SyntaxBomb - Indie Coders

Good morning . I migrated to windows 11 the other day and yeah it's nice and all and on the surface much the same as 10. I got it from " the windows 11 download page "  I have installed it and also made a flash drive with it for emergencies . No problems with it so far and AGK works fine . Also I did the upgrade and all my files and apps were 100% intact when it had finished installing which was a massive bonus.  Here's a link to where you can get it.

The day I downloaded was  Wednesday evening and it was starting to be available on the Tuesday.

I've been using Windows 11 since June and even though it's just Windows 10 with a few new apps and a new interface I still really like the changes.
The new Windows 11 interface is a lot more organised than Windows 10 ever was and it just feels more modern.
And I absolutely love the way WSL2 is coming along, but to be fair I've been using that since Windows 10 heh.
Having said that; I still use Linux as my main OS and only really jump into Windows when I need to play a game that doesn't work on Linux.

Yes I agree I haven't found anything I don't like about it and AGK works well with it . 

But do Blitz3D apps work?

I don't know but my first game I did was in Blitz3d and that would run on my desktop running windows 10 but not my laptop with windows 10 or 11 . But  we need to know . I will try and find something built with Blitz3d and try it .

well Grindalf I downloaded a game demo called Mug quest on itch.io and yes after installing direct play it does indeed play. So yes indeed Blitz3d will work on windows 11.

I cant find Mug Quest on itch.io

Hi Grindalf sorry my mistake it's on Game Jolt

It downloads with some other crap just thought I better let you know.
Can't remember what  they were now but I scanned them and no viruses were detected.
Just took another look and it's there clearly stating made with Blitz3D

Awesome thanks for testing that for me

Yep found it, that is Blitz3D for sure. I keep thinking I should move on to another tool but I never find anything that does what I want like Blitz3D does.

I feel the same about AGK I'm always on the lookout for something better but have not found it yet but am pretty content with what I use . I used Blitz3d for my first pc game and it worked without any trouble . The thing I like about AGK are the regular updates that keep it current and it is pretty good at what it does ,nice smooth graphics on the whole . Have a nice day.

Just upgraded to it yesterday. It wasn't too happy with Adobe Photoshop CS4 being installed or to be more precise the share library that adds it to the File Explorers context menu.
The new taskbar didn't like the 'one click' launching of File Explorer with it, but didn't mind it launching via the launchers context menu. But once it was launched by the context menu, then a 'one click' launch would work. This behaviour threw me off, making me think that I had come across some obscure bug with the taskbar having issues with my hardware.

After removing all attached devices and having the same issue. So I opened up the task manager after a reboot and attached explorer.exe to the Visual Studios debugger and tried to launch and got a access violation exception. Stopping the debugger then looking at the debug output. The last shared library was Adobe Drive CS4 BIB.dll (Bravo Interface Binder). That pointed me in the right direction. After I unregistered the library that adds it to the explorer context menu with RegSvr32 /u "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Drive CS4\ADFSMenu.dll", which is related to loading it's context menu, it works normally.

So just be aware with old software that want's to add things to File Explorer.

I used to get the access violation BSOD every 2 to 4 weeks on windows ten however since installing windows 11 so far it has not happened . At first it did happen after I upgraded to 11 but after doing a format and total reinstall all is good . touch wood .

I've had 16 days of not having the BSOD as they call it and hopefully that'll be an end to it if I can go without it happening for another 2 weeks I'll consider it cured .

After I unregistered the library (...)

What is unregistering a library, and how do you do that?
