Cannot Launch the Demo

cubrman

It started with a fatal error when installing DirectX and proceeded into this message upon launching the program:

"Failed to register font." - initialize_render_api() d3d_functions.cpp:567

Any way to fix this? I am on a Windows 10 PC.

I would start by uninstalling the ShaderMap DEMO then follow these steps:

1. Navigate to "C:\Program Files\ShaderMap 3 DEMO" and delete all the files and folders.

2. Navigate to "C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Roaming\SM3" and delete all the files and folders.

3. Reinstall the DEMO.

If you get an error while installing DirectX then I would recommend download the full installer from our website and use that to install the required DirectX libraries.

Still the same, tried everything. DX now installs correctly but the exe still shows the same error.

That is very strange. The error has to do with ShaderMap trying to register the font it uses at runtime. I have attached the TTF font used by ShaderMap to this response. Try installing it on your system to see if that clears things up.
