Hi JTimm

 

nice work on the fullscreen feature. That seems to work perfectly.

Question: is the video that is attached to the cube supposed to be playing smoothly? Because it doesn't when I run it. It stutters a lot and the sound seems to be stuck in a 4 second loop.

 

My FPS is around 34-35. Card: nVidia 9600 GT

and

My FPS is around 47-48. Card: nVidia 9600 GT (SLI enabled)

[flachdrache]

Hey great - so i assume non issue on win7.

 

All should run smoothly, though - please delete the openAL.dll and try again (left the dll for non leadwerksSDK users).

If it still stutters, please download following exe, rename the old exe and copy the new one in the folder.

 

[edit] see first post for link

 

thx

[AggrorJorn]

The new exe increases the framerate a little but the result of the movie is the same. It looks like the movie plays at a very rapid speed instead of a stutter.

[MrIslomaniac]

Hey JT

FPS is about 30

Render device: GeForce 9600 GT/PCI/SSE2

video and sound just as aggror said a minute ago

fullscreen does not work here =(

WGL returned bad format - emergency shutdown

 

hope this helpy you =)

[AggrorJorn]

I have the same result on my other computer but the result is the same.

 

here is a video recording:

Please try again [edit] see first post for link

 

Guess i need kind of an speedLimiter. The new exe "should" get rid of stuttering at least.

If there is an windowsXP compatibility mode please test it.

 

@ MrIslomaniac

- fullscreen is now bound to 1280x960. The 1280x720 resolution should work too, tbh. Might be a driver issue.

 

PS: save a currentBuffer to *.png with "ENTER".

 

thx

[AggrorJorn]

Unfortunately no good results. Both on XP mode and vista mode I get the same result: for full screen and not full screen.

 

There seems to be something wrong with the water to. If you look at the reflection of the windmill you will notice it is not reflecting correctly.

 

 

[MrIslomaniac]

fullscreen works now, but the video and sound don't =(

[flachdrache]

Jepp, right - reflaction is upside down like the curentRender, hehehe.

 

As for the video rendering ahead - ill release the source soon and we can think about a solution later.

 

@ MrIslomaniac - your specs please ...

 

Sorry for the noise so far.

 

 

 

 

Please report any other issue.

 

thx

[Richard Simpson]

Ah, yeah I get the same issues, i'm getting about 26fps. My graphics card is a Nvidia 9600 GT.

 

Im far from a programmer xD. but I remember this while trying to learn. is the video using that appspeed command? the one you use when displaying FPS? And would that even help?

[flachdrache]

Nope, - in the sample (not fullscreen) call up your taskMan with alt-stg-entf, find the sample`s process and just assign two cores to the app (by rightClick-assign). I assumed this is what windowsXP compatibility mode does but i might be wrong.

 

 

 

[edit] any strange FPS drops with aero etc. ?

 

 

 

Please report any other issue.

 

thx

[omid3098]

I got 20-30 in window mode and almost 6-7 with fullscreen mode.

sounds was strange?

my specs are in my sig..

[flachdrache]

@omid3098

which comp in your sig ... cant think of any reason for just 6-7 FPS in fullscreen atm.

 

[all] last try to fix the video_playback_speed w/o bugging the main loop too much

FullscreenFix_Bin - latest release.

 

However, please try the initial released ^Link^ first.

 

thx,

i was a little worried about the window and fullscreen switching - the actual scene and renderer features

i have thrown in, to make it not too boring e.g. the lag you guys experience is because of how I added the

videotexture.

[omid3098]

first pc

your latest release id 28kb?!

[AggrorJorn]

is only the exe. place it the project folder and rename the old exe.

[omid3098]

oops!

now it works fine.. normal window ~ 40

full screen ~37

[flachdrache]

Heh, ok - solved. My 3d headphone_soundcard aint having the sound issue but my old 5.1 soundcard has (yea, who would had guessed -> hardware).

Beside getting rid of pre-rendered frames and optimisations ... disable "hardware acceleration" under the audio->system-property tab.

[flachdrache]

Ill have a source relase by the end of this week afaik (ca. 07.16.2010).

 

[edit] just have to strip out redundant and w.i.p code, tbh.

[DaDonik]

105-120 fps, both in windowed and fullscreen mode.

Spec in signature

[Roland]

Windowed - 42 fps

Full screen - 39 fps

[flachdrache]

Uploaded the project source.

 

PS : any bug fixes, mainly for the sound issue, is welcome

thx

[Raul]

Problems here:

1. the sound was very... jerky; abrupt.

2. from time to time (like 7 sec) the scene freeze for a sec

 

FPS in window: 59
