  • I download Fx composer 2.5,when i open it, there are some errors in the Tasksbar.
    1.Failed to valiodate technique:Simple.2.Unknown OpenGL profile:vp30.

    When i double clicked one of errors, it shows the detial:
    Can't load file 'internal#FXDeviceEffect_CG'.Verify that it is not locked by another funning process.

    And if i add a effect like phone_bump_reflection, it don't like it should be,just some wire:

  • I'm not sure what the fix for your error is but I think I can explain what those errors mean.

    I believe when it says Can't load file 'internal#FXDeviceEffect_CG' it's refering to the current project that you have open is trying to load an effect from inside the file 'internal.dae' this normally is located in the same folder as your project file. Inside that file is a technique called 'FXDeviceEffect_CG' and something in this technique will not parse properly and is making an effect which will not render in the viewport, this is why your effect is not rendering properly.

    This could be to do with your second error 'Unknown OpenGL profile: vp30' This refers to your graphics card having the extension 'NV_vertex_program2'. Which I think is enabled if your OpenGL version is 1.3 or higher.

    Do other effects work ok?
  • I also had exactly your problem. After tinkering around I found that the CG effects work in OpenGL renderer but not in DirectX. The HLSL effect are opposite. I thought that CG was designed to be cross platform so I've probably got some configuration wrong.
