BSP needs more system resources? is it a bug?

[Sonickydon]

i just noticed that the latest version takes a while to load.. and the system seems to crowl while it's loading. Is it because it needs more resources or is it some bug?(memory leack etc.)
i'm using it on a 600mhz PIII 768mb ram voodoo3500tv with directX 8.1 (yeah i know i have to upgrade but it worked fine till this new version came up :)

[jmrego]

yeah. me too.

I have the same problem.
Bsplayer takes 30 secondes to load and during this period my CPU runs at 100 % :evil: :evil:

Maybe a problem with Windows 98 ???

[goety]

using win XP
bsplayer loading time has no noticable diferences
with previous versions, also i don't have the 100% cpu stuff,

weird.

Same here, takes ages to load, while 494 is still lightning fast

Windows98 4.10.2222 (2nd Edition)
AMD Duron 950Mhz
256Mb

I think that the problem is Windows 98 beacause a friend has tested on win xp :evil: :evil: and it launch instantely.

well i forgot to mention that i am using windows ME .. so it's not only the win98 that have the problem..
this is a wild guess but i'll ask anyway.
is there any chanse that it could be because i use an old directx version? i've read in the forum posts that bsp had some problems with the directx9 in the past so i didn't upgrade it.. does it still has problems with it? i have disabled system restore and i don't have the time to make a ghost backup of my disk,so i don't want to risk an upgrade of the directx since it can't be removed afterwards..

I am using DirectX 9.0a. No problem on Win XP. All works fine (Celeron 1.46, 256MB RAM, TNT2M64/32MB).

[Sonickydon]

well..it was a wild guess.. i upgrated the directX to 9.0a but the problem is still there.. and it sucks big time .specialy if you use autorun menus from cd's

With the new version (0.86 Build 497 released (16.6.2003)) it works fine on my Win 98. :lol: My problem is now solved.

[Sonickydon]
