Crash Upon FAF Client Create Game Start Up - ID3DXEffectCompiler: Compilation failed
-
@DrColtraine Just a shot in the dark, but could you try adding /D3D9 to the command line and see if that resolves it?
-
different error come up.

Please attach the whole error and the log. The screenshots unfortunately dont offer enough information.

Please avoid pasting large stack traces directly into messages. Instead, attach the error logs as a file for easier review.
However, you have a wrong command line. Try this line:
"%s" /D3D9Edit: I just noticed in your previous messages that you tried both command lines. If it doesnt work, then I am out of ideas - sorry!
-
have try copy command line and creating the game but but still doesn't work. I've attach the log file just in case you need a log.

I am experiencing the exact same TEXCOORD1 / (particle.fx or mesh.fx) compilation error on my new PC Win 11. I've tried all the standard fixes with no success: cleaning gamedata caches, windowed mode, clean reinstalls of both FA and the FAF client, driver updates, DX9 files updates, and even a clean install of Windows 10.
Symptoms:
- Game crashes during lobby initialization with the log like TS provided.
- Occasionally, the lobby loads with a "Connecting..." hang or a broken, non-interactive UI.
Note: Vanilla Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance runs perfectly fine.The "Background Game" Workaround:
I've discovered a strange but consistent workaround: If I launch another modern game first (not every game, but e.g., Tiny Glade, Frostpunk, or X4 Foundations) and leave it running at the main menu (no need to play this game), I can Alt-Tab back to the FAF client and launch into a lobby without any crashes. Everything works perfectly as long as that other game is open... o_O
It seems like having another 3D application active forces the GPU/DirectX into a state that allows FAF to compile its shaders correctly. Hopefully, this helps others play or assists in pinning down the root cause. -
@lv-426 Are you playing on a laptop? Those can switch between integrated and dedicated graphics cards.
-
@magge No, I have a desktop with the only one display adapter: RTX4090.
-
Possible things to try (preferably on Windows 11 with the latest updates and newest drivers):
-
Prefer maximum performance and select the high-performance GPU for your graphic card.
-
Clear NVIDIA shader caches (DXCache / GLCache)
-
Reinstall DirectX 9
-
Run Supreme Commander in window mode, not just alt+tab it into the background
-
Disable full screen optimizations for SC

(Advanced) Some people, including myself a few years ago, have had good results with multi-monitor setups using dgVoodoo2. It may also help resolve your issue even on a single monitor:

If you have trouble understanding the suggestions, or AI does not help you out, just create a new support thread and 'imme a ping.
