DreamScene (preview)

[PSYCHODAD]

Anyone checked this out yet. Just noticed it on Windows update.

[Dragunov]

[slaWter]

[PSYCHODAD]

Not sure. They call it a preview.

I did.

[Dragunov]

Not yet in my download list

I use Windows Vista Ultimate OEM NL

[slaWter]

It works here now, I got some huge flickering before but it's ok now.

Update: Nope, flickers again after a restart...

[Dragunov]

Well I think I need to wait til they release it for the Dutch people aswell :)

Don't see it listed in Ultimate Extras. But that looks just like the Windows Energy screensaver in Vista.

I tried the leaked beta. It was neat...but It's just one of those things I'd only have running when friends came over so I could "show off."

[Dr.Nick]

Stardock Deskscapes is out too:)

:thumbdwn: Sucks 92% of cpu...

That's weird, max i've seen is 14% but it only jumps there; it usually sits around 5%. The nv driver seems to crash a lot though, cant really use it like this

I have Vista 64 bit Ult. Installed all the updates including the preview. Nothing is there, so I guess it doesn't work :rolleyes:

EDIT: Got it loaded up, worked one time and now it's borked. It just flashes from the desktop to a black screen, then Winblows pops up saying the Nividia drivers have recovered from a critical problem. Since the drivers I'm using are just released today, it looks like either Nvidia or M$ (or both) still have somethin screwed up

[Ancient]

It finally showed up for me on Ultimate Extras. Installed it and it runs great. Even the videos in the Samples Videos folder work as Dreamscenes. It'll be fun to see what people will do with this.

[shungokusatsu]

Working great, got it running the 720p MGS4 trailers :D

[pingu2]

works great for me on my 7800gtx - shows both mpg and wmv videos with about 3% cpu usage (I can spare 3% cpu when not in a game!)..

If anyone finds a cool resource for downloading good looping videos (I'm sure a lot of people will be making some) to use widescreen then please post a link ;)

My desktop is set to 3200x1200, looks like its not optimized for dual monitors.
Also the background video is very choppy.
L:D

any place to download some some good looping videos of waterfalls? or plain fields? tropical settings?

well as it just got rlsed I dont think there are, but certainly will be in the future

Flashes my screen a few times. NV driver crashes and reboots my system. Pretty sad they demo'ed this, made it seem like it was ready and then we get a preview that doesn't work and the full ver might be released in a few months. Stardock Deskscapes works fine.
