Temple+ Runtime Error

Hey folks!

I fired up Temple+ ToEE fine sometime last week I think, then closed it out. Now, when I try to run the Temple+ launcher, I get a runtime error and it closes out. I can launch ToEE with the Co8 launcher fine, and presumably from the base executable. My inclination is to want to reinstall Temple+ but I don't know whether or not that'll affect my saves, etc. I'm on my last node and second playthrough (after setting up Co8), so I'd rather not start a third!

 

Hi,

do you have an integrated GPU? If so you'll need to disable anti aliasing:

go to
C:\Users\<YOUR WINDOWS USERNAME HERE>\Saved Games\TemplePlus
and open TemplePlus.ini, set antialiasing=false

 

Ahhh, thanks! It looks like Temple+ updated without my noticing, and I had to add a rule for the new version's executable to always run on the GPU (probably my least-favorite 'feature' of the Optimus tech).

Appreciate it!

 

Okay so I spoke too soon in posting that. I both updated the GPU settings, and set AA to false in the .ini, still no dice.

 

Can you post the logfile? Should be in the same folder.

Hi,

do you actually have 4 displays connected? Might be related to that. Do you also get this error when running in Windowed mode?

Also, could you post the log after enabling d3dDebug in the TemplePlus.ini config file?
It is located in the same folder as the log file.
Please change
d3dDebug=false → d3dDebug=true
And post the log.

I do in fact use four displays, my laptop display, and three side monitors. I've been using four displays since I started playing ToEE again though. The only difference is that I changed out one of the displays (which was not used for the game).

 

I'm getting this error randomly from other things as well, I'm just not sure how to approach it. At least it indicates it's not isolated to Temple+.

This is the log with all of the extra monitors removed and a reboot.

 

I don't understand what or why, but the game is working. I have two folders for Temple+, 1.0.13 and 1.0.15. The latter always crashes, but the former works fine.

 

1.0.13 is the older version before the dx11 upgrade. It might work but it won't have Prestige Classes or any other feature added after that version...

A few more things you can try:
- Make sure your drivers are up to date
- Force it to the integrated GPU instead (and set AA to off)
- In the ini file, set displayAdapter=1 instead of =0

 

That must be the problem; I probably haven't updated DirectX 11; it's done through Windows Update and I keep those on approval-only to avoid nonsense like the Win10 forced upgrade. I'll try to get DX11 going (didn't know that was part of it, though I totally fussed with getting DX9 updated) and see where that leaves me.
