Yea it didn't solve the error. I didn't think it was that big of a deal since it still displayed the export.

Using Vista 32

Ok, couple things I noticed.

C# .net 2.0, Visual Studio 2010, Windows 7 x64

I realized that plugins developed on 2.9.6.1 couldn't be added to my other box running 2.9.6.0, so, I'm upgrading that box (Win 7 x64 as well).

Closed down AC/Decal/ACDC

Installed msxml6_x64.msi found here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=993c0bcf-3bcf-4009-be21-27e85e1857b1

Installed the decal beta.

I was now able to add my plugin no problem, ok, time to get testing!

First, I fire up my trade-bot running only mule it trade it! only to realize that the GUI is all messed up. Unuseable. The plugin seems to be running normally though. I'm thinking, ok, maybe its just this. I loaded up vtank and my own plugins, all have messed up GUI's.

I have VViews disabled, so I don't think its that.

Also, my dev box does NOT have this issue. Same plugins, same decal, and I installed the same xml update as well. My dev box has so many other libs and dev packages installed though so thats probably it.

Here's the export:

I think everyone currently working on Decal has an Nvidia or Intel card. I have not seen any graphics corruption issues but it could be happening on ATI cards.

Tested VViews on that box. VTank looks good on VViews. Its just the decal view thats broken.

My dev box also runs an ATI 5870 card, although an older version, the 1GB version. I'll try updating the catalyst drivers on the AC rig.

I'm using a ATI HD 4650 and not having any graphic issues with any plugins.

Updated the display drivers, no luck.

Updated DirectX, no luck.

It does appear to be gfx corruption though, 99% sure.

Just curious, have you tried rebooting?

I also see you're using 3 1920x1200 displays (nice! I only have 2), maybe you could try disabling one or two as well.

I've tried rebooting.

After I updated the ATI catalyist drivers (for eyefinity), it destroys the grouping, so you're stuck one display mirrored across all 3 until you reset it up (which is easy), and that didn't work either.

I did not try physically disconnecting any of the displays.

Normally I VNC to that machine. I double checked at that box and its the same as it appears over VNC, goofy gfx for the plugin windows.

Depends on what in particular you mean.

This version has an option to disable the Decal views from rendering, this creates a noticeable increase in framerate if you are like me and only use Virindi View plugins.

General CPU use for everything that isn't graphics will never go down, however. Decal does a lot of things in the background, including intercepting every packet and sending it to a bunch of plugins and loading over 100 hooks into the client.



Would rewriting the Decal views to use the more efficient managed DirectX textures that Virindi Views uses break every plugin? I'm not sure how the UI is implemented (ie: if there's some higher-level UI toolkit that Decal plugin creators use), or if it's low level enough to be broken by a rewrite.

I would love to use nothing but Virindi Views, as its far faster and more efficient, but I have many plugins that don't use VV (GoArrow, Squire, Quest Timer, Make It, etc).
