end of summer i guess? they still have to beta test it which i guessing will
begin at the begging of summer or a little bit before that but no one really
knows becuase they havent done coding it

Hi everyone:

[View Quote] Well I hope the Beta comes out sooner than that because I just installed
DirectX 8.1 and as a result, not only do I not have a functioning webcam
(though the cam itself still works), I also don't have a way to render the
graphics (yes, I'll admit a 3D Graphics Card would cure this problem, but
it's not like I can just go out and buy one like yesterday).

And since Aw has conviently cut off ALL support for 2.2 (BRILLIANT idea
guys - NOT!), I can't even LOG ON to AW (3.2 just sits there looking
dumbfoundingly confused like everything else I have which requires the usage
of DirectX forcing me to do a CTRL-ALT-DEL and END TASK to close the
program).

The return of support for 2.2 would be an excellent idea as a backup because
AT LEAST I could log on to AW for chatting (wouldn't do much for my 3D
Homepage building, but hey...). But alas, Corporate America doesn't believe
in providing support for something old once they've already cut it off. :-(

Life's rough. Life's tough. But we all somehow manage to get over it. :-)

Cheers for now everyone... :-)

According to Roland (this info dates from a Tech Talk a while back, since
there haven't been any for a while) AW management want the beta to start
about now... Roland didn't agree, so I don't know what's happening now, but
I seriously doubt it will take as long as that.

Knowing the pressure Roland is under by his upper cheeses who managed to
frustrate every user and staff, I wouldn't discount the rumor that 3.3 is
coming out next month, when the new pricing plan is in place. In a way, it'd
kind of make sense (one of the reasons why I don't believe it. lol) to
update the browser if you want to update the entire user base. Why would
people sit around paying 10 dollars a month for a version they paid 20 a
year for that's almost a year old? I think it's a year old, seems like an
eternity for me. lol. You get the point, I think they're trying to rush it,
which is bad news for any program.

Let me guess, you're trying to run it at 120 m vis on a 386 with 32 MB of
RAM in DirectX mode, right? =P If you can get to the options screen, turn
DirectX mode off and use software mode instead.

Hi everyone:

[View Quote] Tried it. Didn't work. :-(

Thanks for trying to help though... :-)

Hi everyone:

[View Quote] Nope. I have a Pentium 166 with 64 MB of RAM and WinBLOWS 98 (original
edition).

A couple friends of mine thought it sounds like a video driver issue (which
I'm inclined to agree). I have an ATI TV Wonder (PCI version) with the
latest drivers straight from the ATI website.

That's the way I had been running it all along, but as it stands now, I
can't get past the bitmap image which says that Internet connections are
being established. It just freezes up there.

Does that help???

hmmmm, 166MhZ sounds painfully low to me... I'm unlucky enough to run 233MhZ
MMX (gives a small extra boost) and AW often runs pretty slow... ESPECIALLY
3.2, I never had such lag and problems with 3.1. Also, many problems
disapeared when I bought a new hardware accelerator :-)) I suggest you get a
GeForce (GF2 will probably be best for your system, I'd suppose) card,
they're good and many are pretty inexpensive :-))

Maybe it freezes because it's loading up the windows ;) it takes a little
while even for me to load them up on my 733 MHz machine. Give it a minute
or two, it might work.

He doesn't even get to the main window. So it can't be a video problem
(yet). Are you sure you're not behind a firewall or something?

AW 3.2 starts initing the video in the splash, before loading up the main
window.
