WinUAE crashing after Alt-Tab

Steve · 28 December 2013, 12:34

Exactly as stated in the title. Anytime I perform an Alt-Tab while in full-screen mode then WinUAE crashes. I am using version 2.7. Attached are a couple of dumps.

JFI ... I have also tried Alt-Tab in full-screen with official WinUAE 2.7.0 (2013-12-05) and on my WinXP SP3 PC/Laptop it works fine !!!

@steve
Do you still use an old config file for new 2.7.0 ... if yes, try to save a new config file from 2.7.0 and use this one instead ... maybe this help.

Of course it does not crash on all systems, it is 100% obvious

(and D3D code path is different on pre-Vista systems anyway)

Vsync only? (You seem to have vsync enabled)
RTG or native screen only?

Does it really work with 2.6.1? (I don't think so for some reason..)

EDIT: and of course, winuaelog.txt needed.

Hi. Vsync off still seems to make it crash. It is just standard display not RTG. New logs attached. It has been crashing a little differently now. Alt-Tab back to Windows seems ok but then go back to WinUAE and it crashes. Very odd. I don't know about 2.6.1 but I don't think I remember this happening before. It is a new configuration file I have created especially for Putty Squad that I'm using.

Please test with 2.6.1 because it crashes inside D3DX9_43.dll. D3DXCore::CSprite::Flush so it must have something to do with D3DSprites. If you have on screen leds enabled, try to disable them, any change?

Yep, that's the problem! Turned off the on screen LEDs and there is no crashing with Alt-Tab now. So maybe it is a graphics driver related issue? I am only using the on-board Intel graphics processer that is in the i7-3770k - I don't have a dedicated graphics card. Do you still want me to try 2.6.1?

If 2.6.1 crashes, it is near-guaranteed it is driver problem.

I've just tested out the same configuration with 2.6.1 and get the same problem so it looks like its definitely a driver issue. Oh well. Not a big deal I guess. I'll just leave the LED's off as I don't need them all the time. Thanks for your help.
