Help ! Java 5 to java 6 ....and running like a dog

General Discussions

Hello people.

We released an educational game using full screen exclusive mode last year. Running on java 5 it ran like a dream…now our users who have upgraded to 6 are complaining about speed and performance… I am somewhat at a loss to understand where our problem lies. But it would be good to know if anyone else had significant negative performance changes between 5 and 6

Though this isn’t really what you’re asking about, I recommend embedding the JRE with your games to avoid these problems.

Of course, that risks a new problem of having a new OS version come out that has some kind of problem with the current JRE. But that hasn’t happened yet so far as I know.

And on Mac OS X, it’s impossible to embed the JRE due to license restrictions.

Sorry about the duplication guys but Euan and I are colleagues and have posted separately on the same issue. :-[

Euan, if it’s ok we could consolidate discussion here: http://www.java-gaming.org/forums/index.php?topic=18328.0

Thanks.
