MMF2 Help

[Steven]

Hello All,

I have MMF 1.5 (soon to get MMF 2, can't wait!) and the artist I work with has MMF2. He has done some concept background stuff (with 4 different parallaxing layers) in MMF2 bundled it up in an .exe and sent it to me to look at. Only trouble is when I play the game it is horribly slow on my comp and runs at normal speed on his comp. I have a 3ghz machine with 512mb of ram and he has a centrino 1.7 ghz with 512mb of ram.

Why would this happen? Is it because I don't have the latest .dll or is there another file im missing?

Hope you can help!

Steve

This might depend on the videocard you have. Ask the artist to give you the source and play a bit with video modes (VRAM, directX, VSync).

If this doesn't solve the situation, please post the application here so we could have a look.

You can try to force some video options with command line switches.

Create a shortcut to the EXE file, edit its properties and add one of the following options:

/DDRAW -> will force the DirectX mode
/DIB -> will force the standard mode
/DIB3 -> will force the standard mode in 256 colors
/DIB4 -> will force the standard mode in 24-bit true color mode
/DIB6 -> will force the standard mode in 15-bit high color mode
/DIB7 -> will force the standard mode in 16-bit high color mode
/DIB8 -> will force the standard mode in 32-bit true color mode
/VSYNC -> will synchronize the display with the refresh rate

Start with /DIB or /DIB7 for example.
