Sys3de and D3DERR_INVALIDCALL errors

[Cookies_Fo'_Breakfast]

My game was working for months and now all of a sudden I get a black flickering screen with two error messages, those being: sys3de and D3DERR_INVALIDCALL. I also get these errors with Hotel Giant.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

It is difficult to find any concrete information on the problem, and I do not have this issue.

That said, from what I've read there are some things that could potentially cause it - moving the game to a new location, not having the resolution set correctly, or having bad drivers.

So - if you moved the game to a different location, try moving it back.

If you were messing around with the resolution, try setting it back if possible.

The configuration files can be found here:

Try deleting CONFIG.DAT, and if that doesn't work, the VCONFIG.DAT files.

If none of that works, try reinstalling the drivers for your video card.
