fsphere Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 I'm saying that if the Flurry screensaver runs slow and laggy, that you should rename the extention from .scr to .sCr. (mostly for Intel graphics). And it has nothing to do with performance whatsoever. This is intended for people who has the trouble of running the screensaver smoothly. It'll return to its intended speed. Read this: 6 - This saver is running slowly, and I am using Intel graphics.First, read this. In a nutshell, Intel disables hardware acceleration for OpenGL screensavers. I would like to believe that they have a good reason for doing this, but I cannot think of one. It sounds like one of those situations where a programmer tries to make his software easier to use by outsmarting the user, which is always a terrible design decision. Computers are supposed to do what you tell them to do, not what someone else thinks you want them to do. I can only hope this is a temporary fix while they work on a real solution. One kind user reported a workaround: Try renaming your OpenGL savers from ".scr" to ".sCr". It appears the Intel driver does not check all variations on capitalization when it deactivates hardware rendering. http://www.reallyslick.com/faq.html#6 ummm.... changing from lower case to upper case on a file name or extension in Windows makes absolutely no difference in anything, as Windows file names aren't case sensitive. ...right......

benjaminzsj Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Thanks, fsphere. It works like charm. And it must be because of the Intel Graphics. You know how it feels when you can't taste the thing you love so much. :rofl: Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazooka Joe Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Awesome, I was surfing google for a fix and glad I finally found it here. Thanks, fsphere! I previously had this screensaver working perfectly for my 400mhz Celeron PC with a Radeon 32mb PCI card. Now, thankfully, it works just as nicely on my 2 Ghz P4 PC with the embedded intel graphics. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrBroccoli Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 I have had this screensaver forever, and it has alway ran slow on my system. I tried the renaming trick, and it work! By Christmas I will have my gfx card, so I hopefully won't have this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voy74656 Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 This is 5 months late but u need 2 have ur monitor on 32bit colour depth. I had the same problem just now when i formatted my pc. Worked perfectly before i formatted so i knew it wasnt hardware - had to be software - graphics card drivers were installed and working cause other 3d stuff was fine....played around....swapped to 32bit colour depth - perfect!!!

Ambroos Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Mmmm... I have a bit of a problem with the above screensavers... When using Ubuntu with the Legacy Nvidia drivers (Riva TNT2) the screenies work fine and fast! All of them... (In Linux before drivers it was slow of course) In Windows XP the Screensavers are all horribly slow... Don't know what it is... I thaught Microsoft Drivers worked fine? I'll try updating to the 6X.XX ones... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigitalE Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Wow, the sCr trick worked :) This screensaver ran like utter crap on my laptop, now it works with no lag at all after changing it to sCr! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
