D3D9 and SetViewPort

On my machine the SetViewPort() function when using D3D9 drivers creates a blank screen. It works fine using D3d7 or openGL drivers. Even more strangely, this only happens in full screen. When in windowed graphics mode D3D9 works fine. Is there some issue or quirk I am not aware of? Heres the code I am using: superstrict SetGraphicsDriver 'insert drive to test here Graphics 800,600,32 test() EndGraphics Graphics 640,480,0 test() Function test() Cls SetViewport 100,100,100,100 DrawOval 0,0,300,300 Flip While Not KeyHit(KEY_ESCAPE) Wend End Function |

Supposedly viewports aren't compatible with 100% of the video adapters out there... |

But it was old ones I had trouble with, several years back (no black screen or anything, simply that the viewport didn't work so everything I drew in it wasn't clipped by it). This is worrying if it's happening with DX9 on modern machines as I recently released a game that used SetViewPort after it called SetVirtualResolution. Last edited 2011 |

i think there is still some "bugs" in d3d9 driver..: this works: SuperStrict SetGraphicsDriver GLMax2DDriver() SetGraphicsDriver D3D7Max2DDriver() SetGraphicsDriver D3D9Max2DDriver()'insert drive to test here Graphics 800,600,32 test() EndGraphics Graphics 640,480,0 test() Function test() Cls Flip 'Add this SetViewport 100,100,100,100 DrawOval 0,0,300,300 Flip While Not KeyHit(KEY_ESCAPE) Delay 5 Wend End Function Last edited 2011 Last edited 2011 |

@Zeke Are you saying you have to flip before setting the viewport to get it work at all? |

yeah.. of course if you put whole Cls,SetViewport,Drawoval and Flip inside While/Wend loop then it works fine(without flip after CLS). but that test is only "clearscreen,setviewport,drawoval,flip" and then wait for escape keypress.. not loop. so maybe there is something wrong with flip, or graphics initialization or something else. weird bug. [EDIT] also if you use flip after SetViewPort. this works fine too. but before CLS. not working. Last edited 2011 |
