Re: Bug Report: Windows

As said before in other topics, memory won't unload old scenes.

I can easily push the memory use from 100MB to 300MB by loading the same 2 scenes over and over.

And as I answered in the other thread, set App.maxUndo to something lower.


My work is Phun

Re: Bug Report: Windows

Hello..
Phun 3.12  runs great on my linux Ubuntu 7.10 OS with no known problems
But I'm having a graphics problem with Phun 3.12 under Windows XP
I have the latest drivers for my video card Nvidia GeForce 6800 XT
I tried enabling and disabling the shaders and running Phun under fullscreen and in windowed mode but sadly I have the same results.



http://img358.imageshack.us/img358/9310/bugyw8.jpg
as you can see
the blue object in the top is water
the object to the left is a cloud
and the circle has a hinge in the middle and a fixate in the bottom
also the buttons are corrupted as well sad



Any help is much appreciated.
TY in advance.

Re: Bug Report: Windows

Okay the issue with nVidia is that Phun for whatever reason isn't supported. Try running Phun on half the bit colours.

If you are running windows on 32-bit, set Phun to 16-bit
If you are running on 64-bit set Phun to 32-bit or 16-bit if that fails.

If none of the above work then you'll just have to use Linux.

Thanks for the help smile

the graphics are better now but the shaders aren't working and Phun is running on like 1 FPS lol

Re: Bug Report: Windows

Press F11 and type:

System.minFPS = 12 (or higher)

Might speed things up a little.

Thank you for your fast replies
the command didn't help with how slow Phun was
I appreciate your help
Edit : ___
the FPS only drops when I lower the color Bits to the half
but in regular colors it runs with full FPS

I guess its Ubuntu until any new version solves this problem smile

But couldn't you write scene files to the harddisk instead of putting it in RAM? I like having a lot of undo's, but not when it comes to entire scenes.

Re: Bug Report: Windows

I believe it is the new drivers that cause problems.

Re: Bug Report: Windows

New drivers can never run older games for me which is annoying.

I use a nVidia GeForce 7800 GT and and phun runs fine for me...

Hmmm...I run Phun on a new Dell XPS M1530 laptop with an nVidia GeForce 8600 and it works famously...

Re: Bug Report: Windows

The problem was possibly between the nV drivers and opengl.  I noticed texture overlay problems in google earth that were strikingly similar to the ones in phun, and although switching from opengl to directx rendering solved the problem temporarily, the new beta drivers resolved it completely.  I was using forceware 169.21.  As of this post I'm using 174.20.

You can get beta drivers from downloads.guru3d.com.  I recommend you follow that link and find the latest drivers for your hardware there as opposed to the nvidia site as, although the drivers at guru3d are beta drivers, they often have a number of key problems fixed.  If you're lazy though and don't want to see if any newer drivers are available, these worked for me.  They're the 32 bit drivers.  I'm not posting a link to the 64 bit version because I've only been able to verify that these ones work.  They're not hard to find by using the first link tho'. =]

Now, go play.

Re: Bug Report: Windows

I've got a NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 4000 so I can't use shaders. other than that phun works great

By the way how old is my video card?

Re: Bug Report: Windows

I'm having trouble when it comes to save my scenes. I tried putting the same name (to overwrite the last scene) and different names, but it doesn't save any of my scenes. Is there anything i can do?
Thanks,

Re: Bug Report: Windows

On a few of my scenes, when an object gets to a certain point on the map, it simply disappears! It looks like it is going behind an object that is the same color as the background, but IT'S NOT! I am frustrated and confused. Please! Someone help!

Thanks! cool

Re: Bug Report: Windows

Would be nicer if it just bumped into an imaginary boundary.. instead of vanishing.

Code would be simple:

if the object is near the view, then bump into boundary. Else vanish.
