I try to initialize d3d, the program crashes.

Make a new project and set screen type to fullscreen. Using this code will crash, at least for me it does.

This is Cloggy's D3D plugin. Erm... this works fine for me. I swear baxslash had this problem awhile ago and his workaround was using fulldesktop (windowed, slower) instead of fullscreen exclusive.

Thanks Sasuke, I may have a look at it soon... I have heard about it before...

And yeah I was going to mention the Full Desktop > FullScreen thing but then got busy copying the code over lol

I think I've done that workaround before on my laptop, also running windows 7. I guess I may have to do that. Fortunately, performance isn't a huge factor in what I'm working on.

Just set my game to full screen exclusive for the first time in years...

Oh the gamma screen fading suddenly works. Forgot that feature existed, since it doesn't work in full-screen windowed mode.

There was no noticeable frame rate increase. I also notice that the nVidia SLI indicator did not appear under any setting what so ever at all. Decided to test SLI for the first time too. Aparently it's not DBP compatible.

SLI works for dedicated games...

Although there is a way to create a custom profile or something in the control panel... which enables some Interleaving... [But I heard it is slow(er)...]

I have enabled 32xAA once and weirdly enough my frame rate shot up like crazy... Aside from the screens LED boxes everything was so darn amooth... I miss having an SLI rig but they are still not fully utilised...

But I still have plans for a quad gpu rendering rig...
