    Error with a few of the new Samples..

    Reply Quote
    Firstly thanks to XNA team for the new Samples. As always very usefull. I have a recurring problem however. If I try to compile the Chase Camera, TexturesAndColors or Vertex Lighting sample, I always get the following error

    Error    1    Building content threw InvalidOperationException: The FPU is set to the wrong precision. The FBX SDK requires double precision to function properly.

    All other samples compile and work as advertised as far as I could tell.

    The models that seem to cause this error are Ship.fbx and Cube.fbx ( for the shader series ).

    Any ideas?

    Have you got the refresh installed?  See http://forums.xna.com/thread/9932.aspx

    There's been a few reports of this error which we have not really tracked down but at least on person was using the old version. Also try a reboot.

    Hi Z,
      Hmm now that you mention it, maybe I don't. The same sample works fine on my home computer and that definitely has the refresh, but now you have cause me to doubt if I have it on my work machine. I uninstall and re-install and see if the pain persists.

    Ok It seems like my work machine did have the refresh installed, but something was corrupt. I told the installation to do a Repair and everything works fine now.
