[Solved] D3DXERR_INVALIDDATA in GameImage.LoadTexture

[Ezra]

When I try to start the tutorial, I get an unhandled error as described in the attached UnhandledErrors.txt.
SlimDX.Direct3D9.Direct3D9Exception: D3DXERR_INVALIDDATA: Invalid data (-2005529767)

Looks like it's something to do with loading the textures.


I downloaded from Steam, which updated my DirectX and downloaded SlimDX. I also just updated my video card drivers. Game Version 2.0, demo, Windows 7.

Edit: Added DxDiag.txt.

Redit: It was a corrupted install through Steam.
Right-click the game -> Properties -> Local files -> Verify integrity of game cache.

Thanks to Morello who figured it out, to Revenantus who was very patient and helpful, and to TheWord1 and Diazo who helped out too.

Resolved. This issue was caused by a corrupt file resulting from the Steam install. Credits to Morello for suggesting the fix.

Just to expand on the fix, with all Steam games you can verify the game files to make sure that none are corrupt. To do this, right click on the game in steam, select properties, then select the local files tab, and click on verify integrity of game cache. Steam will check the files and if any are corrupt it should tell you and re-download them.

just in case you didn't yet,
error trap and instead post a useful message, like re-validify files
