You'd probably see a performance drop in most if not all games while running in windowed mode. It's just how it is.

In this situation I recommend you use Virustotal to have it scanned with almost 40 other anti viruses and draw a conclusion from that. I scan with it after every release so it will tell you the results of the last scan that I did on the 26th of January. QFT

False positive. Many scanners were calling any autoit files viruses but most scanners won't anymore. http://www.virustotal.com/analisis/810df5c2e415a770c6585633206d6264 You'll notice only 4/39 scanners came up positive. Those four do not include any of the larger names in virus detection. You might want to wait a short while longer for Windows 7 instead of paying 150 bucks or so on Vista.

DragonRR is right. Your path in the path box should always end with ka50. You can easily fix this in the registry editor. I was thinking myself that the sound and window was getting annoying. I'll work on it and upload the next version by the end of tonight. Also as NullCharacter suggested, it will now remind you to start the Trackir software if you have it. I just need to test it on my x64 partition.

Always share what you did to fix the problem please. Even if somebody else in the thread hasn't mentioned having the same problem, somebody has and somebody will have this issue at some point. When this thread is searched out, these people will really appreciate it.

Interesting. I hadn't even looked at the load across the cores. I'll play around and see what I get with different delays.

Thanks guys. Null, I'll implement your suggestion right now. I don't know why reading from the registry didn't even once cross my mind. :doh: Edit: I remember now exactly why I went with the INI method. If the binary is outside of program files, like in root C:\ or your documents etc, it doesn't need administrator privileges to function and read or write settings to the INI. I can read from the registry without elevated privs but I cannot write to it. Since requesting elevation is completely out of the question, I'll need some time to think. As a work around to the ini cluttering your desktop, simply place the binary anywhere but program files and create a shortcut to it on the desktop.

Yea it got a lot more complicated than before when it was just me using it. In order to release it on here and have any chance of people using it, I needed to make it user friendly, warn if something is wrong, and make it work even if their setup isn't exactly like mine. It might look like more work than it's worth, but in reality it should only take a couple minutes to set up. Then you can get rid of the dual desktop icons and only have one thing to do when you want to play Black shark: open the launcher. The rest is taken care of. Like I said, making stuff like this is a hobby of mine. This is just the first time I've ever worked up the nerve to package and let the rest of the world try it. Even if only one person found it useful it'd be enough for me.

The ability to do such would need to be hard coded into the game I imagine. We really should have a dedicated server by now. The fact that we don't is pretty pathetic in my opinion. Hosting is sloppy and tacked-on at the moment.

4.39 Gigs for me.

I made my own affinity tool for myself a few days ago in AutoIt when I found I couldn't get TaskAssign to work. At first it was a simple script that would run in the background and set the dcs.exe affinity when it found one, but I kept adding onto it. I wanted to merge the two Black Shark desktop icons into one and never have to set the affinity again. After I decided I was going to release it on the forums I cleaned up the interface, optimized some shaky code and added some error checking. Here is the result: EDIT: Use this new google code project page for instructions and download link. Version 2 removes the need for any user configuration. Just run and it works.
