| 11:20.24 | saxotest | hey blast007, i have a problem |
| 11:21.13 | saxotest | it'S about running bzflag (client) on 64-bit Windows |
| 12:00.35 | *** join/#bzflag-chat saxotest (~chatzilla@216.252.79.92) |
| 12:07.48 | blast007 | saxotest: what kind of problem? |
| 12:08.48 | saxotest | hi |
| 12:09.36 | saxotest | i wanted to know if there are known issues on 64-bit windows? |
| 12:10.11 | saxotest | cause it hangs my system |
| 12:11.31 | saxotest | in fact, something weird just happened while i was waiting for an answer i had bzflag minimized in background |
| 12:12.05 | saxotest | and then system stopped responding |
| 12:12.15 | blast007 | a program should not be able to take down your entire system |
| 12:12.23 | saxotest | ni could not move the mousenbut then |
| 12:12.43 | blast007 | could you bring up the task manager? could you toggle the number lock or caps lock light? |
| 12:12.49 | saxotest | no |
| 12:12.53 | saxotest | and no |
| 12:12.54 | blast007 | no to both? |
| 12:12.57 | blast007 | k |
| 12:13.12 | blast007 | what version of Windows is that? |
| 12:13.21 | saxotest | but then after a few minutes it went back to noraml |
| 12:13.24 | blast007 | hm |
| 12:13.34 | saxotest | windows 7 pro 64bit |
| 12:13.44 | blast007 | make sure you have the latest video driver |
| 12:13.48 | saxotest | i was able to eject the cdrom |
| 12:14.08 | blast007 | yeah, that's probably going to work regardless of if the system is responding |
| 12:14.26 | blast007 | as far as I know, the only time it wouldn't open is when the OS has locked the drive |
| 12:14.43 | saxotest | i made a windows update this week |
| 12:14.58 | saxotest | and the nvidia driver was included |
| 12:15.06 | blast007 | windows update won't get your video driver - or if it does, it will be a sucky one that doesn't do OpenGL |
| 12:15.16 | blast007 | get it from nvidia directly |
| 12:15.18 | saxotest | nno i think it did |
| 12:15.27 | saxotest | nbecause it was a fresh windows install |
| 12:15.31 | blast007 | get it from nvidia |
| 12:15.38 | saxotest | :D |
| 12:15.46 | saxotest | k then |
| 12:16.23 | blast007 | also doesn't install the 3DVision or NView crap |
| 12:16.34 | blast007 | since I don't have a 3D capable screen, and NView is stupid ;) |
| 12:16.49 | blast007 | custom install ftw |
| 12:17.08 | saxotest | are you telling me NOT to install these things? |
| 12:17.20 | blast007 | up to you |
| 12:17.27 | saxotest | k |
| 12:17.44 | saxotest | BTW it there an option in config file to make time of day *constant* (i.e. always daylight) ? |
| 12:17.46 | blast007 | NView is the thing that lets you enhance your windows, like make them transparent and stuff |
| 12:18.01 | blast007 | I think there might be an option for that, but I can't remember |
| 12:18.35 | blast007 | either that or it was some trick with latitude/longitude |
| 12:19.26 | blast007 | also, the #bzflag channel is our actual support channel |
| 12:19.38 | blast007 | there's more people there |
| 12:20.09 | saxotest | ah ok, thats not what the wiki said ;) |
| 12:20.38 | saxotest | it said #bzflag is for devel |
| 12:20.39 | blast007 | actually that's exactly what it says |
| 12:20.43 | blast007 | and support |
| 12:21.07 | blast007 | "The #bzflag channel is the primary development and support channel" |
