RPT 00006 : out of memory/out of disk with screensaver and DirectX
ROOMS build: 442 [beta]
Status: fixed by replacing the file RDXRM.dll
If you run the 1-Above-3D screensaver with DirectX on either:
- The default desktop world (desktop442.rwq)
- 4D Drain Maze
- 4D Refinery
Then the system will gradually use up memory until the screensaver
stops working properly. You may get a message saying drive C: is full.
This will clear itself up when the screensaver exits.
Explanation: Microsofts directX does not always release objects when
told to (i.e. to free up memory when no longer needed). We now take
stronger steps to force it to free up memory.
What you do: Download the single file [80 Kb], save it
locally to your hard drive and then copy this file into your ROOMS "bin"
folder. Typically this folder is:
C:\Program Files\rooms3d\rooms\bin
You will be asked if you want to replace the existing RDXRM.dll file,
say Yes. You will need to stop running ROOMS to be allowed to replace
the file.
When you next start ROOMS or the screensaver everything should be OK.
