Side By Side works fine but Occulus crashes d3d9.dll
Posted: Fri Mar 20, 2015 1:30 am
So I have been having a real bad week so far. Having found out when I got my oculus I could play games with Perception I downloaded it and immediately fired up Fallout New Vegas with the oculus settings. They worked like a charm and everything was working just fine! Then I am not sure what happened but something somewhere caused perception to crash the game after a few uses of it working perfect.
The error was ALWAYS the d3d9.dll
Being frustrated I formatted my computer reinstalled everything fresh and tried again and got the same dll error. So I downloaded windows 8 and tried that and got the same thing. I went back to windows 7 and tried different versions of direct x and any redistributable I thought might be the cause. Nothing would fix the problem... So I went and bought a new graphics card (it was time for an upgrade anyway) A fresh instal and fresh drivers and a card that supported Direct X 11 I thought we would get it working.
It made somewhat of a difference. Instead of crashing to an appcrash dialog showing d3d9 was at fault. The game would just boot up and then flash a black screen and close with no warning or dialog box or anything. So I went to work updating redistributables and what not I would inject dlls into the game folder even tho fallout apparently didn't need it but it was worth a try. I tried the 2.1.0 version since people said it works best but also tried every other version i could get my hands on and I am now back to the d3d9.dll being the error.
I hope all this information helps and there is one last piece of really useful info. When I chose the Side by Side mode the game boots fine and the green perception menus are there everything is working just dandy!
I have uninstalled the oculus runtime and drivers. Reinstalled those. I have literally tried everything I can think of and an exhaustive google search and search on this forum I didn't find much help.
I just hope there is somewhere out there who can piece all this together and understand what is going on. I am pretty much giving up on getting my oculus to work with perception. Do I settle for just SBS?
Any help is appreciated.
