[fixed for V0.36] Crash with editor & game open at same

Post by Gambit37 »

Oooh, weird! I ran RTC to compile my dungeon with those programs all open AND the RTC error window still on screen. RTC failed to set video mode and dumped the screen into 640x480x4 mode! generated this error:

Error:
an access violation exception.

Stack Dump:
RTCMediaGraphics.Create(int 640, int 480, int 24, bool TRUE);
RTC.RTC_Init();
RTC.WinMain();

Had to reboot. Useful?

The only way that that create function can crash is if DirectX fails to create the screen object for RTC to draw to. Sounds like a different symptom to the same root memory leak problem as reported on the other threads.
