New updates including DreamScene Preview


Recommended Posts

Question for anybody else who has downloaded Dreamscene/DeskScapes:

I'm trying to download the SylockRed deskscape: http://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=9&libid=50

The website says the filesize is 382 KB but my download is showing 45.8MB? Any idea what the correct size should be?

The filesize is 45.8 MB. You might be looking at the download limit size for Wincustomize. If you aren't a subscriber you can only download so much, although I wasn't signed in and was able to grab it.

wow dreamscene was using alot of cpu power! I was using the demo file that came with it and it was using about 20% on both my cores (intel core duo)...not to mention its pointless/nausiating(sp) trying to read text

I tried it out on my rig. It ran okey kind of. The video stuttered and it used 80% of one of my cores (Core 2 Quad @ 3.2GHz).. It ran on all 3 of my monitors though just .. badly. I hope the final fixes some of the issues I'm experiencing.

I'm using an 8800GTX and a 7800GT with the new 100.64 drivers on an X64 install.

ok so I thought Windows update was suppose to auto download these updates.. I just checked Windows updates and seen the Junk email filter one, and a USB mouse driver one..

Is it since they are "optional" updates it doesnt download them? Or give me a notification saying they are available?

I've had to turn it off, I use my computer all day about 40% of the time over Remote Desktop and unfortunately DreamScene preview at least doesn't follow the "turn off wallpaper" option in the Remote Desktop client. Hopefully when it's finished they will sort that out.

    • Microsoft should never have purchased anything after RARE.
    • Call of Duty: Vanguard, EA Sports FC 26, and more come to Xbox Game Pass by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft is in the process of making some big changes to Xbox Game Studios right now, which might include studio shutdowns, but Game Pass drops aren't pausing for that. The second wave of June was just announced, unveiling another Call of Duty addition, the latest soccer game from EA, an indie road trip hit from last year, and more. While Microsoft said it won't put Call of Duty titles on Game Pass on the day of launch anymore, older titles keep landing, with the latest one being 2021's Call of Duty: Vanguard. Here are all the games that were announced today for Xbox Game Pass, their platforms, and arrival dates: Junkster (Cloud, XBOX Series X|S, Handheld, and PC) – June 16 Call of Duty: Vanguard (Cloud, Console, and PC) – June 17 EA Sports FC 26 (Cloud, Console, and PC) – June 18 Abyssus (Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, and PC) – June 25 RV There Yet? (Cloud, Xbox Series X|S, and PC) – June 30 Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 (Cloud, Console, and PC) – July 2 Winds of Arcana: Ruination (Cloud, Console, Handheld, and PC) – July 6 From the bunch, Junkster is the sole day-one drop into Game Pass libraries of this selection. As new games arrive, eight will be leaving the Game Pass programs on June 30. Here's the full list of leaving titles: Mecha Break (Cloud, Console, and PC) Payday 2 (Console) Rise of Tomb Raider (Cloud, Console, and PC) Tomb Raider (Cloud, Console, and PC) Slay the Spire (Cloud, Console, and PC) Ultimate Chicken Horse (Cloud, Console, and PC) Volcano Princess (Cloud, Console, and PC) Unpacking (Cloud, Console, and PC) With June drops finished, Microsoft should have a new Game Pass announcement in about two weeks to reveal the first wave of games coming to subscribers in July. Already confirmed games for the month include the Halo: Campaign Evolved remake, Corsair Cove, SpeedRunners 2: King of Speed, and Mistfall Hunter.
