[SOLVED] Swop Chain failed Error


photo

Recommended Posts

Dear Unigine,

 

i am testing with the unigine evaluation kit for some while and in various versions.

 

I downloaded the latest ev.Kit today.

 

When trying to start the FBX plugin demo, i recieve this message (please see image attached)

 

This error does not occur always at a specific moment, sometimes when loading the plugin.

 

The unigine window closes after pressing ok.

 

Thank you for advise.

 

Werner

First of all you should also provide log.html file from within your <sdk-root>/bin subdirectory. Also information about your HW, OS, GPU, DX9/11 etc is required. The error message indicates some DX9/DX11 graphics initialization problems which is quite rare. maybe there are some version conflict with previous evaluation kits.

Hello Ulf,

 

thank you for this information. This already is a good hint.

Yes, I will do that if the error occurs again.

 

***** Edit ***

 

The error seems to be consitently popping, while opening a new window.

Thank you.

Werner,

 

Did you overclock your GPU Card? Such type of errors is related with hardware unstability (similar gigabyte gtx680 troubles is described in this thread on nvidia forums).

Please, update your driver to the latest nVidia 314.07 and try again.

 

Thanks!

Hello silent,

 

I installed the latest driver, now the error does not occur so far.

Interesting enough, that it is manufacturer dependent. (gigabyte).

 

I didnt oc my card.

 

Thank you! 

 

++++++++ edit: unfortunately, the error came back.
If its the card, its ok, then I definitely need to change it.

(I dont like gigabyte anyway ;))

 

I will observe this behavior further on.

 

++++++++

 

 

Cheers.

Hello again.

 

I was running a dual monitor setup as those errors occured.

 

I am running my system on a single display right now, and so far no chain swop error occured.

 

Will observe it further.

 

Cheers

Werner

Hello again,

 

I followed up the problem and I think I found a case, where it did not occur.

 

It definitely occured on a single as well as on a multimonitor setup.

 

The error did not occur, as I keep all the new gui windows over the actual scene window.

I ran the editor maximized, so all the menues popped up on top and I did not pull them off the window.

 

That worked fine for me all day long.

 

Cheers

I had the same error occuring after installing the latest eval. kit.

 

I blame it on the FXAA, which I turned on (which also confused me about the text rendering).

 

Error didnt occur after I turned off FXAA.

 

B.w.

Running with FXAA turned ON still crashes Unigine with the mentioned Swop Chain Error, on my machine!

 

b.w.

Np. probably it is the model of the GFX card as already mentioned.

 

Just wanted to report, that this is still an issue here on my machine.

 

Will trace it.

 

Best.

W.
