Devil May Cry 4

Posted in Uncategorized on August 1st, 2008 by admin

This week i tried to play the DMC4 Demo and the first thing I saw after starting the game was a nice message box saying D3DERR_INVALIDCALL…. . Using Google I found out that several other players at the same or a similar problem, the most given advise was to update all driver and directx, but this didnt work for me. I had already given up but then I had a crazy idea, my monitor has a 1440×900 resultion and many games can render in it, so mostly my picture is a bit strechted because i cant use my native resultion, only some old games are able to query dx to find all support resultions and use them. Dont know what modern programmers are thinking, but please think about other monitors then the ones in you company before hardcoding monitor resultions in our game. DMC4 wins a price here, after setting my resultion in windows to 1024X768 DMC4 started without problems, I still dont know exactly what they did wrong, but I hope they go to hell for this bug :) .

By the way, if everything goes right this weekend i will upload a ingame video from a demo for my framework.
