happy x-mas everybody when i called d3d->CreateDevice(), next message popup, "Direct3D9: (INFO) :Failed to create driver indexbuffer" as result search on web about this msg, guess that i can ignore. am i right? but, fail to alpha test on my game app. i try to find reason of alpha test fail. any relation of this? so, what the hell was this message? P.S. sorry to my bad the english language.

DX say that :


Direct3D9: (INFO) :Direct3D9 Debug Runtime selected.

...

Direct3D9: (INFO) :======================= Hal HWVP Pure device selected

Direct3D9: (INFO) :HalDevice Driver style 9

Direct3D9: (INFO) :Failed to create driver indexbuffer


in DX control pannel :
Debug Output Level is 4.
Use Debug Version checked.
Maximum Validation checked.
Enable Shader Debugging checked.
Break on Mem checked.
Break on D3D9 Err checked.

why not? :-D

video card is radeon X1950 PRO now.
Alpha Test fail only happen on ATI.
when i run on NVIDIA, no problem.
ATI sucks!

thx.

Googling the warning gives This Post.

Basically, the driver doesn't support index buffers in hardware for some reason.
