Installation CTD on launch of fresh install/no add ons

[GalileoX]

Hello all, I have been away from Orbiter for a while and I am having trouble running a fresh install of Orbiter 2016 with no other addons using Window 10 64x and the zip files. I keep getting a crash to desktop when launching a scenario. My Orbiter Log is pasted below. It shows this error "ERROR: DDraw error DDERR_BLTFASTCANTCLIP" I do not know what to do. I have directx 12 and I have run the vcredit_x86 application so I believe the Runtime libraries are good. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I am not very sure, but I think you should activate the D3D9 Client if you haven't done so. I had too install some DX9 related components which I downloaded from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35

Okay, Thanks. The D3D9 graphics client wasn't a thing the last time I loaded Orbiter Also I changed the screen resolution on the video tab and the DDRAW error went away but I'm still getting a CTD when I try to launch a scenario. I'll install the D3D9 client and see how it goes.

By the way, this is the Log without the DDraw error. I can't see anything helpful.

According to the log, you have selected a 3D device without T&L ("Transform & Lighting") support, which could cause the errors you are seeing. It's also odd that there are three separate video devices present in the system:

• Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000
• Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000 #2
• USB3.0 External Graphics Device

Unfortunately, neither onboard graphics such as Intel HD nor USB graphics devices typically work well with most games. However, the first thing I would try is to select a 3D device that has T&L support (e.g., Direct3D T&L HAL (Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000) (HW)). You can tell that it is working if you see this in the log:

Graphics: Hardware T&L capability: [COLOR="Red"]Yes[/COLOR]

However, that is still no guarantee that it will work with Orbiter -- as I said, many onboard video drivers do not fully support most games.

Nothing seems to be working. I have a Nvidia GeForce GT 650M driver as well as the Intel HD Graphics 4000. I try disabling one and then the other but to no avail. I have changed the screen size resolution setting in both full screen and window views, Window view gets me that DDRAW error.

I had an older install that worked fine but I thought I would start over with a fresh install and now these problems. I am at a loss.
