with latest win update the load freezes....screen reads "DX Create Device Failed not available" any thoughts?

Are you speaking of windows OS and which version (7 or 10), or are you just speaking of the "Windows update process/app"?

Sorry.....I was unclear. Win 10 just updated itself all of which went without any help from me. After the update, WOFF, which was working flawlessly, won't load anymore...the load process freezes on that message. "DX Create Device Failed not available" Thx........I can't be the only one?

Seems like every darn W10 update breaks something. Hear that everywhere. If they would just make it a program launcher with the O/S instead of some "Big Brother Master Control Program" the CP world would be a happier place.
Wish there was a viable alternative to MS. Drop them in a damn second. Just need a program launcher not some electronic wife, nanny, spy, and best friend.

Now that my rant is over I have not noticed anything yet though Windows updates at widely different times for users.

So........if I go back to default shaders........all's well but I'd HATE to miss all the eye candy that the enhanced shaders have added to the game. Tried reinstalling the DX9 from the toolbox.....no joy. Sent logs in to Devs.....will post if any results. Happy to hear any fixes you guys might have....or, have none of you had any issues after yesterdays Win10 update?

Il2-1946 and RB3d does have an patch to run on Linux mint. Who knows some handy guy could turn WoFF over to Linux.

Sorry Duke - I have to disagree with all of that. Don't want to debate, I'll just leave it at that.

gaw1 - I just updated my system yesterday, previous update was mid December (I do not leave my system connected to the Intranet), WOFF continues to work fine for me.

In case others want to know this is gaw1 hardware he posted in January of 17.
I'm no expert but had my kids (my Christmas pesent) kit me out w/ a GTX1080, an i76700cpu, and an Asus B150 mobo.

Have you updated Nvidia drivers recently?

The other suggestion is to email OBD support with your log files.

You may feel free to disagree sir but I stick with MS being out of control.

Stache......thx. Best I can figure is that the new update to Windows doesn't want to float the 3620x2036 resolution I was running. Worked fine and looked awesome before update........dropped my res back to 2560x1440....and all's well again. I did email OBD w/ logs so I hope they're reading this too. Cheers

Hi gaw1 - 3620 x 2036 you were running Dynamic Super Resolution (DSR) ?

There are google hits for issues with DSR having problems after Windows Creators Update (did not notice any mentioning Direct X).

If I were having this issue this would direct me even more to look at the Nvida drivers.

I run triple screen with Nvida Surround at 7780x1440 (Bezel adjusted) (Three 2560x1440 monitors)

Cool............that must look amazing! My Nvidia updater shows latest drivers......expect the DSR thing'll be resolved eventually. Hope so because the change to 3620 is really noticeable and perversely enough....WOFF seemed to run even better FPS at the DSR level. Guess we've been looking at this sim so long...even the slightest improvement is hard to give up. No worries.......onward!

OK.........FIXED, at least here! If anybody else has trouble making the higher resolutions stick assuming you've the card to run 'em........go to the NVIDIA settings, click on the "Manage 3D settings", click on "DSR Factors", check ALL the boxes on the drop down menu that appears with the arrow on the right, click APPLY, quit and reboot. When you're back up open up your NVIDIA settings again and click "Change Resolution" under Display, pick out the one you want....you'll see a lot more and hit APPLY. Close, click your DESKTOP and choose the same res under "Display settings". When you next open WOFF, go to the workshop, pick the same res, and Bob's your uncle. Worked here.....good luck!
