What?

A new version has been released on May15th.
You can download it from downloads page, make sure you don't use a mirror for now.

Opps, I was looking at the date and the release thread, didn't see the announcement. But that is the only good news, the bad news is the problem is still there - memory address where it breaks is different now. Here is what I have:

Environment:

- Windows XP Pro SP3 x32
- Visual Studio 2008 Pro
- Intel Core 2 Q6600
- Logitech MX1000 and Logitec MX Air
- Logitech Cordless Desktop Pro
- ATi 3850 PCIe 256MB and ATi X1950Pro PCIe 256MB
- Dell 1x 2405FPW and 2x 2001FP (all have USB ports, 2405 has memory card reader - no memory cards inserted. 2405 has the MX Air USB receiver plugged in)

- I have no removable memory stick or hard drive plugged in
- Debug and Release version of the build
- I am using the CPP DLL version of the lib

Error Message:

   Unhandled exception at 0x0048e4a3 in Sandbox.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation writing location 0x014b1000.

You need to download the new LicenseSign and recreate your licenses -- make sure you've done that as well.

Yes, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the sdk and license sign (all new versions from the site - not the mirrors). Here is a small program that work without the license and cause "Unhandled exception at 0x100f4d70 in SampleTV3D.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000054." with the license file. It crashes on the "gvEngine->Init3DWindowed(gWin, true);" line.

Please let me know if I am not initializing something properly.

Code:

#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0500
#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
#include <windows.h>
#include "CTVEngine.h"
#pragma comment(lib, "TV3D65.lib")

CTVEngine *gvEngine = NULL;
HWND gWin;
bool bRunning = false;
MSG msg;

LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hWnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
switch (message)
{
case WM_DESTROY:
bRunning = false;
PostQuitMessage(0);
break;
default:
return DefWindowProc(hWnd, message, wParam, lParam);
}
return 0;
}

int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,
   HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
   LPSTR lpCmdLine,
   int nShowCmd)
{
msg.message = NULL;

WNDCLASSEX wc = { sizeof(WNDCLASSEX), CS_CLASSDC, WndProc, 0L, 0L,
  GetModuleHandle(NULL), NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,
  "TV3D65 Sandbox", NULL};
wc.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)(COLOR_WINDOW);
wc.hCursor = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW);
RegisterClassEx(&wc);

gWin = CreateWindow(
"TV3D65 Sandbox",
"TV3D65 Sandbox",
WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU,
100, 100,
640,
480,
NULL,
NULL,
wc.hInstance,
NULL);

if (gWin == NULL)
{
MessageBox(
NULL,
"Engine unable to create main window.",
"Engine Fatal Error", MB_OK | MB_ICONERROR);
return -1;
}

ShowWindow(gWin, 1);
UpdateWindow(gWin);
SetFocus(gWin);
ShowCursor(TRUE);

gvEngine = new CTVEngine();
gvEngine->Init3DWindowed(gWin, true);

bRunning = true;
while (bRunning)
{
gvEngine->Clear(false);
gvEngine->RenderToScreen();

if (PeekMessage( &msg, NULL, 0, 0, TRUE ))
{
TranslateMessage( &msg );
DispatchMessage( &msg );
}

Sleep(0);
}

gvEngine->ReleaseAll();

return 0;
}

PS. While the presentation went well, there were questions as to "What is TV3D?" and "Is that part of your company logo that will always be there?". Please, find a solution to this, I beg you.

My work PC (Pentium D, Dell, GeForce 7900) also crashes when the license is generated.

[SylvainTV]

You're not lucky then. This system works for other 99% people
Your code is fine. Yes we will find a solution !
I'm going to send a debug dll tomorrow to help seeing what could be wrong

(Glad that your presentation went well, you could have generated a signed .exe, not developer license for it, to not have the logo )

[azherdev]

I tried creating the application license, and it does nothing. Watermark is still there. 

I am possibly the unluckiest guy.
