[0.16.51] Error: "Direct3D device lost during loading of sprites"

Post by Urubaen »

Hey, since few days I have an annoying bug with the game, when I try to start it, the initial loading stop at 40% and when I open the task manager it seems the game constantly switch between my graphic card and my integrated graphic card.
I need to reload the game few time until he decide to stop bugging...

I didn't change anything in my PC before this bug start to occur (no windows update, no drivers update), so i've not idea what cause it.

It's really annoying, I want to play and I always need to wait like 10-15min before the game load correctly...

Ref.: 60846
Do you know if you have a rx 580 or actually a 570 incorrectly detected? If you don't know, post your dxdiag output please.
You could try openGL as workaround.

hi,
I have a rx 570.
I post my dxdiag, more information is never a bad thing when trying to find the problem.
I've try the opengl launch option and it seems to work fine with it but finding the issue (that seems to come from nowhere) is always a good thing.

Something seems to be broken driver side then.

that's really strange oO
I hadn't this problem before and even with drivers reinstalled (and downgraded), windows continue to detect a rx580, i will investigate more about this weird thing

You're not the first to have this issue. There's some possible causes in the thread I linked... most likely cause is that an incorrect firmware has been flashed onto the card for performance/overclocking reasons.

Just to add some more data, I'm also running into a similar issue viewtopic.php?f=7&t=61362
But I have the RX470 and it is correctly identified.
I'd thought the line of failed to load sprite was interesting and thus named my issue after that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This should not happen in 0.17 anymore.

Until it is released, possible workaround could be to use --force-opengl launch option, disable thread-sprite-loading in config.ini, or to set graphics-quality to normal
