Subject: New Machine, New Install, DirectX issues are back after a brief hiatus...
It's been running well for weeks now. Suddenly, this week, I can't tab out from Fullscreen mode, or change resolution or mode ingame. I can disable Decal, set to Windowed mode, enable Decal (with or without plugins enabled), and then tab about, but I can't change resolutions without a screen scramble and crash. [edit: and I hate windowed mode]

I'll post an import if needed, but here are the error details.


See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

Now I'm going to ask an obvious question because sometimes I *AM* Capt Obvious, did you use a system restore that rolled it back to the broken state decal-Direct X wise?

I don't currently run your OS so I'm of little help there....

But did you change any drivers, see the system Windows update anything etc?

No, Maglett, and the previous broken DirectX was on a completely different machine. This is a new computer from the boards up and hasn't had problem one. I have not added or removed any Decal plugins, OS files, graphics files, nothing, nada. It worked fine one day and then just went toes up again. The previous errors (on the old machine) were DirectX 3D and DirectDraw crashes (and several people on varying machines had them). With the new machine, I get the above error and then the AC Client closes.

Oh, it was about the only thought I could come up with, I've never had any computer tech training (other than breaking my own).

Looks like AC+ has an error in the HUD... Try disabling that plugin and see if it allows you to alt-tab around ok.

Thank you, Xeon. Knew I could count on you.

Apparently, something in AgentZ was hanging up, even when it wasn't loaded. It's no longer supported anyway, so I guess small loss. Odd that it was working fine one minute then ralphed. *sighs* It was a nice ingame clock and /friends online loader while it lasted. It also totally borked DirectX and I had to reinstall that.

So....Anyone know a good ingame clock/coords/last corpse HUD plugin?

GoArrow goes corpse tracking (and a whole lot more... I couldn't play without the route finding)

I use GoArrow and AC+. AgentZ was primarily a way to keep track of time etc easily in game. It had a configurable text hud that I placed under my radar. Gave me Time of Day in my choice of fonts, colors, etc, in 2 time zones, my current coordinates, my last corpse coords, time left on buffs, and some other at-a-glance info. XP per hour, XP to level, etc were options. It still works for me if I use it. I just can't tab out or change my graphics if I do. Which makes it essentially nonfunctional, since I tab out frequently for info, loadfiles, etc. Ah well. AC+ info is too small and the wrong colors. (Colorvision issues).

AgentZ works great but on new install or anytime I make a new toon I have to go to HUD-MAIN and uncheck all the boxes for the items to include in that HUD. Otherwise when I alt-tab it will crash. You can add the options back that you want later, but it seems the default ones are too much.
