RO crashes when minimized or windowed

To Start off, I know there is another topic about this..
Now let me explain..

Ever since i got my new computer and installed Ro in it, Whenever i minimize the game and then bring it back up i get the error-----

Now,I have tryed deleting the User.ini and Redorchestra.ini but no sucess.. Someone help ?

Windowed or minimized results in crash

Windowed or minimized results in crash

OK, I have been getting a few RO crashes lately, and I think I have isolated it. It all seems to be stemming from either having RO in a window, or somehow when I minimize RO (hit start menu key to maybe change a channel in Teamspeak or Ventrilo) and then bring it back up, RO crashes. It will crash if all I do is minimize it then bring it back up. Seems to have started happening in the past week or two.

I have gathered from browsing other threads recently, that this seems to be a growing problem. It previously NEVER happened to me before....

It is minor if I never have to exit the window, but if I need to minimize RO for something, or hit the dreaded ALT-TAB key combo, I am doomed...

Any new RO or Steam updates happen lately that I am unaware of

(Oh, and I have an ATI x800 with the latest drivers....)

Devs should get to this problem..Been happening a lot lately....

Well, I know I had updated my video and sound drivers around the second week in December. I also think there was a Steam update around then, but not sure. I can't think of any updates that I may have done to possibly cause this.

Validating the files didn't help, nor did using an old good redorchestra.ini file (just in case....)

Also, I think the title of this thread is a bit misleading. Should be something like RO crashes when minimized or windowed....

The most of these problems are driver problems.. I had some sort of same errors. I reinstalled all my grapich drivers. DirectX graphics and it was solved. Im not really sure why your game crashes when you are minimizing I still have that sometimes 2.

Change the Render Device in Options/Display from DirectX 3D 9.0 to just DirectX 3D. This should fix it.

BUT it worked before....

You might look into the update to DirectX 9.0c to 9.0d

You might look into the update to DirectX 9.0c to 9.0d

I did that when you first posted about it.

As long as I stay away from the Start Menu Key, or the ALT-TAB, I seem to be ok.

 

[lu31605]

Hey moe..I think i may have fixed it for the time being...

I just started playing on some server for about 10-15 minutes, I exited out and a few other games later when i lower Ro and started it up again i didn't crash

Seems to be the solution for now.

I figured it out (for me), it was the latest XFire Update!!!

I usually have X-fire running when I go into game to see who is on where/what game/etc. At the moment, I have been able to duplicate this error/crash when XFire is running; it happens every time, but it doesn't happen at all (or so far) when I am not running XFire. Previously, I did not have this problem with XFire and RO.

I was trying to think of all the drivers or programs that updated in the past two weeks, and I forgot that XFire was one of them. The timing is just about right...
