Blank Screen

Friend of Data posted on 25.07.2022 | 03:25:

Hello,
I too have been using the screensaver in version 2.2 for many years. I like the new version 2.5.01 very much and I am enthusiastic. However, I'm having the same problem as some others here. The displays remain black after the end of the screen saver. I have already tried everything that was offered in many forums. Nothing has helped so far. Too bad. What can I do. I use Windows 10.
Thanks for an answer.

Hi Friend of Data, sorry that you too are encountering this bug. I am still looking into it. I have a hard time of replicating this bug. And this makes it more difficult to locate & squash the bug oh well I will continue to work on this and post updates here. Cheers
Hi, just wanted to report another case of blank screen when exiting. It works fine until you move the mouse then screen blank. Can open start menu, and ALT+TAB, but nothing else (not even task manager). To be clear, those other apps do open, but they are obscured by the blank screen. Had to reboot. Using Win10 Pro 22h2 x64, Ryzen 5 3600, asus b550-plus, 32gb ram, gtx980ti.

Love to see other ships of the line - especially the Defiant!

Awesome screen saver! Been using it for years! Every compute I user (work/home) has it installed!

Ultrawide monitors

Hi,

I just upgraded to an ultrawide monitor and was wondering if, in the future, 21:9 screensavers would be available?

Thanks and keep up the good work!

Awesome!

Stumbled on this tonight and just installed it. So awesome, many thanks!

Just noticed a couple of comments down someone is running this on multiple screens, with each screen running a different animation. Any tips on how to achieve that?
I've got 2 screens running Extended in Win10 and I have the same animation on both screens.

Either way it's amazing and thanks again for your work on this!

System 47 for Mac?

Hey System 47 smile I have loved system 47 for years. I have been using it on my mac until several years ago when it was no longer compatible.

I noticed the updated system 47, it seems like it is only for windows, is that right? Is there a new mac version that can run on modern MacOS?

Huge Fan! I love the star field 47 you have created as well! LCARS live long and prosper!

Thank you so much for reading and hopefully answering my questions. smile

Comment:

Hi DT, thanks for your kind words. Yep, the current version is only for Windows because my old Mac machine died a while back. Though I recently got a hold of working Mac.

I did some initial testing on the animation. The good news is that the 64-bit Flash projector file (a single binary program without the need of Flash plugin) did run smoothly on the latest MacOS. The projector file only displays the animation in a window frame. Although it can be resized to fullscreen, it is still not a screensaver package. Later I need to figure out how to wrap the projector binary into a screensaver package. Fingers crossed if that's possible.

Oh, there's a displaying bug related to the aspect ratio on this projector program. Once that's fixed, I can post this Mac projector file here on this site if people are interested. At the mean time, may I suggest playing System47 videos in fullsreen mode from YouTube:

I know, I know, it's not the same. And it consumes data bandwidth... I will try my best to work on the Mac version of S47.

Cheers :-)

4 monitor update Update

I realized after your response that Nvidia setting might be the culprit in my setup. Since Im using 3 of my monitor in Surround mode, they acts as one monitor and System 47 maxes out using the vertical resolution, so it looks line only my center monitor its been use and my side monitors are black. So the screen saver is playing center of my and on my 4th monitor. I decided to disabled Surround and try again and it does work on all 4 screen. You C++ code is fine lol [url=https://1drv.ms/u/s!AkvxIf0a6YmribV6YwHL47EQk5PZnw?e=aKfGoW]4 Screens[/url]

Ah, that sounds very logical! Thanks for solving one of the mysteries and sharing your finding smile

Cool photo of System47 running on 4 of your monitors!! Very jealous big grin

Have you try running STARFIELD 47 on your rig? The animation probably would be more sluggish on multi monitors unless you have a powerful CPU/GPU. STARFIELD 47 is more CPU intensive, and all browsers aren't created equally

Starfield47 webapp is awesome. I must learn more about Babylon.js so I can make some of my own stuff.
Great Job.

Comment:

Thanks!!! Yeah, I've only started using Babylon.js this March. I didn't know about it before. It was a challenge at the beginning to learn about its structures, but after a while, I got super impressed by this framework's capabilities. If you're comfortable with JavaScript, Babylon.js can be fun to learn ;-)

Cheers
