Direct3D + VBox 3.1.0BETA3 + PhoenixRC

Post by ilyxa »

Application: PhoenixRC 2.5t (latest ? http://www.phoenix-sim.com/)
Host: MacOSX 10.6.2 + VirtualBox 3.1.0_BETA3
Guest: WinXP SP3 32-bit

Why important (for me): spent a bit of money for this program - and have a bootcamp partition only for this - too fat ;)

VirtualBox Guest WinXP aborted after trying to start an application as usual.
An investigation revealed that the virtual machine crashes after the 3rd attempt to start the application - the reproducibility of 100%.

A piece of diagnostic output of this application:

Code: Select all

Loading: simSceneShadower_shadowMap...
failed: simTexture: D3DXCreateTexture failed: D3DERR_NOTAVAILABLE
ERROR (simSceneShadower): Shadow render texture not created. Shadowing disabled.
Application systems created
VBox.log attached below - nothing special even at the time of event of the operating system ....

VMWare Fusion working fine with this application, confirmed.

UPDATE:
Probably, problem is in VBox BETA3 - now I just replaced New 3.1.0 with stable 3.0.12 - application running (not so good as I expected - font problem - no fonts at all application dialogs...). Upgrading to 3.1.0 - without installing VBox Guest Additions - error 3DSupportIncomatimbleAdditions...

If somebody want to confirm this bug - you can try out the driven software from site above - for me - reproducible 100%.
