Tell you what...get a computer to open 7 graals at once and still be functional and FedEx it to me (for verification *cough*) and I'll give you $100 :P

lol, ur right, as soon as i pressed Start on the 4th, all 4 of them crashed lol. but at least i didnt get a windows blue screen of doom! =)

Eek, Why can I open like 10-15 graals and no one else can? http://www.delteria.f2s.com/images/Image2.gif

Maybe we can't copy and paste window pictures into paint as well as you.

I opened graal that many times : /

The light at the center would not have come outside the graal window. It is restricted by the program.

I'd guess that was just eye-candy courtesy of IcePick. Either that or he's running one BIG Graal window that simulates lots of little Graal windows and has a shiny thing in the middle. But I'd opt for the former.

I can open how many graals I want. I got a server as a computer.


Server: A computer that companys use that have lots of harddrives in it.

Why dont i believe this.
Your system resources would die.

now if you had like a 1.7Gz processor (or dual or quad) and 4gigs of ram MAYBE but I still think the first Graal process would eat up as much processor time as it can chew

If I close all other applications and all the misc stuff that resides in my systray I can get 4 clients to load without a hitch. The 5th one nukes the system. I didn't have to reboot though. I just clicked through all the error boxes and I was able to keep chugging right along.

eeewwww....Galen's desktop is cluttered

If I don't use DX7 I can run 2 Graal's at a time with no problems....nice speed.....I got to 4 the other nice then it wouldn't open anything else.....nothing evil, just said it wouldn't open another one cuz it was being eaten from the inside out.

I always got that error message when I tried changing servers in 1.40...

The problem is not the memory,
the problem is windows - it only has
limited space for the GDI resources
which is used for windows and images
and that stuff. It is not only buggy
(ressources are not completely freed,
so when using IE or other programs
it MUST crash after some time),
it is also very small and doesn't increase when
you have more RAM.
When testing older version I had to open
like 3 or 4 Graals at the same time to test
online stuff (because I didn't had internet
at home), but Graal2001 is using Direct3D
and has more windows and bigger
images for tiles and bigger map, so the
stupid GDI resources aren't enough for more
than 3 or 4 Graals.
I guess Microsoft will never fix that.

There is a known leak in GDI.EXE and GDI32.DLL in NT4.x, Win95, Win95osr2, Win98, Win98se, Win2000, WinMe, and WinXP which manifests itself in various ways. There is no way to clear the lost GDI resources without a reboot.
