'Failed resetting Direct3D device objects' when changing resolution

Hey, I played this game back in beta a long time ago but didn't really get into it much. Ever since full release, some friends wanted me to play with them, so I decided to start playing it again.

However, every time I try to change my resolution or set the game to full screen or borderless window, it'll give me a 'failed resetting direct3d device objects' error and crash. The only way to fix this is to delete my production_config.ini file to reset my settings. Changing any other settings doesn't seem to make the game crash.

I played this perfectly fine a year or two ago, and my rig has been exactly the same since that time. This issue occurs with both the Steam and regular version. I've tried updating my drivers to the latest version, but that hasn't fixed anything.

Specs in case they will come in handy:
Windows 7 64-bit
i7-2600 @ 3.40Ghz
4GB RAM
6970 HD
I'm also running two monitors, if that's relevant.

Are you changing the resolution or "fullscreen" options often?

Or are you just trying to set it once to something and leaving it?

If you're just "leaving it", you should be able to manually set the options in your production_Config.ini file and leaving it.
Thanks, changing it to fullscreen mode in the .ini file seems to work, but I can't get borderless windowed to work without crashing it.

I suppose it'll do for now, unless there is a solution for this.

are you using Windows on the mac using bootcamp or something? How are you trying to play PoE on the mac? Path of Exile is not officially supported on mac in most cases however.
I too am getting this error "Failed resetting Direct 3D device objects" and the crash.
I was trying to change to full screen window mode, so I can alt-tab to my browser, which I can't in full screen mode. Full screen mode, does play though.

Also once in a while (in any screen mode) the game will crash to a black screen, I can hear the music playing still, but my monitor is put to sleep, and the keyboard and mouse stop responding, so there is no way to wake it up (like jiggle the mouse, etc.) The only way to recover is to hard power off the computer.

I have only been playing this game for a few day now, but I must say I am really loving it!
I hope these bugs will be resolved soon, as it will make the playing experience that much better.

Thank you for a great game!

Next time, please create your own thread.

You can try manually changing the settings in the production_Config.ini instead of through the game options.
