It might not be a terrible idea if we formalized that a tiny bit and wrote something like this from time-to-time! Do you think there's much of an audience for it?

yes, go for it!

Before I do that, however, can you tell me the model of your computer's CPU? If you don't know how to find this information, you can use CPU-Z. I attached a screenshot of what that looks like for me. I am interested in the "Name" section ("Intel Core i7 4770K").

You need to paste into the address bar, not the search bar.

Psst, he explained on the previous page...

Unfortunately, no one beta testing this release had an old enough computer to catch this little bug!

Glad it's working for you now. Hopefully that's a good sign for the rest of the folks in this thread having this problem!

What will i say: "I AM IN" :-)

Thanks for the great support. Tsar Hoikas, Delderius and Doobes. I hope i do not forget some one

It is really very interesting to read how you approached things Tsar Hoikas. Even if I don't understand very much about it.

Now i can take a look at all your work. I am sure, it will be great. :-)

I like the idea. It may interest and lure in some programmers lurking about and, most importantly, be a great chance for programmers to vent.

Plus, it could show exactly how much thought and work (and headaches) go into URU "behind the scenes", which is really not noticed and recognized as much as it should be, IMHO.

I'm glad to hear it's working for you guys!

In my research, I did find a way to disable AVX in Windows. But, uh, I'm not disabling AVX on my PC :lol:

I definitely enjoy this type of read from time to time

As a programmer, it's always nice to learn about issues other people run into.
While I understand all Hoikas wrote, I definitely would not have been able to troubleshoot it

I'm glad most of the time I can work with languages that are executed by a VM of some kind and make abstraction of the CPU my code is executed on. I'm not sure I could survive without all the handholding modern languages and IDEs have spoiled me with...

Oh yeah, definitely. It's cool when an unexpected release sneaks up on you, but it's also fun and motivating to hear about others making day-to-day progress on various projects.

I like the idea of those development journals, but honestly it's a bit hard to remember (or even be aware of) all the different forums/websites/etc around here. That's probably why they aren't used more.
I myself check at different frequencies the Myst subreddit, the GoW, MOULa (until recently), OpenURU, two Facebook pages, one blog, the GoME and D'ni Jazz Club. And I still have the links to a few abandoned blogs.
Fortunately Korovev pointed out most of those support RSS which makes following all those at the same time much simpler

but information is still spread out quite thin. Just yesterday, someone was asking on Reddit what the hell Gehn Shard was, and it seems lots of people never heard about the GoW or fan-Ages.

that's why i used a workstation made in 2012 lol ... maybe the trick when testing for bugs is to find a really old pc with outdated software, hardware and operating systems

... just not windows xp , now that's just looking for trouble :lol:

but thank you all for the great support, where would we be without you
