Incompatibility problems Irrlicht - Sysmetrix

General Failure · Post by **General Failure** » Sun Feb 17, 2008 5:10 pm

Hi everyone.

This is my first week playing with the engine and i had some trouble with certain demos (CC Level demo for example), they did not run smoothly in window mode. Full screen worked fine.

I tried several configurations and finaly decided to turn off stuff. It seems that Sysmetrix and Irrlicht do not like each other.

Any ideas of what's the problem or how to solve it (besides turning sysmetrix off)?, I don't belive is a hardware problem, my box runs a 8800GT, 4GB ram and a 6750 Code2 Duo processor.

Thank you and sorry for my English.

well this is caused in the most cases cause your windowed game is not the only one wich uses that screen. Several other programs also use that screen wich has windows / window background / media player with visualization maybe etc. When you're in fullscreen the focus is more on your program than on those background tasks.

so in very crewl words. In fullscreen you don't share the inout and video card with other programs. (this is not 100% ofcourse

)
