PR-DX9-WinAero-Problem

[=VG= 0100011000101]

ok, i got a weird problem...

I've been playing pr on the same machine for years now. never really had any problems ...
because i am a friend of performance at computer, i always turned off all features at "display" under win7. the desktop design was always "classic".

now the new cubase version requires that you use an aero design instead of classic and I changed it.
since then i have had problems starting PR. I can log into the launcher and the screen turns black as usual ... then my second monitor starts to twitch excitedly and the frequencyrate changes a few times. then there is a CTD with the message that pr no longer works. a problem with rendDX9.dll (exact name is missing right now).

after about 5 tries mostly it works and i can join the game.
If I switch my desktop design to classic, I immediately come into the game and everything is fine. when i switch back to aero definitely this error occurs 3-8 times ...

bf2 had always problems with directX and the net is full of posts...but always the problem can be solved by reinstalling dx9 or overwrite the dll with a good copy of it. i tried both now but it does not help.

does anyone have any idea what i can do for it or against it?

I had this problem too, I fixed it by unplugging the Commodore 64 and putting it in the bin. That worked for me.

So, this would be a post you should make in the Bugs / Tech Support of the PR Website.  Don't be shy, they need reports like this.  Might be a simple fix for one of them for the next patch, but if they're all running Win10 and aren't aware of the issue, how can it get fixed?  I assure you, PR Devs and contributors like Alon, Mineral, etc. don't read posts on this website.  Don't count on someone else to make a report (nothing wrong with a site search to avoid a double post, but still...) - you're a VG member and a PR admin who already helps keep this game alive, might as well take it to the next level, and report to the PR Devs.

Let them know what's up and see what comes of it.

if nobody has an idea here, I will do it too. but the support for win 7 stops in three weeks and you should switch to 10. anyway. ^^

unplugging c64 should be punishable. No way!

i still have an old amiga cdtv running ... but haven't used it for years.
