FROOGZ test needed

[Momor]

Ultra,

Can you please try again with sound disabled ?

Also if the crash still occur, please send me the FROOGZ.log file.

Regards,
Momor.

First off, gotta say I love the title screen. The music and animated background remind me of the tags hackers used to put on deprotected games and roms. Very cool.

As for the game, it ran fine with the OpenGL driver, though in fullscreen there were some collision issues. I kept falling into the floor, rather than landing on top of it (so though I was on the ground level, I couldn't see the floor, just black).

The Software driver worked okay too, up until I selected DirectSound. Then the game would start (with music), give a division error, then display the window, and then lockup. At which point only the X or ALT-F4 would close it (ESC didn't work).

Note that the generated logfiles for OpenGL/DirectSound and Software/DirectSound are exactly the same.

Note: You might want to add a registry entry to include uninstalling the program from the Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel.

Many thanks Xorcist for the testing.

I didn't know this title screen has a retro looking, but I'm very happy of it ! Programmer art :lol:

Also, about the crashes, it really looks like FMOD issues. This is not the first time I get these kind of errors (I had the same crashes in my Volcano game), so that's why I did completly externalize the sound configuration (which I'm generaly too lazy to do ops: ).

About the unsinstall reg key, I'm trying my best to put no registry key in my games, just because I find the registry too critical to pollute it with my software. I've remarked that the more the registry is filled, the slower my computer starts ...

It doesn't matter which sound mode I choose I still get the errors. However, if I choose Software everything seems to be just fine.

One other thing I just noticed is that when I use OpenGL the first time I enter the game the colors are messed up. If I press escape and go to the game menu and then once again enter everything seems to work fine.

I'll try to send you the content of my FROOGZ.log file to you via private messages (if I get it to work, I haven't tried it before ).

Greetings,

Many thanks for the log file. You are right, there is no sound issue in your system as the log file shows it.

Can you please try another OpenGL game/application ? I'm wondering if your OpenGL drivers are not making trouble.

[Ultra]

It might very well be my OpenGL drivers that are crazy. Some games, like Max Payne and Jedi Knigh II, works fine while others, like Diablo II and Ground control, seems to have some issues.

Please note that I don't know if these games use OpenGL or Direct3D or both or none.
