ERROR_GRAPHICS_ALLOCATION_BUSY
ERROR_GRAPHICS_ALLOCATION_BUSY (0xC0262102) means the allocation is still busy, usually because the GPU or another graphics operation is using it. This is a synchronization condition rather than an indication that the resource is corrupt.
What to check
- Wait for the appropriate fence, query, or completion signal before reusing or modifying the allocation.
- Avoid CPU-side busy loops that repeatedly submit the same operation without waiting for progress.
- Review resource ownership and synchronization if the allocation stays busy indefinitely.
