Hi, i made this game in DirectX9 on a 32 bit computer running windows XP.

My computer is a very cheap celeron processor bought for €36,- new more then 5 years ago.

It has on board video card, and my game runs very fast on it.

On this 64-bit i7 with video card and windows10 it runs at a very shocky framerate with many enemys in screen.

How is this possible ?, its not about the higher screen resolution, i tryd windowed mode with the same results.

Maybe anyone can help how to set up my game so it also runs fast on newer computers ?

thanks

No the windows 10 computer is this desktop PC,

the game is made with my unfinished "Fast Engine". ( only it not makes this name true on a 64 bit pc ironicly )

Maybe i have a setting wrong somewhere ?

thanks

Thanks you Ninja,

i looken in task manager how much GPU %,

exactly where the slow part comes, the GPU goes down to 3%, how weird, while before that about 15%.

I might have some flag wrong set, i have the default settings from the examples i guess, it might have to do with the D3DXMesh class.

I let you know tomorrow if its good or not.

Thank you again Ninja it all works perfect now.

First i tryd the mesh option to hardware only, then i got a crash, so i set that back.

Then i changed the init direct3D to use hardware, and all working perfectly now, the whole screen is full of enemys without any slowdown.

Nice, very happy.
