Thank you assholes

@herf I kept the graph to be a flat line that didn't fluctuate with any time of day. I could be wrong about the "7.5hrs before wakeup" diagnosis -- my observation was actually the crossing from 11:59pm into 12:00am.
-
f.lux does its calculations in UTC (basically Greenwich Mean Time) so there should not be any crazy bugs around midnight. How long does this problem last?
-
I realize I posted in the "thank you assholes" thread, whoops. I was just looking to see if anyone was having my problem, before voicing my issue. Anyway, in fairness I will be vocal in saying "thanks" -- I've been using f.lux and recommending it to people for a while. Keep it up!
In response to "How long does this problem last?" -- I don't give it a chance to see how long it lasts, I just immediately reset it to what I want. No worries.
-
I am impressed with your support by the way. <1min response time to my initial inquiry. Good job!
-
haha yeah sometimes I do a lot of it at once.
Keep us posted if you find any more animation bugs, but maybe make a new thread. ;) -
@herf Maybe. But how do you explain that v3 worked perfectly and v4 is bugging ? Is the new version more taxing in some way ? Using some supposedly recent features from the host system ?
-
@Spede-Pasanen our main complaint about v3 was that f.lux caused too much impact for games...because we were constantly looking for exactly this series video card and driver bug. It has two unique problems: 1. it forgets color settings on sleep and 2. it prevents you from fixing the problem without some extra effort.
We started backing off polling (checking) in the background and did it only sometimes, and we thought we had kept enough of the polling to fix it - and actually, v4 works with newer drivers.
My recommendation is either to update your drivers to something more recent than 2010 or to install our old version instead, which will still keep polling all the time:
-
@herf I see, thank you for the explanation. I will try updating the drivers, and if that doesn't solve my issue, I'll revert to the old version in your link. Cheers :)

This post is deleted! -
@herf Update : it appears that the new drivers have indeed solved my issue. Thank you !
-
Happy that worked for you. Closing this topic - please look for the Version 3>4 upgrade thread for additional questions.
