NxOgre and Vista Trouble

Hi all,

Been using nxogre for a while now and now that i've upgraded (if you can call it that :)) to windows vista my nxogre apps and the tutorials crash on execution. They compile without any problems.

I've tried using nxogre 0.6 and 0.9, both have interesting results.

0.6 crashes at fopen.c (or something like that, at work the now so i cant be exact) and 0.9 crashes in the nxphysxdriver.h and points me to the line where mWorld is being used.

I will post again tonite with more accurate details but i thought if anyone has a solution or has come across the same/similar problems could help me out :)

I'm using the most recent Physx sdk and driver as well.
Ogre runs fine, anytime an nxogre line is added it will crash.

Thanks all and I hope there is a fix!

Interesting. I wouldn't expect World would be the problem, it doesn't do much, and when it does the code is pretty portable. I suspect it's PhysX itself - However I have another idea.

But until when you get home, I'll just have to guess.

Hi,

Apologies for not getting back with the more details that I said I would, was up for most of last nite sorting the trouble out.

It turns out that I had a dll file called PhysicsCore.dll in the same directory as my executable (ie. release folder). In XP this does nothing but in Vista it causes it to crash as mentioned.

Deleting it solved the probelm, not sure why I had it there in the first place but it may have been from my dll batch from my 0.4 work that i copied over.

Anyways, problem solved! Get rid of PhysicsCore.dll in the release folder!

Thanks all for the quick reply and interest into my problem.
And thanks betajaen for NxOgre :)

Btw, I'm using it for an international games competition called Dare To Be Digital, my progress can be seen on the site www.daretobedigital.com.

Theres video diarys on the progress of the game, in which i am also present in :)

Nice. Which team are you?

[Edit]

I'm guessing "Emergence" with the Ogre screenshots there?
