To all SSC Station occupants

Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

64 Bit Windows 7

Hello

Trying to get this to run and cant, so i am wondering if this doesnt work on a 64 bit version of win7.

When i try to run the exe i get a black screen for about 3 seconds and then back to the desktop.

This does look interesting. <img src=' http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//bye.gi f' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':bye:' />

interesting, should work,

has anybody else tried running on a 64 bit machine with win 7?

Try right-clicking on the exe application, and on properties, go to compatibility and set as an xp version.

I do not have a 64 bit machine, but the screen going blank indicates that the program is initiating.

it may be a problem with direct draw or loading up the graphics (did you extract the files from the zip folder?).

did you run the latest version: AdInfinitum_1_9_9_2_0 ?

There is an odd bit of programing in my code, I instruct the program to run everything in system memory, and bypass any graphics memory, this is not very conventional so may have problems with newer machines. This can be turned off and allow the computer to automatically find memory and use graphics cards, to do this open the ad-infinitum folder, the debug folder and the input.txt file; at the bottom change

SYSTEM_MEMORY: 1

to

SYSTEM_MEMORY: 0

close and save and try running again.

if these dont work try running an older version at

http://sourceforge.n...nfinitum/files/

also test another game that uses direct draw, e.g try running efs which can be found at http://www.hotud.org/component/content/article/37-strategy/20056

any luck?
