Draco1962 Posted April 29, 2015 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnells2000 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 I don't see sleep settings in tweaks and performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted April 29, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DazzleHP Posted April 30, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troy Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazzleHP Posted April 30, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Well, they are all using GameEx... derp! Not that that is the problem, but it is the common software. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazzleHP Posted April 30, 2015 Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troy Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troy Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 Shark codecs, BTW if that wasn't said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazzleHP Posted April 30, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnells2000 Posted April 30, 2015 Share 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 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Holding fwd just has the timecode twitching back and forth when it reaches the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uberpubert69 Posted April 30, 2015 Share 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.
