Gamebryo renderer not resetting

Question

The renderer for my game application is not properly resetting when I sometimes lock out of my computer and log back in. The application uses the Gamebryo engine with the CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI) layer on top. When using a DirectX debugger log, I get the following messages when the application fails to reset.

It looks like certain D3D textures are not being properly released prior to resetting, which is causing the Gamebryo renderer to fail to reset. What is the best solution to determine which resource is not being released?

Answer 1

Maintaining a database of all D3DPOOL_DEFAULT resources and releasing/recovering them upon device lost is a job for the rendering engine, Gamebryo in your case - I'd guess it's an engine problem (device resetting is always a bit tricky) and not necessarily your fault.

What you could do is

lAllocID=54625

take the ID, fire DirectX control panel, enable debug runtime, set warning level to high and enter the ID into the 'break on allocId' field. This raises a breakpoint as soon as the resource is allocated during startup.
