In the start of each workunit when there are more particles to calculate my screen starts "shaking" and producing all sorts of weird glitches, can anyone explain this and/or tell how to fix it??? |
| Stephen Brooks 2003-08-05 14:57:38 | That's VERY weird. Almost as if I've accidentally compiled some of the graphics switches into the non-graphics versions. I might check the source-code for something like that, but I think it's very unlikely because I didn't even link ddraw.lib (DirectDraw, part of DirectX) with the versions you talk about, so I can't see how it's possible those programs could do _anything_ to your screen! Another slight possibility is that the high CPU usage is causing things to get rather hot in your PC (presumably that GeForce produces a fair amount of heat too). I'd've thought you'd notice something like that, but you could check if you have a CPU temperature monitor around. It doesn't make any sense: that's why they call it "virtual" |
| mallipeep 2003-08-06 10:05:37 | The CPU temp is under 50 degrees, i think that should be fairly normal for AMD-s. I tried installing new nvidia drivers but it didnt help. One thing more, the glitches/errors resemble most as if you have a cell phone ringing near your monitor or if you turn on a second monitor that is near your first one. |
| mallipeep 2003-08-06 10:07:33 | Ah, and i forgot to mention that the graphical version muon1.exe doesnt produce any weird effects... |
