UP5 going crazy
« on: 25-02-2010, 03:08:25 »
Well...  i play a few games from time to time with UP5 on the system tray and everything its ok.

BUT there is 1 game that make UP5 going crazy, RegnumOnline, as soon as i put my login details and push Play and the window shows up, UP5 start blinking, screwing the taskbar and consuming half of the CPU resources take a look.

(1680x1050 res.)

I supose its something about the directx thing.. ¿? because i have to kill the game process, then explorer, and firefox (if there's a video playing), after that the program relax and work like always, but not showing on the system tray anymore just in the taskmanager.

The blinking.. its like it minimizes/restore to the same position like 500 times per second, because when i click something it seems like in a microsecond i click the UP5 window. And even when its crazy works ok..

I can't give more details because my english sucks  :P

The game its just 600MB if u wanna try  hehe

that is really weird ... I have never heard about something like this.
It seems that there is some drawing issue. My program wants to repaint itself everytime it (the window) is covered by the game.

Well, if you minimize my app into tray, is it ok?

Well i have use a lot of apps running "at the background" having the game window open and never happend something like this.

Discarting the possible causes and having the evidences, all indicates that UP5 its the one with the problem.
Killing the game process doesn't work so.. the best solution will be rotating the app when i play that game for now.   :)

I actually don't know how to fix this ...
I've just discovered that Opera browser does the same. When I run my game, Opera takes whole one core. It is some kind of drawing problem. Don't know :(
