| Summary | 0000344: directx crash to desktop on start when trying to play movies | ||||
| Description | If I select directx mode and try to run occationaly I will see the main logo but I will end up right back on the desktop. The error log excerpt sais: fs2_open_C20050306b caused an Access Violation in module lgvid.ax at 001b:1d24151d. This message is largely the same with other builds (one of which CVS 20050212. The build named above in the error is generaly more stable for me than the cvs build just mentioned. lgvid.ax sounded like a video codec because of the name and the .ax extension so I moved the movies out of the movies folder and tried agian. worked fine. actualy it probobly wasn't the presence of any of the movies except the intro.avi. though if I left the other movies in logicaly it would crash on attempt to play. No problems like this in OGL mode. Specs: win2k, p4 2.6g, 1g ram, nvidia gforce 6800gt agp 8x (though somehow on a 4x board :(... ). | ||||
| Additional Information | This is my first bug report on this site and second bug report ever... Just a guess here but most MS codecs seem to be tied into directx in how they interface, at least video anyway (not an authority on this matter though). My guess would be a need to set the access mode for SCP's access to the video as cooperative rather than exclusive, that or de-init and re-init between video playback (yuck). maybe some other thing that I don't know of since I have never gotten much beyond init, do something simple, close down (on dx). I mention the cooperative thing as I had a similar problem (way back on 9x) with 2 sound applications dx based. movies were downloaded from http://web.engr.oregonstate.edu/~plankerj/fs2movies/ | ||||

Thank you for the very complete and detailed report. I'm giving this one to RT, since he's the one who did the movie code IIRC. |
|
|
Reminder sent to RandomTiger Have you noticed you were assigned this bug? |
|
|
Assigning to taylor, since he seems to be handling the movie code. Might this have been fixed? |
|
|
It might have been fixed but I don't know for sure since I can only use OGL on my own Windows system right now. I grabbed a WinXP laptop to test some DirectX stuff on for tomorrow so I'll make sure it's fixed and if it isn't I'll just have to fix it. |

After some searching on Google this just looks like a corrupt DirectShow filter. Not sure why it only happens in D3D mode but I'm going over the code just in case there's something there. Two fixes: 1) re-install the software which has lgvid.ax in it. It appears to be a 3rd party thing. If it's corrupt then maybe that will fix it. 2) find where the lgvid.ax file is on the disk and uninstall it from the registry, ie. Start->Run... "regsrv32.exe /u <path_to_file>\lgvid.ax". regsrv32.exe should be in the path but if not then it should in c:\winnt\system32 on Win2k. If a code problem is found then it will get fixed but so far this just looks like a system issue. |

Likely just a system issue so... Closered. |
