FG console error/crash when running GM and client instances

[Uthred]

I've seen this issue reported in the forums, but what worked for others does not work for me. I just updated to FG v2.8.1; what I've done in the past is launch FG as host, then launch another instance and connect as a client via localhost. Used to always work with no problem, but now I get numerous console errors of "Runtime Error: D3DXCreateTexture failed - D3DPOOL_MANAGED", followed by FG crashing.

Interestingly, this does not happen with the Call of Cthulhu or Savage Worlds rulesets; only with the 3.5E and 4E rulesets.

I tried deleting the cache - nothing. I also read that this used to happen when FG was minimized, but the latest update no longer allows FG to be minimized.

Any help would be appreciated!

I've only seen that error message when one of the FG windows is minimized. Make sure that both windows are visible on the screen when you connect. If that's not the case, then this is a new one for me.
