GameEx BULKY
duckpatch:
It runs sluggish on my computer too. Maybe is it just media center? How does the FE run in plain old Win XP Pro? Does it still have that Media Center feel?
wrench:
It may be the .net 2.0.I know Tom was working on getting 2.0
to work but that was a beta so if you don't have the latest release of gameex you need .net1.1 for sure.Also there have been some problems with nvidia drivers and gameex causing choppy or slow menu navigation.There has been some reports that the newest nvidia are working properly but I haven't tried them myself yet. The nvidia driver v66.93 was the one that seems to work the best.
This is from gameex web site:
Q: I have a good system, but GameEx runs terribly slow or freezes up (I have an NVidia video card)?
A: NVidia unified drivers newer than 66.93 and older than 81.85 seem to have serious bugs with DirectX 2D support. Get the latest NVidia drivers or alternatively you can get 66.93 drivers here. 66.93 was released November 2004.

It looks eactly the same in XP Pro as it does in Media Center
Roughy:
I've got the same problem--only moreso.
Choppy, yes. Like a pig, yes.
Granted, I'm the first to admit that there's more than likely a lot of user error here and am going to try some of the mods listed above.
I'm running on a 1.5 machine (athlon 2200+) with 512mb ram and it's very, very choppy. The set-up seems pretty sluggish and the form elements don't seem to retain information--maybe that's normal, but it makes me quite miserable when I re-enter setup and I cannot see the settings that I previously made, so that's a huge usability issue to me.
I like the look and feel of WinMC a lot; it's easy enough to get around in, but I keep finding oddball errors about 20+ exceptions being met when I try to exit a game or even when trying to get out of the screensaver thing.
And, again--this isn't to ride on gameex; I'm sure there's not a lot I've done to help the cause in making it right since I was tinkering around 2a last night, but I'm willing to get some more advice!
