Stefan and all...
in context.c
the following lines:
/* When findCompatible is set and no suitable format was found, let ChoosePixelFormat choose a pixel format in order not to crash. */ if(!iPixelFormat && !findCompatible) { ERR("Can't find a suitable iPixelFormat\n"); return FALSE; } else
why not remove this and go ahead and call ChoosePixelFormat? If ChoosePixelFormat fails then we say we can't find a suitable pixel format? This removes one problem when EverQuest2.exe runs where I get 2-3 calls to WineD3D_ChoosePixelFormat. The first call seems to work as it loads the shaders (least that is whats in the logs it looks like) but with the above bit of code I get 2 more calls which fail and say the above error. Now in DX9 I read when initializing it calls initialization several times for each display adapter reported (I think thats what I remember it saying). EverQuest2.exe still reports that the ATI FireGL card does not have Pixel Shaders (which it does) but I do not seem to be getting the exception or the iPixel Error in my logs after removing this. Is it critical we have the above code when we can get similar function by removing it and letting ChoosePixelFormat fail if the card does not support it?
