I am new to Banished modding but have been playing the game for some time. I am attempting to install and play with the mod kit (version 1.0.7.170910), but am having an issue whenever Tools-x64.exe is called. I have placed the tools in D:\BanishedKit and have copied data0.pkg, data1.pkg, patch0.pkg, and patch1.pkg to the WinData folder. I have installed and reinstalled DirectX runtimes and VS 2012 Redist. I have updated video drivers (and have no other problems with other games) and installed the francophilSans font.
I am on Windows 7 x64 and when I open a command prompt (as admin) and attempt to run the BuildResources.bat as described in the documentation, I get the following message in a dialog box:
Assert: hr == D3D_OK && _device != NULL Failed to create D3D device!
Video\VideoDevice_dx9.cpp(296)
Callstack:
VideoDX9-x64-profile.dll(0x00000000f4f57543)
Runtime-x64-profile.dll(0x00000000eb20e949)

kernel32.dll(0x0000000076e3570d)
ntdll.dll(0x0000000076f9385d)
After playing around, it seems anytime Tools-x64.exe is launched it causes this message. I can run the developer Application-x64-profile.exe.
Any thoughts?
Oh, if I switch to DX11 I get this instead:
Assert: VideoDX11: Failed to create color buffer with format DXGI_FORMAT_B8G8R8A8_UNORM [116x0 2xAA]

I know the problem some setups can have.
It is probably not your graphics driver or your card.
It can manifest itself because of...? I don't know.
Here is a link to a discussion on Steam.

The solution there is the same as on Shining Rock's homepage for some similar problems

I have never heard of this problem in the modkit, but try to change the resolution.
(You can change back later. The game has to update itself).
That did it. You are awesome! :)
:) Great!
