4K Shooter

[Abuse]

thats a sweet game  . it has some cool ways of doing things, like the event handling code i like it.. im finally into physics in science (lol in grade 10, so science is a mix of bio, chem and physics) so i will be able to understand more of your physics code.

I can only run the SE version... i take it i cant run the non SE version because of my graphics card? i think you told me why already, but i forget if it was my card or drivers..? (dont laugh ) NVidia TNT 2 is that the problem?

I honestly don't know, I was under the impression the experimental flags enabled hardware acceleration through D3D on *all* windows machines [if the hardware supported it].
(and to my knowledge, there is no reason why an nvidia TNT 2 wouldn't be able to support hardware alpha compositing)

Perhaps 1 of the Sun folk can shed some light on exactly what hardware capabilities are required for the experimental acceleration to work?

hi

the game is really fun to play with great graphics, but after 30 seconds my computer reboots, i have tried it 5 times and it reboots every time, but not after the exact time each time i try it. Its between 10 and 30 seconds before it reboots.
if it helps, here is the spec:

p4 2.4
512mb ram
asus p4p 800 deluxe mainboard
radeon 9800 pro 128mb ram
windows xp enterprise
with 6.14.10.6404 display driver

Set your computer to not reboot when it gets a blue screen of death.  There might be something interesting on the bluescreen that you aren't seeing. (Likely the graphics drivers crashing)

The game runs so f***ing fast ito the point it's unplayable

Sounds like you arn't getting a vsync'ed BufferStrategy :-/
(I use the vsync for framerate limiting)

What machine are you running it on Java Cool Dude?

As for your bluescreen zulo, that sounds like something is pretty screwed somewhere :/
Are you running the version with the blurry effects? (not the SE version)
If so, then try the SE version.
If the SE version doesn't crash, its something to do with D3D. I would say you either have buggy or corrupt drivers/DirectX install.
If the SE version crashes as well..... then direct draw is buggy and/or corrupt

Either way, you should probably reinstall your display drivers & direct X (and check for any newer versions :/)

Very weird :-/

I don't see any reason why that configuration would return a non-sycn'ed strategy :S

This is on a Windows box isn't it?

[Java Cool Dude]

Yup

[Java Cool Dude]

Never mind me, I had VSync set to always off

[kevglass]

Coo, can you get a vsynced buffer strategy in windowed mode?

bah, My drivers only allow me to specify vsync for opengl applications, not directX
(and even then, there is no 'always on' option, only 'always off', 'default to off', and 'default to on')

Can you have a try at getting a vsync'ed windowed Java app. Java Cool Dude.

ok, is this possible to do or are you kidding?
does anyone know how to set windows xp to show the bluescreen?


I reinstalled jre1.4.2 and now it works perfect..

It may differ between versions of windows, but here its something like:
Control Panel->System->Advanced tab->Startup and recovery.
