At least the native call swapchain->present dows not return that error code (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/d3d9/nf-d3d9-idirect3dswapchain9-present). I did not look decisively into all the native calls behind D3DRTTexture#readPixels.

This version seems like a straight-forward fix, so if it resolves the problem, it may well be the best option. It uses the existing well-tested logic to reinitialize once the graphics device reports that it is OK again.

We can discuss your findings regarding your "version 2" when you are ready, but we would need a pretty compelling reason to want to make any intrusive changes.
