D3D Com. Error. / PS2 CDT.

[Seff]

After release of the new ingame overlay version (RTST Beta) I was not able to see any achievements or ingame overlays and there was only one known fix:

1. Launch RTST under Admin mode.
2. Launch PS2 under Admin mode.

but if player uses steam version of the PS2, there was no known way to launch game under admin mode. By this way RTST was only working audio/voice only, but anything else like visual ingame things where not coming up.

There is way to go around the steam issue if you:

1. Launch RTST under Admin mode.
2. Force PS2 run under Admin mode (out of steam) by:
a) Navigating ...\Steam\SteamApps\common\PlanetSide 2
b) Launch "LaunchPad.exe" under Admin mode.

I confirmed that this will fix all the issues (you see achievements, ingame overlay, get audio messages etc.)

But now as new 64bit client came out that trick is not working anymore.

1. Launching game under admin mode "LaunchPad.exe" will fix the issue, if people where running the game under steam.
2. If you launch the game while RTST is running (Auto mode/ x64 mode) will CTD your game.
3. Will give you in top RTST little D3D Com. Error.

I confirmed that D3D was causing the CTD, I just Disabled all Ingame overlays under Overlay menu and Options, I'm no longer getting CTD.

I hope it helps.

Which OS are you running? Are you using any other overlay programs? Mumble, TS, Steam?

I'm using Windows 8.1 (x64) and I do not use any other Overlays.

I just looked the console and nothing came up there:

rtst_d3doverlay_x64.dll loaded.
Install Hooks Function found.
Attempting hook 3.
Hook ready

After many attempts I managed to launch RTST with game normally 1 time only, but after that CTD continued.

Thanks, it may be an issue with Windows 8.1. I'm going to check into it now.

Have the same issue. Windows 8. If I disable the in game overlay it works. I get in game for about 1/2 second and it crashes. (passed the character select screen and into the spawn selection map.)

No other overlays, both running in administrator.

Ok, I was able to recreate the issue and *hopefully* fix it.

There is a new beta client out now.

Remember to make sure Beta Participation is checked under Options.

Ok after couple of tests I can confirm, the issue seems to be fixed now. Ingame overlay and achievements are working fine.

Note those who had that issue:

1. You need launch both RTST and PS2 under Admin mode (if you use steam version of the game, then do not launch it using steam, but just use Admin mode on "LaunchPad.exe").
2. If overlay still does not come up, then make sure that you change under options Auto to x64
2. Your game must be in full screen.

Also I noticed when I closed my game down RTST gave me that D3D com. Error. on top of the RTST, seems to be just visual message, nothing what could affect RTST usage.

Thank you so much, for fixing the problem so fast.

You're welcome. Please let me know if you run into any other problems.

The d3d com error just means RTST lost connection to the game. This happens if you alt-tab, change the resolution, or quit. The error will show up and RTST will try to re-establish a connection.

Full-screen is not actually required-- at least it shouldn't be... There's still probably some issues to iron out, thanks for all of your patience.

Planetside 2 just rolled back to 32bit version...

Under options Auto / x86 version will not activate ingame Overlay and achievements.

Tested as:

1. RTST and PS2 where running in Admin mode.
2. Both Auto and x86 version. (Even tried with x64)...

*sigh*

Oh so that what was going on. I just registered to report the same thing. I also tried both tests and it did not work
