Hello pals,

Hope someone could help me.
I just installed trueSpace 6.6 SP2 and also ts 7.61 Beta 8 Full Version on my computer and on both version when I want to switch to D3D View an error shows saying "Cannot switch to D3D. Switching to wireframe instead".

I installed trueSpace on Window 7 64-bit, installed DirectX 9.0c, the latest drivers for my NVidia GeForce GTX Titan video card and also tried to start trueSpace using the CTRL key pressed at the startup.

Do you know where can be the problem ?
Any advice ?

Thanks a lot in advance.
Roberto.

Are you working in the lagacy model side?

A couple things to try: (tS 6)

Right click D3D icon and check the settings panel.
Play around with those.

Also try holding Control key while double clicking icon to start trueSpace.
Configure tS panel should pop up.
Choose DirectX in 'Real Time Mode'
( the 'Pixmap Mode' is settings for wireframe mode)

Guys,

Thanks a lot for trying to help me on this.

I already tried your advice but with no luck.
Here I attach the D3D Mode dialog screen capture with my settings.

I also installed the latest DirectX 9.0c files.
Same problem with trueSpace 6.6 and trueSpace 7.61 Beta8
trueSpace does not allow me to set DirectX Mode.

What else can I try ?
This high end hardware should run it.

Roberto.

I had this issue a while ago after I upgraded from NVidia to AMD. It was a driver conflict problem.

Try to remove every remaining of your current graphic driver, and make sure you have no AMD or Nvidia programs. Then restart the computer, and install a reliable driver version (the latest may not be the best).

Was it working prior to installing SP2? If so then try uninstalling SP2.

Hi BNG,

It was a clean install for both versions of trueSpace.
In the case of trueSpace 6.6 the full version I have install the SP2 automatically, I do not need to install the Service Packs apart.

It looks like a NVidia Driver problem or bug somewhere.
At this time I am trying with a bunch of drivers released for my video card. Installing one by one.

Hope to find one to enable the D3D view.

I can't enable D3D view on a big Windows (2560x1440) but it work with Opengl.
I can enable D3D on a smaller windows. I think it is a problem of TS.
what is the resolution of your screen?

That's right. Here, I can place a 1910*1170 Modeler window on a second monitor but if I go above 2000 pixels width, the D3D is gone.

2000 pixels for D3D seem to be the limit of the software. Not a problem of driver or ram.

Thank you Marcel !!!

You have found the reason for this problem.
I am running trueSpace at a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels.

Here are my findings, my monitor and graphics card support the following resolutions:

800 x 600
1024 x 768
1152 x 864
1176 x 664
1280 x 720
1280 x 768
1280 x 800
1280 x 960
1280 x 1024
1360 x 768
1366 x 768
1600 x 900
1600 x 1024
1600 x 1200
1680 x 1050
1768 x 992
1920 x 1080
1920 x 1200
1920 x 1440
2048 x 1536

Only at the following resolutions "D3D View" stops working on my system:

2560 x 1440
2560 x 1600

Gracias amigo Marcel.

Have you tried adjusting the >file> WH setting menu.
Attached is what I use.

I can save render images up to max setting allowed by output, 7680x4800.

TS start-up config is set for Direct-x.
