XAudio2: GetPerformanceData() time in milliseconds?
|
Hi all,
What is the correct way to convert the performance data given by XAudio2's GetPerformanceData() function to actual time values?
Currently, I'm reading the CPU speed from the registry, which gives me 2814MHz, which is 2814000000 cycles /... |

HLSL: Samplers in pixel shaders

Hi,
I'm using HLSL for my pixel shader without the effects framework, and I'm new to pixel shaders (Something I really should have used by now, but never mind...).
Here's my very basic shader:

{
float4 pos : POSITION;

2 FPS - Vertex shader bound?

Hi all,
I'm trying to get a game to work on my laptop (Guild Wars). I've installed it all fine, and it runs - but it runs at 2 FPS with the lowest graphics settings, using PIX to measure FPS.
I've checked through PIX, and the game isn't do... |

Lock-free lists

Hi all,
I was looking into lock-free data structures recently, to try and implement a lock-free free list. However, every implementation I looked at needs to allocate a new node with operator new, which will cause a lock on the heap while it... |

Removed texture with timestamp + failed to create surface
|
You can still use StretchRect with textures (Well, with the top surface level), but I wouldn't recommend it - 3D hardware is optimised for rendering 3D rather than blitting in 2D, which is essentially what StretchRect does. Even if it does turn out t... |

[C] structures which depend on each others
|
My C is a bit rusty, but what if you do:
struct List;
struct Node;
typedef struct{
int length;
struct Node* pBegin;
struct Node* pEnd;
}List;
// etc...
I.e. prepend the struct keyword to the Node type?

Removed texture with timestamp + failed to create surface
|
The whole "Removed texture with timestamp" messages come because the D3D asset manager is trying to free up video memory to get a new asset in.
The problem is that you were previously using the managed pool (D3DPOOL_MANAGED), which takes care of s... |

Updating Joystick / Wheel Settings
|
It'll depend entirely on the driver, and might not even be possible.
Also, moving this to the lounge since it's not DirectX related and you'll probably get a better response there. |

DirectX API
|
It may be worth noting that unless your application is completely free (Not even Shareware), you need to pay for an FMOD license. If that's not a problem then I can also highly recommend it. |

[DX9] Everything I touch is leaking memory, and I don't know why
|
The usual cause for memory leaks like this is calling GetBackBuffer(), GetSurfaceLevel(), or some similar Get*() call, and not Release()ing the interface returned.
I find the easiest way to track the errors down is to just comment out code until t... |

equivalent of Spy++
|
What messages? You can use Spy++ for monitoring window messages, and Pix (With the DirectX SDK) to examine all Direct3D function calls.
What component of DirectX are you talking about? Direct3D? |

Are you checking return values? Do any function fail? Do the Debug Runtimes say anything?
