ERROR_GRAPHICS_ALLOCATION_CLOSED
ERROR_GRAPHICS_ALLOCATION_CLOSED (0xC0262112) means the caller referenced an allocation after it was permanently closed. This is a resource-lifetime error, often caused by stale handles or asynchronous work that outlived the resource owner.
What to check
- Ensure queued GPU work cannot refer to resources after their final release or close operation.
- Invalidate cached handles when the owning device, swap chain, or adapter is destroyed.
- After adapter reset, rebuild the resource graph from the new device state.
