DirectX 11 SpriteFont - Vertex Shader linkage error

[George1993]

I'm trying to render text in my DX11 project, by using SpriteFont and SpriteBatch.

Everything worked before adding the code in, but when the code in uncommented, I get the following error and nothing renders.

D3D11 ERROR: ID3D11DeviceContext::DrawIndexed: Input Assembler - Vertex Shader linkage error: Signatures between stages are incompatible. Semantic 'TEXCOORD' is defined for mismatched hardware registers between the output stage and input stage. [ EXECUTION ERROR #343: DEVICE_SHADER_LINKAGE_REGISTERINDEX]
D3D11 ERROR: ID3D11DeviceContext::DrawIndexed: Input Assembler - Vertex Shader linkage error: Signatures between stages are incompatible. The input stage requires Semantic/Index (POSITION,0) as input, but it is not provided by the output stage. [ EXECUTION ERROR #342: DEVICE_SHADER_LINKAGE_SEMANTICNAME_NOT_FOUND]
D3D11 ERROR: ID3D11DeviceContext::DrawIndexed: Input Assembler - Vertex Shader linkage error: Signatures between stages are incompatible. The input stage requires Semantic/Index (NORMAL,0) as input, but it is not provided by the output stage. [ EXECUTION ERROR #342: DEVICE_SHADER_LINKAGE_SEMANTICNAME_NOT_FOUND] 

I have tried to change the DeviceContext & Device, but still the same error.

        //Global Variables
std::unique_ptr<SpriteBatch>g_spriteBatch;
std::unique_ptr<SpriteFont>	g_spriteFont;


	//Draw Text
	g_spriteBatch = std::make_unique<SpriteBatch>(g_pImmediateContext);
	g_spriteFont = std::make_unique<SpriteFont>(g_pd3dDevice1, L"Data\\game_font.spritefont");

	//Render Text
	g_spriteBatch->Begin();
	//g_spriteFont->DrawString(g_spriteBatch.get(), L"Score: 0", XMFLOAT2(0,0), DirectX::Colors::White);
	g_spriteBatch->End();

I've tried using different Devices and DeviceContext's, but still the same error.

I'm no expert with DX11, but this sounds like a problem with your shader programs. Please post them.

You may also consider asking elsewhere, because DirectX's shading language (HLSL?) is not C++.
