I’m trying to release a new version of my game and I’m getting a few issues. A knowledgeable user emailed me to say
“The new version will not work under Windows 7 64 bit (not sure about 32 bit) with the Aero theme – It distorts the 256 color palette or goes to a black screen. Found a way to get around it by changing the Desktop Theme to windows Basic (which turns off Aero and it’s effects)”
Can I get round this in code as it seems a bit much to expect users to have to do this?
I have a bat file that runs the program using
java -jar -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true AlienSwarm.jar
and this seemed to fix things for me but obviously not for him.
Game is here if it helps.
Cheers Mike
