Windows 7 Desktop wrapping

How to optimize games for NTHUSIM products.

Postby skywalker » Fri Sep 05, 2014 1:14 pm

Hi Brad,

I am testing your release 3.5 in my FSX simulator with Windows 7, my visual setup is; three BenQ1080ST projectors connected to a Th2go (180 degrees FOV), my video card is GTX 670.

I do understands that the latest version 3.5 support the desktop screen wrapping.

So far, all work ok, but the desktop is not wrapped. It only works when FSX is running.

This is how I do it now:
1. Start Windows 7 (projector images overlapping and distorted)
2. Start NTHUSIM (still trial mode)
3. Start FSX (the screen wrap works when FSX is running only).

I would like to know to activate NTHUSIM during the Windows’s start process to have the desktop wrapped.

Best regards.

Run nThusim and goto Tools in there you will see DWM enable that and you can also have nThusim run on Startup you just have to enable it..

Correct, in 3.5 there is a new option in the Tools menu that allows you to individually enable and disable certain pipelines for pre-warping. DWM is desktop. Please be mindful that version 3.5 DWM pre-warping only works in Windows 7. Windows 8.1 DWM pre-warping will be added to version 4.0.

Thank you for your prompt reply.

The version available in the STORE in v3.4. Would you let me know where can I find the version 3.5?

Thank you again.

Below is a link to the new Nthusim 3.5 build that adds Aero desktop functionality. To enable desktop pre-warping mode enter the Tools menu and enable the DWM checkbox. Desktop mode currently only works with Windows 7 in this development build. We are currently working on adding desktop mode to Windows 8.1.

Hi,

I downloaded the file from the link provided and installed. So far so good!

I selected the “Tools” option and ticked the ”DWM” and the ”Run Nthusim on startup” options.

Then I restarted the PC. The desktop is Not wrapped but it works ok when FSX is started.

I think I may have other problems.

I attached the log file (diagnostic) .

Any comment would be most welcome.

Best regards.

If you're using Windows 7, also make sure you're using an Aero enabled theme. In what location did you attempt to attach the log?

Hi,

It is taking a bit of time to reply. Yes, I am using Windows 7 as indicated in my previous mail, and Aero is enabled.
The desktop wraps still no working.

See attached a copy of the diagnostic file:

BTW: I bought a license last night but still no able to activate it.

Hrrrm, something is interfering with DWM pre-warp then. I'll have Alex look over things on this. I don't see any of the usual errors. The "Sat Sep 13 11:01:17 2014 : [2836] [INJ] Driver error : type=A, code=0x00770002, location=dxgi.dll:CreateDXGIFactory" isn't something I've ran into before. Is it a Photoshop filter?

Hi,
I don’t think is a Photoshop filter because I do not have Photoshop installed in that particular PC.

The following is the diagnostic file after I activate the Nthusim license.
