Did yo...Strange you couldn't get it to act up. Did you try it without Compatibility Mode enabled? I'm not quite following TP555.<br />I've tried it on a lot of VERY different computers (old, new, laptop, desktop: all Win10) with the same results.<br /><br />The first save point never fails and seems the most consistent test case: open the save-point keypad and start moving the mouse quickly left and right, up and down and all around in circles being careful to go past the extent of the screen (it can sometimes take a while). I've tried many different screen resolutions, but currently I'm at 1920x1080. I also tried locking the exe to just one CPU core in the task manager (which didn't help at all).<br /><br />Enabling Windows 7 Compatibility is the only thing I've found that helps. But it doesn't always work. On one desktop pc I tried, it made no difference at all. But in general, it does really help a lot.<br /><br />In case you're interested, this is the full configuration I'm using. I press F11 when the game first starts to go fullscreen:<br /><br />; Abuse-SDL configuration file (v0.9a)<br /><br />; SCREEN SETTINGS<br /><br />;0 - window, 1 - fullscreen window, 2 - fullscreen<br />fullscreen=2<br />borderless=1<br />vsync=1<br /><br />; Game screen size (original 320x200)<br />screen_width=640<br />screen_height=360<br /><br />; Scale window<br />scale=3<br /><br />; Enable high resolution screens, buttons and font<br />;Setting this to zero seems a bit more stable on Win10<br />hires=0<br />big_font=1<br /><br />; Use linear texture filter (nearest is default)<br />linear_filter=1<br /><br />; SOUND SETTINGS<br /><br />; Volume (0-127)<br />volume_sound=127<br />volume_music=127<br /><br />; Disable music and sound effects<br />no_music=0<br />no_sound=0<br /><br />; Use mono audio only<br />mono=0<br /><br />; RANDOM SETTINGS<br /><br />; Enable editor mode<br />editor=0<br /><br />; Grab the mouse and keyboard to the window<br />grab_input=1<br /><br />; Fullscreen mouse scaling (0 - match desktop, 1 - match game screen)<br />mouse_scale=1<br /><br />; Physics update time in ms (65ms/15FPS original)<br />physics_update=65<br /><br />; Bullet time (%)<br />bullet_time=120<br /><br />local_save=1<br /><br />; PLAYER CONTROLS<br /><br />; Key mappings<br />left=a<br />right=d<br />up=w<br />down=s<br />special=SHIFT_L<br />fire=f<br />weapon_prev=q<br />weapon_next=e<br />special2=CTRL_L<br /><br />; Alternative key mappings (only the following controls can have two keyboard bindings)<br />left_2=LEFT<br />right_2=RIGHT<br />up_2=UP<br />down_2=DOWN<br /><br />; CONTROLLER SETTINGS<br /><br />; Enable aiming<br />ctr_aim=0<br /><br />; Correct crosshair position (x)<br />ctr_aim_x=0<br /><br />; Crosshair distance from player<br />ctr_cd=100<br /><br />; Right stick/aiming sensitivity<br />ctr_rst_s=10<br /><br />; Right stick/aiming dead zone<br />ctr_rst_dz=5000<br /><br />; Left stick/movement dead zones<br />ctr_lst_dzx=10000<br />ctr_lst_dzy=25000<br /><br />; Button mappings (don't use buttons for left/right movement)<br />up=ctr_a<br />down=ctr_b<br />special=ctr_left_shoulder<br />special=ctr_left_stick<br />special2=ctr_left_trigger<br />fire=ctr_right_shoulder<br />fire=ctr_right_trigger<br />fire=ctr_right_stick<br />weapon_prev=ctr_x<br />weapon_next=ctr_y<br />quick_save=ctr_left_stick<br />quick_load=ctr_right_stick<br />nk22https://www.blogger.com/profile/13090852893002290018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-631094110953668813.post-53055776462314160292020-10-06T16:57:13.956+02:002020-10-06T16:57:13.956+02:00I wrote a comment on your video.I wrote a comment on your video.AntonioRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11929509722129102044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-631094110953668813.post-6587878163406873912020-10-05T16:24:34.430+02:002020-10-05T16:24:34.430+02:00Hi

Then that result is converted to OpenGL texture which is then rendered to screen. Only that uses OpenGL and GPU. The advantage is we can enable vsync, filtering and scale the result to fit the screen. CPU rendering part is very complicated, code is not explained and I don't know how to change aspect ratio or remove black bars, we are lucky to be able to change resolution.AntonioRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11929509722129102044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-631094110953668813.post-39943212166023420362020-09-21T22:15:54.283+02:002020-09-21T22:15:54.283+02:00Re

The game runs slow at higher resolutions because the processor is rendering the game, not the graphics card.

I was really...I've still been having trouble. <br />I was really hoping to be able to post back with a specific way to duplicate the problem, but the crashing seems just random at times. It happens sometimes even when the cursor isn't at the extent of the screen. The best way I've found to duplicate the crash is to play a new game to the first save point, open the save menu and start bouncing the cursor to the left of the screen with the save menu open. It happens even with Windows 7 compatibility enabled. Without Windows 7 compatibility enabled, bouncing the cursor at the top of the screen immediately after starting a new game will do it.<br /><br />I've messed a lot with the configuration settings trying to find something that would make it solid. I found that setting hires=0 brings a new level of stability, but sadly, it still happens.<br /><br />I tested on someone else's Windows 10 laptop just to be sure it wasn't me and got the same results.<br /><br />Again, the best stability I've achieved in Win 10 is to enabled Windows 7 compatibility and set hires=0 in user/config.txt.nk22https://www.blogger.com/profile/13090852893002290018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-631094110953668813.post-12322877441781385482020-07-10T20:04:07.863+02:002020-07-10T20:04:07.863+02:00Thanks for writing the solution.Thanks for writing the solution.AntonioRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11929509722129102044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-631094110953668813.post-51450550198509352312020-07-10T18:44:42.258+02:002020-07-10T18:44:42.258+02:00Thanks so much, it's clearly a Windows 10 comp...Thanks so much, it's clearly a Windows 10 compatibility issue.<br /><br />This fixed it for me:<br />Right click abuse.exe -> Properties -> Compatibility tab -> Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows 7<br /><br />I made it to level two without any issues, thanks again!nk22https://www.blogger.com/profile/13090852893002290018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-631094110953668813.post-40832065941644105682020-07-10T16:07:57.015+02:002020-07-10T16:07:57.015+02:00I tried again with your settings, tried in window,...I tried again with your settings, tried in window, fullscreen or borderless and it does not crash.
