Author Topic: Touhou 10.5: application is blocked for access to graphics hardware  (Read 2992 times)

When I play Story Mode, at some point during the fight with Tenshi (if I have to fight Tenshi in the character's Story Mode), somewhere during the 2nd or 3rd spellcard, the game closes itself and I get this error message:

Application is blocked for access to graphics hardware

It obviously forces me to start my Story Mode over but the error keeps on occuring. It also only happens during the fight with Tenshi in Story Mode. Is there any way to fix this? (I'm using Windows 10 and I'm not planning to switch to a different version of Windows or buy a new video card)

On a side note, IaMP closes itself after one stage in Story Mode with no error message or anything. I need to get that also fixed and I uses the dx8 to dx9 converter so I have no idea on it.

That's weird. What GPU do you have? Are your drivers up to date?
Are you using the English patch?
Have you tried Compatibility Mode?
