AWPC

@ Sean Glad to help hope you can fix [e classic]:congrat:[/e] @ Azdude Thanks for the good tips I will use those wherever possible [e classic]:)[/e] I tended to convert to .mp4 or .mov before and both are around 4-5% GPU useage depending on the dream used. My display is @ 4K so the power draw on the system is already quite heavy! Going to try .h264 on some see how those turnout.

Did you encode the video / dreams yourself? Either way, could you post any dreams to a cloud service (Google Drive, OneDrive, Dro

Nope nothing fixes it other than not using .wmv files for now or converting to other formats. Its broken in the preview window as well just does not seem to work well with .wmv files right now.

Just upgraded to version 10 (from 8) and want to report that if you select any .wmv video there is a serious bug as the FPS is broken. This means .wmv videos play at an insane FPS causing GPU useage to shoot up to 97% making the PC unuseable unless you do not select a .wmv format background. .wmv played perfectly on version 8 on Windows 10 with the very latest build & all updates applied. Please can you look into or fix this I have a lot of .wmv format video backgrounds I do not w

Thanks for the update it appears to be working ok for me @ 4K (3840x2160).

As you lose the Win 8 licence when upgrading to Win 10 I hope Stardock make allowances for that in the price for Deskscapes 10.Deskscapes 8 is not going to work for those of use who bought it unless we buy another licence for Win 8!

[quote who="wolfsilverlone" reply="21" id="3579491"] could u pass that over? I only have the lastest setup file [/quote] Its only there for 48 hours then gets deleted. You have to install in Win 8 compatibility mode as well otherwise it will fail on Win 10. Link deleted. It's not permissible to distribute Stardock's files without consent. - Admin.

8.20 works on Win 10 but 8.21 does not and you have to install 8.20 in Win 8 compatibilty mode as well.

8.20 works on Win 10 depending on the Dream used but still locks sometimes. 8.21 does not work at all.
