Renderer #0 failure bug.

[Nextil]

I'm having the same problem. I'll turn the computer on, launch the game, sometimes it gives the Renderer #0 error, so I have to launch it again. I set my settings in the launcher, but the game forgets them. I set them in-game, restart, the FPS is HORRIBLE. I'm using the 1680 x 1050 resolution, which seems to be key to the problem. I have a decent card (Nvidia GTX 260), so that isn't the problem. I found that if I disable my second monitor and Aero, the game runs well after a reboot ( > 90 FPS ). After a variable amount of time however, the game slows back down ( < 25 FPS, or sometimes < 5 FPS ). Restarting the game doesn't help at that point, only a full reboot. I'll get a log if that would help.

Also, I have the newest nVidia Driver, the newest version of DirectX, OpenAL, everything that you seem to think is the problem. The problem is definitely in YOUR code. I've never had a problem like this with any game, even with those utilizing OpenGL.
