#PB_2DDrawing_FastText
If this flag is set then the DrawText() and DrawRotatedText() commands will use a faster text rendering method but with less precise unicode support (Windows only).

When I use this mode, I see a slight difference in performance, but no visual difference. I don't really ...

Thank you RASHAD!

The problem is that it's very glitchy when used with a screen:


If InitSprite() = #Null
MessageRequester("Error", "InitSprite failed.", #PB_MessageRequester_Error)
End
EndIf

#_WINDOW_WIDTH = 720
#_WINDOW_HEIGHT = 640
OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, #_WINDOW_WIDTH, #_WINDOW_HEIGHT, "", #PB_Window ...

I don't see the ScreenGadget doc in the gadget section of the manual (F1)?
Is it normal that compiling a program now opens a console window?

I'm glad it's working now, but, did they give any techinical explanation on why the overlay interfered with your game code making it slower?


No they just said that I cannot do it from my side. Maybe a specific library of PB? Honestly, I don't think they investigated anything. Some people on ...

Update: Steam support has deactivated the overlay from my game, and it now works as intended! Hurray! (3 weeks to do that!)

Is there any way to change (temporarily) the mouse cursor while using hardware mouse and a windowed screen? (on Windows)


SetClassLong_(hWnd, #GCL_HCURSOR, LoadCursor_(0, #IDC_HAND))


This doesn't work.

SOLVED:


SetClassLongPtr_(WindowID(0), #GCL_HCURSOR, 0)
SetCursor_(LoadCursor_(0, #IDC ...

To be clear, it doesn't change anything. It's not only loading times, everything is slower. But loading times, because of how CPU intensive they are, are the most obvious slow downs.

miso wrote: Mon Dec 08, 2025 8:47 am Well, thats a good news then.

Not at all, it didn't change anything (you might have misread)

Quick update: I've made a "screen" version of my game (hardware accelerated), and now the Steam overlay works and you can see the FPS at the top right corner of the screen, but the problem isn't fixed, because loading times (the most obvious slow downs) are still longer when the game is launched ...

I've been doing it like this for years with no problem:



OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 720, 640, "", #PB_Window_ScreenCentered | #PB_Window_SystemMenu)

#mouse_wheel_up=-1
CompilerIf #PB_Compiler_Processor=#PB_Processor_x64
#mouse_wheel_down=-545
CompilerElse
#mouse_wheel_down=1
CompilerEndIf ...

Doesn't work with me. EventwParam() is always 0. We go through a callback here, so WParam must be used. But the previous example works fine.

EDIT: Actually no, the example of RASHAD doesn't work when I go too fast. But yours work all the time, so thank you!

Hi
You can try
Windows x64

If Message = #WM_MOUSEWHEEL
value = wParam >> 24
If value = 0
Debug "up"
ElseIf value = 255
Debug "down"
EndIf
EndIf



Yep, that works, thank you! I don't know anything about this topic, but there's always some low level games like Dwarf Fortress that don't ...

OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 720, 640, "", #PB_Window_ScreenCentered | #PB_Window_SystemMenu)

Procedure.i WinCallback(WindowID, Message, WParam, LParam)
Define Result = #PB_ProcessPureBasicEvents

If Message = #WM_MOUSEWHEEL
Debug -(WParam >> 16) / #WHEEL_DELTA
EndIf

ProcedureReturn Result ...
