This code doesn't work on PB3.93

Works fantasic on my laptop! That's a pretty awesome effect. I've got an ATI Radeon IGP 320 chipset.

Don't know whats wrong with the rest of your guys chipsets.

Guess you other ATI guys need to update drivers.

I've already done that, right after i tested the code the first time, but it didn't help.

Well, if I got him right, Psychophanta said it worked for him in previous
PB Versions so it can't be a mere driver issue, can it?

I can't tell because it works for me

it doesn't work in PB V3.90 for me either.... so perhaps it is just driver issues? It maybe the newer drivers that have broken something, not pb at all

it could even be a service pack 2 issue with XP. I'll test in 98 in a while

I just checked out my driver... looks like I'm running a really old version (from 5/15/2003), version 6.14.10.6451. For the record, my ATI card is a Mobility Radeon 9200.

I'm running purebasic 3.93a, winXPsp2.

So I guess the answer is to downgrade the drivers instead of upgrade.

This has always done this with pb (not with other things though) i just bought a 9600 pro and it seams to do it too (and this thing happened also with my 9100) it the windowed buffer put it into full screen it works but theres a balck screen that phases you
it sound more of an issue with compatablity with pb, windows (and windowed screen) and ati o_O

Sorry, not sure. I have another pc with nvidia geforce 400mx, and i'm not sure if it was tested on it.

The code is not correct as DrawingBuffer() need to be called at each loop, because the memory surface format can change. Here is a working one:

Well just for the record. None of these work on my machine..

Crash with one of those cute MS requesters, letting me tell MS about the problem..

XP Pro SP2, PB 3.93 and GeForce4 Ti 4400 with the latest drivers.

Now works, that's it, Fred

Please check userlibs and try with a clean PB 3.93 installed.

Just reinstalled Xp some days ago, and a clean PB 3.93 too
Then did a smartupdate at the end, just to make sure I had all the updates..
The userlibs part is out of the question, as I haven't had the time to install any..

Psychophanta · Post by **Psychophanta** » Fri Mar 18, 2005 4:12 pm

Then, So strange

. Perhaps some kind of incompatibility. I didn't make this snip, but should work on any PC.
I would check drivers or something...

olejr · Post by **olejr** » Fri Mar 18, 2005 4:52 pm

Well I have no idea what driver that could be..
Everything that should matter, is up todate..
And those that doesn't matter is also the latest..

And yeah.. It should work on any computer. There's nothing special in there..

I can confirm that Fred's version of the code is working fine

Fred, thats perfect now. Working as expected. I do like that little effect, looks sweet
