The computer I tested it on was x32. It shouldn't make a difference though.

Update - It now includes the SDL library, and I've started experimenting with the accumulation buffer on the explosion particles. I'd like to know a few things from you guys who can run it:
1. after running the program, there should be a stderr.txt in the folder, in it, after the line that says "Egcore started with 800x600 resolution", there should be a line that says "x auxilliary buffers available", tell me what x is.
2. open up program manager and tell me what your average CPU/memory usage is for Etta, and also indicate your processor speed.

I have 2 nVidia 8800 GTSs
I'm running 32-bit Vista Ultimate.
EDIT: Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4 ghz

And I forget the rest. And where or even if I can find it.

Oh, and I updated my drivers and it still crashes. I even tried opening it in eclipse and it crashes.

Vista uses who can run it: are you running x64 vista?

I have x64 vista and it does horrible blue screens for me.

Aintaer · « **Reply #27 on:** August 26, 2008, 06:20:46 PM »

Definitely something between SDL and Vista. Still have no idea what causes it. It seems to strike at random.

Bah, technology is hard.

Okay, new build is up. In this version, I've gone through lots of headache to render to FBOs instead of directly to buffer for easier effects later on. To come: VBOs for even faster rendering!

Once again, please report your CPU and approx. % use. Also, please attach the resulting stderr.txt and stdout.txt.

Still don't think it works for some users. Still don't know why (have a hunch though).

Better than the time Etna's thingy gave me STDs.

Aintaer · « **Reply #32 on:** September 02, 2008, 06:20:47 PM »

McDohl, your graphics card really sucks. At least this gives me something like a bottom line to work with.

IT BROKE MY KNIFE

What were we talking about again?

Aintaer · « **Reply #35 on:** September 02, 2008, 09:30:29 PM »

Hold on, another update is coming up soon to fix a bug with old card compatibility and hopefully improved performance.

Aintaer · « **Reply #36 on:** September 08, 2008, 06:09:51 PM »

Alright, after a week of painful debugging only to have a simple data size mistake pointed out, I give you a somewhat more optimized version: Etta

Once again, please post your CPU usage, memory usage, and try to attach the stderr.txt and stdout.txt generated.
(If your graphics card is an onboard cheapo card, I really need stdout.txt)

Catloaf · « **Reply #37 on:** September 08, 2008, 07:04:47 PM »

yep, it still makes my computer go boom.

Aintaer · « **Reply #38 on:** September 08, 2008, 07:19:47 PM »

Catloaf: I still haven't figured that one out. You'll have to wait for me to find a copy of visual C++ to work this thing.

If Express editions aren't good enough, you can see about getting a free copy through that channel8/dreamspark shit.
