Hi,

I find it..


I put on my server for those who search the SDK March 2008..

I test after download.

regards

It seems that Microsoft has removed 2008 March SDK from their website
I'll update the engine soon to be based on the latest SDK, but if you've found the March version, I'm curious if it'll work.
Thanks

Hi,

It's the same time (very long) with *.lib of SDK March 2008...

Only the Sample with No_FX work normaly

Christophe

it contains the old shader loading, and new shader loading,
both exit showing time needed to load graphics, please post both results.
On my system its 1.2 seconds

For the 2 exe, "Error, 34.xxx Sec"

Thanks, I'll try to think of some solution, it's weird that it takes so long, for most of computers its about 1-5 seconds.
Have you changed something in your system?
-windows services
-windows tweaks
-programs running in the background
-something like folding @ home may eat your cpu
-anitiviruses, spyware
-any other thing that may affect your systems performance?
-do you have all windows updates

Hi,

I have re-install a New Windows XP SP3 (Clean Original) on Blank Hard disk.
Only :
DirectX SDK March 2008
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008.

Before BLOOM Demo



Inside BLOOM Demo

What about the graphics drivers that I've mentioned in the previous post? Do you have the latest installed?

Is your windows theme is windows xp default theme (I don't know for service pack 3 but for earlier versions I don't recall it to be windows' default), or have you installed some 3rd party software?

I have already the Catalist 8.11..

I have install this DirectX Runtime.
-- After reboot --
It's the same problem.

I am confident we will find the problem.

Above all we are about to adopt your 3D engine.

Can you try this.
http://www.wormhole-the-game.com/Bloom.exe
It's compile with original source code.

Christophe

At my system Bloom.exe starts in 2 seconds.

About the windows theme thing, if it's not windows' default theme there is a slight possibility that it may affect shader loading time.

You could try disabling this theme, but uninstalling it, and restoring all previous dll's if they were changed would be better.

I remember I used once UX Theme multipatcher or something likely called which had replaced system dll's.

Hi,

Same probleme with Theme Disabled.

http://www.wormhole-the-game.com/DxDiag.txt

Can start "dxdiag" in dos shell, compare it with this rapport.

Sorry for the disagrement.

regards

this line seems interesting in your dxdiag.txt


this line isn't present in my version.

I'll read your file further, but it seems you have some debug version DirectX installed, instead of retail.

you might want to check this thread on microsoft forum

Have you tried DirectX SDK control Panel mentioned in the topic in previous post?
Changing Debug/Retail D3D9 Runtime?

If it won't help, please uninstall any DirectX Runtime, DirectX Developer Runtime.
And make a clean install of DirectX End-User Runtime 2008 November <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=886ACB56-C91A-4A8E-8BB8-9F20F1244A8E&displaylang=en">http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... laylang=en</a><!-- m -->
