I compiled a project at 1080p and it ran just fine on my computer which uses Windows 10 Pro.

I would like to add something on this subject. Most of the bugs are tolerable but they are not few in number. The terrible thing is that the bugs haven't been fixed for years and there is a possibility that there are bugs that are no longer reported. For example, I didn't even bother to report a problem I just discovered. Let me share it here as a sample.

I somehow managed to get a new generation AMD graphics card. After installing, I saw that my old projects were not working on this card. I was getting black screen error. After much effort, I found the cause of the error: Using anisotropic filter (1,4,5,6,7) causes black screen error. I tried all the drivers from AMD but the situation did not change. You can watch the video below;

Also, for some unknown reason, I can't get high performance because the new graphics card doesn't work at full load in some projects. There is definitely something wrong here. All of this may be caused by amd (probably driver issue), or it may be caused by another third party program. Or there may be something JCL can do about it. But in the end, it is clear that these problems will not be fixed. That's why I don't bother to give a feedback/report the bug.

If this situation continues, I'm afraid that with new operating systems and new technologies, and with Gamestudio not adapting to the evolving ecosystem, it will become unusable after a while. Hope that doesn't happen.

For now Gamestudio is still functional, still a powerful and handy engine in its own right. I would say that "old but gold", if it was still updating. It can be recommended for hobby or educational use but for a commercial project, it is more logical to take a look at the engines that are up-to-date and supported.

Wellcome again btw. smile
