Okay... this is weird. Here's the line of code I'm using: D3DX.LoadSurfaceFromMemory ucSurf, ByVal 0&, iRect, bytes(0), D3DFMT_DXT5, lPitch, ByVal 0&, iRect, 0, 0 What I'm trying to do is load a .dds file with DX8. lPitch is loaded from the file, ucSurf is a surface obtained with GetSurfaceLevel on a texture I've created of my pre-defined size. (256x256) The format of the texture is A4R4G4B4, the dds file is DXT5. I've already checked, and A4R4G4B4 enumerates just fine. I also tried testing this on a surface created with CreateImageSurface, and got the same results. I know the problem is in this Load call. Now here's the weird part. Notice that for the Filter variable, I pass 0. After I read your post, I decided to try switching that to D3DX_FILTER_NONE, just for the heck of it, even tho they're supposed to be identical. With 0, I get an automation error and can debug as normal. With D3DX_FILTER_NONE, VB crashes without displaying any error. It simply shuts down VB when I run my program. Is this my problem? An incorrect Filter argument? This isn't making much sense to me. Thanks for all the help so far. :)
