Full game Construct 2 and Construct 3 to post on Google Play
  • Hello, I'm very new and I just started with construct. So I opened an example to see how everything is. First I clicked "Run all" then this message popped up with this message...

    [quote:3rj73147]

    Runtime error

    Construct encountered an error in the display engine. Please report this problem to the application developer.

    Fail to create Direct3D 9 device. (0x8876017c)

    Then I clicked "Run Layout" and still the same message. Then I thought I might need to debug it first so I click "Debug all" and "Debug Layout" and still the message popped up so I thought it might just be a problem with the application so I tried another one without success.

    HELP ME!

  • Seems like a vram error.How much megs does your gfx card have?.You could try to update your gfx card's drivers or get the latest directX drivers.

  • DO NOT USE HUGE RED BOLD CAPS, IT'S VERY ANNOYING!

  • AND DO GO OFFTOPIC THAT"S EVEN MORE ANNOYING

  • So what do you want me to download. I currently have DirectX 9.0

  • First of all, does this happen with the application runtime? (File -> New -> New Application)

    What are your system specs?

    Also, try re-installing DX9, especially if you're on Windows 7.

  • Go to start menu and then go to run, type in dxdiag that will determine if your directx files are corrupt or not.Look for any missing or corrupt dxd9 files .If there are files missing on the directX files tab then you need to reinstall directX9c.Try downloading a new driver for your gfx card first.

  • There are no drivers for my graphics card and I've reinstalled Direct X 9 about 3 times today.

    I might have been downloading the wrong thing. Someone give me a link.

  • What graphics card do you have? Nvidia ,Ati Or onboard GFX.Without any Technical specs there's little we can do to help you out.

    Now what?

  • ooh need to upgrade that video card,You need at least 64 megs of video ram to run CS if im not mistaken.Display memory must be at least 64.0 MB

  • Indeed, that video card is far too outdated for Construct I'm afraid. You could probably upgrade, but AGP cards are becoming less and less common now as most use PCI-E. Would also need to know what power supply you're running as a new card will draw much more power than that one.

  • Sad really. This seems so much better than game maker. I'm on an Optiplex GX260. I could download it on another computer but I hardly get to spend time on that one.

  • Try Construct 3

    Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.

    Try Now Construct 3 users don't see these ads
  • Download it on that other computer then ,Believe me you won't be dissapointed.Construct Is the best program ive ever seen so far.

    ...whoa.

    A 2002 computer and it's never been upgraded? How can you even browse the web on that these days?
