Tropics demo. Thanks for the tip. Downloading and trying it out now.

cheers

It crashes when I set the option Stereo 3D to Enabled. It works if I set this option to disabled.

Likay, Neil is talking about the Sanctuary demo and you're talking about the Tropics demo.

EDIT : How do you select the different Stereo 3D modes?
EDIT2 : I was using Vista 64 bit. I rebooted to Vista 32 bit. It still does not work with stereo activated but this time it gives an error message instead of crashing. Here's the error message :

App:Stereo::setVideoModes(): can't find suitable display devices
Engine:video_restart(): can't set 1024x768 fullscreen video mode
App:Stereo::setVideoModes(): can't find suitable display devices
Engine:video_restart(): can't set 640x480 windowed video mode

I'm using the latest version of DirectX and the Nvidia drivers 174.74. I'm going to try to install more recent drivers but if it does not work, I have no idea what to do.

Oops.

Didn't notice they remade the sanctuary demo. Thought Neil meant the new tropics demo.

sorry.

What is your monitors configuration? Dualview?
Plus it's recommended to update video drivers.

I uninstalled the version I installed last time, downloaded Sanctuary Demo v2.1 and installed it in Vista 64 bit. I upgraded my video drivers to 178.24. I'm using a Nvidia 8600 GT. I have two monitors connected but the nView display mode is set to "Only use one display (single)". DirectX is up to date. I've got the november 2008 redistribuable installed.

Right now, if I keep the default settings of the demo and only change Stereo 3D to enabled, I get the following error :

Unigine fatal error
AppStereo::setVideoMode(): can't find suitable display devices
Engine::video_restart(): can't set 1024x768 windowed video mode
AppStereo::setVideoMode(): can't find suitable display devices

That's the reason. Set them into dualview mode.

BTW, we are to update both demos soon (in a month) because we have more S-3D optimizations.
