Newbie / Newbie having trouble with stability & autosaves
« on: June 11, 2006, 09:56:10 AM »
Hi, my name is Michael. I found darwinbots because I was interested in checking out genetic programming.

I have an amd dual core machine, and I am running Windows XP64.

I have a lot of crashes with 2.37.6 (it crashes about once every 1.5-2 hours). Usually overflow errors, once a complete machine crash.

Also I am unable to open most autosave files. The program either hangs or crashes. The few that do open have no graphic details (but this is fixed by turning all the graphics options on and back on again).

Worse is that a simulation that was opened from autosave runs slower and reports more total objects than it should.

Is it possible all these problems are related to running on XP 64? Is anyone else using darwinbots on XP 64?

Also, how fast should it be (for example on 16000 x 12000 I get speeds from 8 cps to 40cps depending on population, with fast mode & flicker mode turned on. Darwinbots only ever uses 50% cpu -- is there a way to make it use more? The load seems to distribute over both cores, so I don't think it is because it is bound to a single core.
