Title: winamp with gunbound
Post by: thor on Jun 11, 2004, 04:08 AM
Hi, I've always used winamp in the background while playing Gunbound with no problems. Today I tried and winamp froze after finishing the song, and Gunbound runs very poorly after that. Winamp performs fine when i don't play Gunbound. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Does softnyx know, and are they planning to fix it?

I don't think GB is the problem, winamp tends to create lots of problems with any programs. Well, maybe it's just me. It takes a chunk of my computer memory =/

the base skin looks bad, but some of the skins are nice.  it's even got a well done mmd3 skin.
runs with a lot less resources than winamp.

I think Gunbound is the problem, since winamp runs fine with everything else, but when I run Gunbound, it freezes after the song.

I have the same problem...It's probably GameGuard...

For me, songs are okay, but videos are a no-no.

I got the exact same thing going on.  The reason I think it is gamegaurd is because it updated just before Winamp borked out.  So what I did was re-install winamp, and now it works fine as long as I don't alt+tab.  I am  not here to make sense of it, just to inform.

I did that and now it works fine for me...I don't have any problems if I Alt+Tab, either...

I still don't have problems with winamp, I have a suggestion:  use classic winamp version 2.77 or so.  The newer winamps are so horribly bloated and slow and buggy anyway, the classic might not look as good but you aren't looking at it anyway during gunbound.

It is not gunbound.  most likely something you did wrong with windows, or maybe the song you played is corrupt

I think the problem is a bit to common for it not to be GunBound related...I know several people who started having problems with Winamp only after that GameGuard update...

Use Winamp 5, but stick to a classic skin. It really doesn't take up that much resources.
