GAME: Replaced graphics sometimes appear as black rectangles

Post by Gambit37 »

I've noticed that RTC doesn't always compile all my images correctly. It doesn't generate any errors, they just don't appear in the dungeon.

So far I've had wall graphics missing and a new door graphic that was displayed as plain black, when previously it had compiled fine. I recompiled and these errors went away. But they do crop up from time to time...

Not that it's much help to you but I've noticed that too!

I think what's happening is that DirectX is running out of virtual memory and not only failing to load the bitmaps; but also failing to report an error. I need to investigate the APIs a bit more to try to get to the bottom of it...
