Re: DirectX driver issues in windows 10 I purchased Version 5.2.2 from Amazon on 27 September 2016 and have spent many successful hours developing furniture layouts for my house. Now I need to modify some rooms. When I started up the application I was notified about the available software update and using the Amazon.fr site to get the update. Once I had installed the 5.6 version I got the fatal error warning concerning DirectX and OpenGL updates needed for my graphics card. I have followed many discussions online regarding this error and have followed the Sweet Home 3D FAQ advice. None of this works. Next step was to go back to the original 5.2 version I had. This I downloaded from Source Forge. This version had the same fatal error as the 5.6 version. Next step was to download and install the 5.3 version since this version was reputed to solve this particular fatal error. AND behold version 5.3 runs without any fatal errors and I can now open my last layout files. BUT, the library of available objects in the 5.3 version downloaded from source forge is minimalist and is missing many of the objects I have used in my layout files (.sh3d files). So having paid for the full copy I am now stuck with the free copy that has few usable objects to drag into my layouts. Clearly the fatal error is tied into the Sweet Home 3D install files and how these work (or more precisely DO NOT work) with Windows 10 64 bit operating systems. From all the discussions on this subject many people have suffered extensively from this combination of fatal errors under Windows10. Some have found solutions (like me with the source forge version 5.3) but it is crystal clear that the problem lies with the Sweet Home 3D install packages. So now I have two questions: 1. How do I get the 5.6 version, with a full set of available objects in the libraries, working on my Windows 10, DirectX 11, Java 8 RTE (I have also tried Java 9 RTE but that made no difference to the fatal error) PC. Please do not point me to your FAQ. I have tried all that and it does not work. 2. If there’s no way to get the 5.6 version running on my system, how can I get hold of the object libraries that I had and paid for with Version 5.2.2? Cheers Ian |
