"Access Violation"

[stickboy776]

I've been trying to figure out how to solve this, i'm guessing its not my computer because I can run other programs, but every time I play a game I get a window titled Access Violation that reads: While processing graphics data an exception occured you may need to restart the emulator.

What can I do to fix this?

You can try to use a different Graphics plugin. The Jabo DirectX 6 plugin, Glide64 Napalm, and Rice Video plugins...

Jabo DirectX 6 plugin comes with PJ64.
Glide64 Napalm is here
Rice Video is here

Switch to Jabo's Direct3D6 plugin, and see if that helps. This kind of error message is common with integrated graphics chips, especially those made by Intel.

No no, you mean DirectX 8 plugin (for Project64 1.6)

Funnily enough I was getting the exact same error with PJ64 1.7 whenever I played Banjo Tooie with Jabo plugin.....I have an nvidia geforce 8600GT, and it turned out that through replicating the error I found out that it would seem that enabling X2 SAI in Banjo Tooie causes this exception error.....granted I have widescreen, high resolution, high anti aliasing and texture filtering and all the rest of it on too, but it can handle all that no problem....it only slowed down and ultimately quite quickly gave this fault when SAI was enabled....with SAI turned off, although I am still testing, it seems fine. I havnt had the crash once yet.

But shunting to another graphics plugin would be the first port of call since it's the easiest and least time consuming option. But not without it's detractions, since you use one plugin over another one for reasons. And using different ones brings with it some minuses.

never seen you on the pj64 beta board.

I swear, someone should just nuke Intel's integrated graphics department and let the professionals do the job. My laptop (see sig for specs) can barely play QUAKE.

It isn't Intel that people should nuke, they're just doing business as usual. The real culprits are big computer manufacturers (HP, etc.) that strike deals with Intel in order to get their graphics chips into their desktop and laptop computers, and then sell these packages as "cutting-edge gaming machines" to the consumer.

Intel's chips are ridiculously cheap to produced compared to ATi's and Nvidia's line of graphics cards. Intel gets tons of chips sold, and computer manufacturers save tons of money by using integrated parts.
