Patch 1.9: nel_drv_direct3d_win is more recent than the application

[browserice]

I started Ryzom today and it patched itself successfully. Upon restarting Ryzom (from patch screen), it failed to go anywhere and this popup below appeared :

nel_drv_direct3d_win is more recent than the application


only 2 buttons:

Exit and HELP (by the way, clicking the Help button brought me to this specific thread)



I did a forum search and no one seam to have reported this error.

Googleing on this message only reveals this link:

I re-downloaded Ryzom and installed it.
RUnning it started a patch process.
Starting the game, I could see the graphics for the login process was changed and also, for some weird reason, in the top right corner it says 1.91 instead of 1.90

The game started. First thing I did was changing the options (i had not replaced the cfg files). The game was in full screen so I changed it to windowed and when I maximized the window, it crashed on a direct3d STOP action.

I did not have time to check further. I will check it further either tonight or tomorrow.

Have you compiled/installed Ryzom Core on your PC ?

If yes, you should have a NeL "lib" folder in your path and it could create conflicts with your official client.
