Windows port of Flurry screensaver


Recommended Posts

Had a look at it, all the presets seem the same to me, plus its sort of un-interesting ... I thing I will stick to Sachs Aquarium 2 ... Gotta love those fish :) ... very peaceful

If you're using Windows XP (2000 may do this too), then you are getting BSOD errors whilst the "automatically restart with BSODs" option is enabled lol. I can't remember how to disable it, sorry

I had one of the original versions of this screesaver installed a few months ago. It seemed to work fine. Perhaps it is a problem with Nvidia's latest driver revision? It is a OpenGL screensaver right?

i had the same problem with the screensaver not working or going really slow... just update ur video card drivers.

Hey, thanks man. I never wanted to update to the detanator drivers because it screwed up my screen width and height. But it solved the slow problem, and the width and height problem didn't happen.

Hey, everyone try this out with vital desktop: http://www.vital-desktop.com/download.php

Runs great as my background and doesn't even touch the processor. Plus, the fade away effect makes it *really* cool :D

Drempels is cool too

That's pretty neat, but it's waaay too distracting

This screen saver will run extremely slow on your PC if your gfx card driver does not have hardware support for Open GL. That is what I liked about my Nvidia card when I had my PC, it had great Open GL support.

I don't know what that one guy was talking about because this screen saver runs smooth on my 12" pbook and my eMac.

I tried this screensaver at work on a P4 2.4 Ghz machine and it gave me about 3 fps. :p It only has onboard Intel chipset video.

    • I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
    • Watch Louis Rossmann's recent experience on YouTube about trying to get a warranty replacement from Samsung. It's crazy.
    • That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.
    • They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
