My ID3D10Device creation works fine in debug mode but I throws an error in release mode:

DXGI_SWAP_CHAIN_DESC scDesc = {0};
    scDesc.BufferDesc.Width = desc.width;
    scDesc.BufferDesc.Height = desc.height;
    /*scDesc.BufferDesc.RefreshRate.Numerator = 60;
    scDesc.BufferDesc.RefreshRate.Denominator = 1;*/
    scDesc.BufferDesc.Format = DXGI_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_UNORM;
    scDesc.BufferDesc.ScanlineOrdering = DXGI_MODE_SCANLINE_ORDER_UNSPECIFIED;
    scDesc.BufferDesc.Scaling = DXGI_MODE_SCALING_UNSPECIFIED;

    scDesc.BufferUsage = DXGI_USAGE_RENDER_TARGET_OUTPUT;
    scDesc.BufferCount = 1;
    scDesc.OutputWindow = desc.hWnd;
    scDesc.SwapEffect = DXGI_SWAP_EFFECT_DISCARD;
    scDesc.Flags = 0;

    scDesc.Windowed = true;
    scDesc.SampleDesc.Count = desc.sampleCount;
    scDesc.SampleDesc.Quality = desc.sampleQuality;

    // Create the device.
    UINT createDeviceFlags = 0;
#if defined(DEBUG) || defined(_DEBUG)
    createDeviceFlags |= D3D10_CREATE_DEVICE_DEBUG;
#endif

    HRESULT hr;
    hr = D3D10CreateDeviceAndSwapChain(
        nullptr,
        D3D10_DRIVER_TYPE_HARDWARE,
        NULL,
        createDeviceFlags,
        D3D10_SDK_VERSION,
        &scDesc,
        &g_Renderer.m_DxCore.pSwapChain,
        &g_Renderer.m_DxCore.pDevice);

    std::tcout<<hr;


//////RUNTIME ERROR HANDLING
    if(FAILED(hr)) {
        throw std::runtime_error("ERROR: Failed to create ID3D10Device and IDXGISwapChain");
    }

I've already checked each of these options, but none of it triggers. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb205278(v=vs.85).aspx

The value of the hr seems to be -2005270527, after checking it with std::cout<<hr My debugger also can't show the value of hr when hovering over it, for some reason. :(

What could the problem possibly be?

The error code translates into DXGI_ERROR_INVALID_CALL. A likely reason for that error is an invalid (or zero) window handle being passed in the OutputWindow parameter. Could you check that it is properly set in your release mode run?

  • \$\begingroup\$ It is not properly set. If I set a breakpoint at scDesc.BufferDesc.Height = desc.height; it will stop there, but when I tell my debugger to go to the next statement (step over or F10 in Visual studio), the code seems to jump straight to D3D10CreateDeviceAndSwapChain(), and if I check for the values of the description it didn't adjust the values I told it to either. How is that even possible? \$\endgroup\$ Commented May 6, 2012 at 11:19

  • \$\begingroup\$ I finally found my error! The reason was I did ASSERT(RegisterClass(myWndClass)); Ofcourse that's going to fail in release mode... stupid me! \$\endgroup\$ Commented May 10, 2012 at 13:09
  • \$\begingroup\$ That's classic! Good job figuring it out! \$\endgroup\$ Commented May 10, 2012 at 18:14

You're not supposed to specify a refresh rate when the device is windowed.

  • \$\begingroup\$ I tried this, still have the error \$\endgroup\$ Commented May 6, 2012 at 10:18

Release mode runtime won't zero out allocations if I recall correctly, perhaps some of the parameters in scDesc are junk values that now need initializing.

  • \$\begingroup\$ This is probably it. In your declaration you should always use something like DXGI_SWAP_CHAIN_DESC scDesc = { 0 } ; so that the structure begins 0'd out. \$\endgroup\$ Commented May 6, 2012 at 3:35
