D2DERR_INVALID_CALL

D2DERR_INVALID_CALL is a general Direct2D validation failure. The method was invoked with an argument combination, object relationship, or execution state that the API does not permit.

How to narrow it down

Check the exact method contract, including nullable parameters, resource ownership, and required options.
Verify that all objects belong to compatible factories, devices, and resource domains.
Use the Direct2D debug layer in a development environment to obtain more specific diagnostics.

Unlike a device-loss result, this normally requires correcting the call sequence or arguments before retrying.
