Are you certain you can't solve whatever problem you're facing using only the main game applicaiton?

comment How to prevent GraphicsDevice from being disposed when applying new settings?
Inside the main Update method. Anyway, this also happens when resizing the window, so I don't think the problem is in the method's location.

Just did and it doesn't get called ever again after the first time when the game starts.

I placed RenderTarget2D creation inside the Draw method because the game allows to change its window size, which means it will result in an error if the render target is suddenly of different size than expected, so to avoid it, it's set each main Draw call. I'm gonna run a test with LoadContent now.

comment How do I pause the redraw in XNA?
If you're familiar with XNA, you'll know that returning right at the start of main Draw method causes a purple color to be drawn to the viewport. What I'd like to do is to keep the last drawn image (i.e. not refresh it until required).

@Stig-RuneSkansgård I'll try to get my hands on another desktop pc capable of running Hidef profile XNA apps to test this. I don't ever intentionally dispose of my graphics device, it happens all of a sudden during applying settings. It can take some time and varies from the first try to maybe a hundred sometimes.

comment PC hangs for 1 second, every 30 seconds, while playing TF2. Does not occur with newer games
I've seen like three over the course of my 1800 hours of gameplay, but I last played like a year ago, so situation might have changed a bit. You can always report hackers on their steam page, they're usually pretty quickly dealt with.

@Stig-RuneSkansgård unupdated reference? Are you sure this is even possible? Could you describe how it can be happening?

I had this very same issue on both Windows XP, Windows 7, and even on a virtual machine on a clean installation of Win7 and nothing but Steam. This is certainly the game's problem.

There is some strange texture-related bug in the game that causes the textures to mess up after that long freeze on most pre-Win7 computers. It can also cause BSODs occasionally. I was having this problem in a lot of incarnations, but when I moved to Win7 it stopped messing up textures, though still sometimes it causes BSOD. I don't think this is something that can be fixed by any options, it might be in the structure of the game engine.

comment How do I continue playing Soul Reaver on PS1 when it hangs?
In Spyro it happened to me like four times, in a specific spot. Not sure about the other spots, it hasn't happened to me in years there. In Soul Reaver it has a lot of places because of the game's continuous level design throughout most of the game. And I do still play my other old games on ps1, yes, including Soul Reaver.

I mean I still play Spyro on my ps1 sometimes, and I remember there's a similar issue in some levels with the same solution.

That was a quick downvote and a close vote. Care to help improve the question?
