Sheep stuttering every few seconds

Submitted by SheikYabouti on Sun, 2008-06-08 08:44.

Hey people, I'm having a problem running electric sheep, it seems to hang for a few milliseconds every 5 seconds or so, its very frustrating as it ruins the flow of an otherwise beautiful program.

Is anyone else experiencing this or has solved the problem?

I'm running vista 64 bit
and have tried the beta and stable versions of the client

I've also tried defragmenting the HD

Thanks for any ideas or solutions

Jules

Same sheep stuttering problem on Mac OS X

Submitted by nightowl31385 on Fri, 2008-07-25 21:35.

I'm experiencing this annoying sheep stuttering problem, and I have been ever since I switched to Leopard. I'm running a Macbook Pro (2.16Ghz Core Duo) with Leopard (10.5.4), and I can't seem to get rid of this problem. It's weird how the slightest video stutter can make Electric Sheep so much less satisfying.

Before the switch to Leopard, I never had a single problem, and it's really frustrating to have my sheep not working correctly. If anyone has seen a fix for this problem, or knows if anything is being done to make this bug go away, I would be very grateful for the help.

Thanks,

Luke N.

I'm running 32 bit vista and it fixed it for me, I just have to deal with the beta text in the corner of my sheep!

Thanks for the link, I'm giving the new one a go,

would still love a fix for this problem though as i have just downloaded all the mega packs of the old flock.

I don't ever remember having problems in the past, is this a problem that has only manifested recently?

Thanks again

Jules

Still having problems

The new beta version is now stuttering as well! This is really frustating me now, is there no one out there who has solved this problem? Or is it something only I am experiencing?

I had the same problem in windows, which was fixed by flashing the bios.

Mine stutters as well

Submitted by Wonderbot on Tue, 2008-06-24 11:26.

And I'm running Vista 64bit too.

I'm a complete noob to electric sheep though. And I have no idea how any of this works but I'm interested to learn. If it's a bug, then oh well. But if it's just something not configured right by me then I'd like to fix it :D

But idk about flashing the bios >_>

same problem as well

Submitted by chrissphinx on Tue, 2008-06-24 19:24.

I have the same two problems of grainy sheep and stutters between sheeps. I've read 2.7 will fix these two issues, but when will that be compiled for OS X? Could use more verbose documentation as well, as this is not a very user-friendly install or run. Hope to see this improve because it is an excellent idea!

edit: I've actually just used the 'S' key and it tells me that it is "not downloading" even though I have my port forwarded, this could be an ISP problem perhaps. But could someone tell me what it should be saying if it is downloading new sheep?
