Juestfor some reason when the system is slow bzflag causes windows to disable composition23:10
Juestseems only on first startup23:11
Juestsubsequent are fine23:11
Juestidk how to debug this hard to repro23:11
blast007what GPU?23:16
Juestblast007: it also seems to just be in a not responding fest after freezing for a while when connected, had to reconnect to fix it23:18
Juestgtx 166023:18
Juestwindows 723:18
Juestlast whql 472 driver23:18
Juestits not a gpu issue23:18
Juestits windows composition23:18
Juestsomething slow in the bzf init causes it23:19
Juestalso umm i cant really copy the version string from the game23:19
blast007well, I know at least it isn't the latest release :)23:20
Juestthe computer that built bzflag is not working23:21
Juestso i cant recompile myself23:21
ZehraWindows 7 is out of support for quite a long while, IIRC.23:22
JuestZehra: dont care, i have it updated, im not interested in that age old discussion23:22
Juestits a grandfathered computer23:23
Juestlots of software that will break if upgraded23:23
ZehraJuest: It's just an observation of it possibly having an issue outside of BZ. Since computers tend to slow down when bugged.23:24
JuestZehra: its on hdd so thats more likely than actual bugs23:25
Juestshame that bzflag doesnt have logs on file but stdout which is debugger output on windows23:26
Juestlike out of the box23:27
Juesti know there's a an argument for it23:27
Juestbut its bugged on windows i recall23:27
JuestBZFlag client 2.4.27.20241112-DEVEL-Win32VC14-SDL2 (protocol 0221) http://BZFlag.org/23:28
JuestCopyright (c) 1993-2023 Tim Riker23:28
Juesthere you go23:28
Juestits tip of the tree at that time with the old dependencies23:29
Juestprevious dependencies i mean23:29
ZehraIDK, taking a quick guess: Issue starts on first startup, doesn't happen on second startup. BZ freezes after a while when connected, but reconnecting seems to fix it.23:30
JuestZehra: they're not related to each other23:30
Juestif bz takes too long to startup which is usually first uncached startup it may trigger windows disabling composition23:31
Juestif it freezes at the last stage connecting to a server it'll enter into a weird state where tanks constantly stop responding and respond again on flag actions23:31
ZehraJuest: Do you have any other apps which use SDL2?23:31
Juestarmagetron advanced23:32
Juest:)23:32
Juestand steam23:32
Juestand rvgl23:32
Juestno issues there23:32
Juestyou're known for wasting time with ambitious nonsense, please don't23:33
ZehraI'll shut up23:33
blast007Juest: by "I know at least it isn't the latest release" I was talking about how the official 2.4.20 doesn't work on Vista or 7 because c-ares fails to initialize23:44
blast0072.4.30*23:44
blast007if there's a specific message that windows shows when it happens, I might be able to find something.  Just seaching for "windows 7 disabling compositing" is just yielding results with instructions for how to disable compositing23:46
Juestblast007: this is an automated thing that windows does that disables composing on its own if an app has trouble with it or its set in compatibility which is not the case23:47
Juestor doesnt support composition23:48
Juestthat search is more user oriented or at least thats what the indexer assumes23:48
Juestit sucks for this kind of stuff23:48
Juesti get no notification of the composition being disabled though23:50
Juestmeh23:53
Juestim reading and it seems to be gpu vram out of memory23:53
Juestwhen its not the case23:53
Juestim just launching bzflag after a while23:53
Juestwhatever, no point in burning the head with this issue23:54
Juestsorry23:54
blast007one would think that 6GB should be plenty23:55
Juestyeah it is23:55
Juestalso this is not a true oom23:55
Juestits preemptively saving itself23:56
Juestvram ooms are harder than composition disabling23:56
Juestalso this is happening when i launch an app23:56
Juestbzflag out of all things23:56
Juesthit harder*23:57
