I have an application where the resolution of my render window can be changed. To resize my render window I need to re-initialize the D3DDevice which in turn requires me to re-load all my textures. I was wondering if anyone knew a good way to do this. For instance, since I have already loaded the textures into memory, is there a way that I can grab them from memory instead of having to load them from the disk again? Thanks in advance sormjs

This might help.

Well, as Dave stated you could do a Reset(display_parameters) call, but make sure you call

Quote:

OnDeviceLoss() to release the resource before the device reset
OnDeviceReset() to recreate the resource after the device reset

for the proper resources, or it will cause your game to crash.

Best of luck.

You're not putting *all* of your textures into D3DPOOL_DEFAULT, are you?
