I just recently got A7, and everything so far checks out great.
Except that every time I exit out of the engine, my display just shows a bunch of lines that look like the SED window that got smeared. I have to restart my whole machine just to reset it.
could this be a DirectX problem? I have DX 9.0c.
I don't have d3d_antialias on, and yet the display seems to look like it's antialiased. maybe I have to set d3d_antialias to 0 upon startup?
I was using A6 for a long while, with no problems. Then I got the free version of Lite-C; no problems there either. But suddenly I now have this problem with A7.05.
Anyone? I would really like to have this fixed ASAP, because I only just got it today, and I don't want to end up not using it for a couple years, like I did for A6 for a short while, because I couldn't get the hang of scripting.
Note: this only occurs in fullscreen mode.
And what happened to my near-perfect 75 FPS? I hate ABT.

i have the same problem with the screen when full screen is used...i found that if you minimize the whole window to the task bar then bring it back up the display is correct..it will save you from having to reboot..this works for me so i hope it works for you...
aaaargh! if ye should need help at the time of engagement, me cutlass is forever ready.

Well, I can try that for the display problem, but what about the FPS? Is that permanent/because of the ABT rendering system? I hope not, because I have all of my projects (from Lite-C) in the GStudio7 work folder, and I deleted my previous versions in an attempt to correct both problems (I still have my old projects and the necessary files for A6, though). I actually discovered that other games/3D programs run slower now, and I figure that means it's not because of the ABT. It's systemwide. I've been thinking about getting an antivirus program to get rid of whatever is bogging my system down. I was using Lite-C pretty freely before I got A7. I think there just may have been something in that file that got into my system. I hope that it's not a worm in the key file, because I'd hate to have to go through another order process just to get a clean key file.  I could be just rambling about something that never happened, but I don't know. Sorry to go on like this, but I've been spending most of today trying to fix this problem (if it's a problem at all).

Ok, I've now discovered for sure that this is system wide. The frame rate problem occurs in some A6 programs/scripts as well (ABT is not to blame,  ). But I still have to figure out what is causing these problems. Any ideas?
void main()
{
cout << "I am MrCode,";
cout << "hear me roar!";
system("PAUSE");

you can get 'AVG free edition' works great take a system scan and also everytime you enter a folder if AVG finds a virus when you enter it you can enter heal it or put it into the virus vault.
other things might be spyware try 'search and destroy' its free and works also great.
is you system old? long time since defragment?
if you still got the antialias error, check your video driver maybe its on inside the drivers you can turn it off.
what video card you got by the way?
even if you got direct 9.0C it may be a old version, download via microsofts site

how exactly did you update your drivers? uninstalled first I presume?
what Video card do you have?
Hum, I dont know much about newer norton's from what I hear its working great
anti-virus programs shouldnt make 3DGS perform poorly, if so, it's blocking 3DGS, or its scanning while you are using it.
Please list what system you got
RAM
256 and 512 mb on windows xp tends to perform less and less after the updates, atleast, that was what I noticed.
Video card
Perhaps the drivers dont work correctly with this card if its "outdated"
Cpu
if it's viruses it can be effected alot if its a old one because small amount of processing power compared to new ones.
Motherboard
as some motherboards tend to get poor in performance if its a really budget motherboard
