troy Posted April 29, 2015 Author Posted April 29, 2015 Switched NoWaitVSync to False and same behavior.
tthurman Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Tom has suggested this before when running 30 fps.you could try turning off the sleep setting under tweaks performance
cnells2000 Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Changing to don't wait does nothing. Still pauses.....
Draco1962 Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 I merged both threads so that we have everything under one. Let's make sure that everyone has the settings that Tom requested in this thread. Also, I am going to ask all 3 of you to report back after making the changes with copies of your support files (gameex.ini and log.txt) to see if anything different shows up in the log.txt file. Thanks for taking the time to make the changes and provide the updated files for review.
cnells2000 Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 I don't see sleep settings in tweaks and performance
Draco1962 Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Set Reduce CPU Utilization to No - description per Wiki: Normally GameEx tries to reduce CPU utilization, by calculating time left after a frame then telling the CPU to sleep. If you do not experience totally smooth screen updates in GameEx and your not worried about your CPU usage you can turn this off. OptionsYes (Default)No
troy Posted April 29, 2015 Author Posted April 29, 2015 No change, same behavior.. logs attached. Thanks. GameEx.inilog.txt
DazzleHP Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 @troy @cnells @Ubes,Can you report back on what brand of GPU you are using? Either AMD, Nvidia or Intel. Also when you last updated and your driver version may be helpfull. There must be a pattern here somewhere
Draco1962 Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Per their log files:Troy - Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 with RADEON X700 Series csnells2000 - Windows 8.1 64-bit with NVIDIA GeForce 9300 GEUberpubes - Windows 7 Ultimate Service Pack 1 64-bit with AMD Radeon HD 7660D + HD 7700 Dual Graphics
troy Posted April 30, 2015 Author Posted April 30, 2015 Thanks, Draco.Like cnells, I have not updated anything except the gameex auto update to the latest version a couple of weeks ago. 1
DazzleHP Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Wow that really is a mix huh In fact it couldnt be more of one! There must be something common between you guys though... if not hardware then it must be software - right? 1
Draco1962 Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Well, they are all using GameEx... derp! Not that that is the problem, but it is the common software. 1
DazzleHP Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Derp indeed I was thinking more along the lines of recording software, streaming software, video authoring, DVD creation etc. Anything that could have altered vital system files (.dll's may be) - all of which could have depending on the program.
tthurman Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 What could someone do to easily test this?I'm swamped right now, but if I could throw some videos on the rig and try it real quick, I'd give it a go!I just don't use this feature, so I have no idea if I'm having a issue or not with it.<edit> I guess what I'm asking is, what video formats? Surely I can enable the feature and point to the directory, I hope anyway
cnells2000 Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 I have an and Athlon II X2 245 2.91 processor and 3 gigs of ram

Surely I can enable the feature and point to the directory, I hope anyway Most of us can and it works, but clearly these guys have some common denominator that no one is seeing - yet 1
troy Posted April 30, 2015 Author Posted April 30, 2015 Yeah, nothing has changed - has worked fine since I got it many many many years ago (with one issue that I posted here and it was repaired in a patch)Something definitely changed with the last update, but Im as puzzled as everyone else. :/ I really liked putting videos on shuffle ... or playing them in sequence. It's not a vital feature for me by any means, but was nice. Im sure someone will find the culprit. 1
DazzleHP Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Shark codecs, BTW if that wasn't said. That helps, yes!cnells, Ubes? You have Sharks Codecs installed too?At this point we might just have to start eliminating stuff to boil it down! Not the most practical way to go about things, but it can be effective and to be honest nothing is jumping out at me right now. That is of course assuming that you don't Stream, Record, Edit vids at all? 1
cnells2000 Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 I have shark codecs installed. On mine, I've had a video converter, editor and splitter for as long as I've had this gameex frontend and never had any problems before. I can rewind the video at the end when it is frozen and it works but fwd does not work once the end is reached. I can push down on the joystick and the video will change. So the problem is not that the videos won't play, but the option to play all or play randomly starts the first video, but won't play consecutively like it used to.
cnells2000 Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Holding fwd just has the timecode twitching back and forth when it reaches the end
uberpubert69 Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 I have shark codecs as well. It's never been an issue for me though. (I was actually told to put these codecs in my PC) This issue doesn't concern me too much, as I've said I don't really use GameEx for videos/music. The videos were avi btw.
