Heres the game www.funeffect.com Thanks!. |

| quick thing, on your webpage you have spelled Mystery "Mistery" |
| ||
| On my Vista is does not work. It just flashed very quickly and dissapear |
| ||
| I have absolutely no clue why it does not work on Vista... any ideas?. |
| ||
| Are you saving any data? Vista is funny about where you save it.... |
| ||
| Yes i am, im creating a file that writtes the stats of the player to the game directory, and also the ini file, what should i do?????. |
| ||
| what should i do?????. Follow the development guidelines that Microsoft has set for Vista and you will have no problems. |

| Yes i am, im creating a file that writtes the stats of the player to the game directory, and also the ini file, what should i do?????. If user access control (UAC) is enabled on Vista (and it is by default), then you cannot save any files into the c:\program files\<your game> folder after the initial install. Like GaryV said, follow Microsoft's development guidelines and it will work fine. They specify the exact locations that your game is allowed to save to without problems. You should retrieve the paths programmatically since you can't count on the exact location, especially when dealing with non-English installs of windows. Here is some Blitzmax code that will retrieve the folder names under Vista, courtesy of Grey Alien: http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=73305 |

| Just curious, have you checked your virtual store to see if the file is actually being written? |
| ||
| I'm running Vista Home Premium and have UAC turned on. Program installs and runs fine without problems except that when I click the X icon, the program will not end. To test if the X is clicked, check for AppTerminate() anywhere you test for KeyHit(KEY_ESCAPE). If KeyHit(KEY_ESCAPE) Or AppTerminate() Then End |

| Thanks a lot everybody. I used the code by Grey Alien, i hope it works now, coud you please download try it again?, Thanks a lot again!. |
| ||
| Is it posible that my game doesnt run on some machines because i use setviewport?. Im still looking for more feedback by the way, so if you are kind enough to try it i would appreciate it very much, thanks!. |

| Could it be that there are problem with the sound driver?, could you download Openal divers and install them to see if that fixes the problem?: (Download "Oanlist" from:) http://connect.creativelabs.com/openal/Downloads/Forms/AllItems.aspx If you want i can give a full copy to anyone who helps me, thanks. EDIT: PRoblem solved: you need to install the Openal drivers in order for the game to run properly. Thanks everyone. |

| Hi, i DID solve the problem, now it works on some machines, but in others it does NOT work. The problem seems to be with Intel Mobile and ATI Mobility Radeon Cards, at least thats what 3 people have told me. Could you people please keep testing my game and tell me your system config to get more clues on the problem?, or if you have ideas to share they are also welcome, thanks. |
| ||
| on my machine, it just flashed very quickly and disappeared. specs. below. |
| ||
| Thanks Jesse, i uploaded a new version, could you check it out and see if it works now?, thanks a lot. |

| Use Bass for audio, no problems at all. ;) |
| ||
| Thanks Jesse. MGE: are you saying that the problem is with OpenAL?, im asking because im trying to find out the problem but im still not sure. Im using MaxMod for sounds. Edit: Besides Bass is too expensive for me right now. Im tryin to figure out what could be the problem, but im lost, i have no clue. |
| ||
| Could everyone try this no sound version to see if the problem is with maxmod?, thanks ! : http://www.funeffect.com/HTYDemo/noSoundDemo-2.5.zip |
| ||
| yes, this one works. |
| ||
| Thanks a ton Jesse. It's Maxmod then, i don't know why it doesn't work on your machines, it should!, I'll investigate what other option i have, thanks!. |
| ||
| I am using Crative SoundBlaster Audigy 2 add on card. If that helps. |
| ||
| Thanks Jesse. I think the solution would be to stop using maxmod and start using something else though. Thanks a lot for your help, very apreciated. |
| ||
| Hi everybody, could you try the demo again to see if it works now, please?, i think i finally fixed it... |
| ||
| it works good now. |
| ||
| Thanks for letting me know. I'm sure everyone will be able to play it now, problems has been fixed. Thanks all!. |
