copy rects don''t seem to be working for me.... POINT test; test.x = 0; test.y = 0; HRESULT r = 0; r = g_pd3dDevice->CopyRects(this->image,NULL, 1, g_pBackSurf ,&test); if(FAILED(r)) { if( r & D3DERR_INVALIDCALL) MessageBox(g_hWnd, "copy surface fast","error",MB_OK); } how much faster is copyrects over D3DXLoadSurfaceFromSurface, because when im using D3DXLoadSurfaceFromSurface, it seriously reduces my frame count, when i load a surface onto the back buffer, im guessing this is due to the stretching that slows it down? any way, icant get CopyRects to seem to work....

g_pd3dDevice->CopyRects(this->image,NULL, 1, g_pBackSurf ,&test);


where you puut this->image
shouldnt that be a pointer to another surface ?
i''m not an expert


but Copyrects is faster coz it copies the whole area in one time, it think using hardware

and CopySurfaceToSurface copies pixel per pixel to the other surface , so it''s slower

hrmm, well using copytosurface reducaes my frames from about 300 to about 60, and the
this->image
where
image is...
LPD3DSURFACE8 image;
^if i aint spelled that right, yer know what i mean, dun ya?

okay, i can get CopyRect''s working with 2 different surfaces, but when i try to copy to the back buffer, it fails, could it be something needs to be locked? or they need to be the same format? or ene thing else?
