What to do with users who get software mode in Stage3d?

I've got a Stage3d AIR game compiled as a desktop exe using ADT and distributed through Steam. About 3% of users are being thrown into super-slow Software Mode. Most of them have relatively new video cards and up to date drivers, and they can play other 3d games. Some use NVIDIA, some ATI, some AMD, different versions of windows etc. My game instantiates a series of contexts determine the optimum stage3d profile but all of them fail to connect to the gpu for these users, even baselineConstrained. I am not using requestContext3DMatchingProfiles because it throws errors.
I need advice on how to approach this issue. I started collecting dxdiags and filed a bug, but since the cards are so disparate and I suspect the issue is with their particular systems and not the hardware itself, I'm not sure that's going to be useful. Obviously I tell them to update their drivers and make sure they're using the right card on dual-card systems (eg Nvidia Optimus). But when that doesn't work, what next?
Is there a standard test for stage3d compatibility that I could point these users towards?

I feel that the solution you proposed with the private LAN would be sufficient as long as the DVD drive and USB ports were access controlled to where you could be confident that no one would place disks or drives into them that might be infected with viruses
or malware.
Being that you are running scientific equipment with the PCs I can surely understand the cost of upgrades, and that it should be relatively easy to control what gets connected to the PCs.  But while this solution is in place, I would be researching
any way possible to accomplish the upgrade ultimately.
Please do not read this sentence. Please ignore the previous sentence.

  • Trying to identify what to change for user who has permissions on a library but gets no search results from the library

    We are running SP 2010 service pack 2.
    Search is working for people in general.
    Yesterday user Y asked me why they (user Y) does not get results when they search for documents in the library. They get results back when searching other libraries.
    The library has a limited number of users who can access.
    The user is explicitly added to the library's permissions with Read permission.
    When I look inside the library at specific documents, the user is listed as having Contribute,Limited Access privs on each document.
    As an admin, I have accessed the site and performed searches and gotten results. Others on the site with various permissions get results back.
    So  it appears that search is working.
    What other things can I check - via powershell perhaps - to help identify and resolve user Y's dilemma?

    What we found is this.
    At the site level, only 4 users have access. At the library level, 3 more users were added directly and given read permission.
    These three users could see the contents of the library, read the documents of the library, but when they attempted to search the library, got "Access Denied".
    I was able to negotiate for a resolution of this problem for us to create a new SharePoint group for the site, give it Read permissions,
    and add that group to the library permissions. I informed the owner that he could check other libraries and lists and remove that group if there were things there that should not be accesible.
    I also warned him that if he were to put something confidential in, say, the announcements section, he would need to remove the group from that list as well if he didn't want the people to see that.
    So, the users now can see the results page, which is returned as a URL immediately under the site.
    There were a couple other work arounds that we could have tried - moving the shared library to its own subsite with different permissions than the parent site, or having the users use the enterprise search and to refine the results down to the specific library.
    Thank you for your question!.

  • I need to know, what was the last user who modify the customer hierarchy???

    Someone know s, what´s the name of a table or something, to find the last user who modified the customer hierarchy, and the date.??
    Thanks everyone for your help!!!

    Hi Itzell,
    Try the following way
    -->goto se16  Enter the table CDHDR and press enter
    --> Enter  "KUNHIER" in  Change doc Obj..  and
         Enter the date range in Date field.
    YOu should get some items in the table.
    (       If there are no items, that means. no change was happened to the Customer Hierarchy structure or the changes were not being store. )
    -->  If you want more details refer to CDPOS too..

  • Need help with User Defined Aggregates - Statistical Mode

    I would like to use User Defined Aggregates (UDAG) to calculate the Statistical Mode. The mode is the most frequent value among a set of observations.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode_(statistics)
    In my application I aggregate an address level table of 130 million records to a ZIP4 level table of roughly 36 million records. Some ZIP4s will have 1 record, some may have 1000+ records. I need to use statistical modes to pick the most frequent values for some of the attribute fields.
    Presently I am using an approach from AskTom using the Analytic functions combined with nesting subqueries. The code works but it's cumbersome. I feel user defined aggregates should be able to perform a simpler more straightforward integration into SQL queries.
    I've reviewed several of the other posts in this forum on User Defined Aggregates. I feel I could write a procedure that calculates and average or merely concatenates strings. But this particular application of the UDAGs is stumping me. Rather than just increased a running total or count or concatenating a master string, you'd have to keep every distinct values and a count for how many times that value occured. Then evaluate those items to pick the most frequent to pass to output. I'm finding it difficult as a novice.
    Any, I'll post a quick example using the present approach that I want to replace with a UDAG:
    Here's a small table:
    DRD> desc statmodetest
    Name Null? Type
    ID NUMBER
    STATE VARCHAR2(2)
    REGION VARCHAR2(1)
    1* select * from statmodetest
    DRD> /
    ID ST REG
    1 TX W
    2 MN W
    3 CA W
    4 VA E

    15 FL E
    16 FL E
    17 TN E
    18 FL E
    19 WI E
    20 MA E
    Now here's a query approach that gets the MODE State value for each Region.
    1 SELECT DISTINCT region, mode_state, mode_state_cnt FROM (
    2 SELECT region,
    3 FIRST_VALUE(state) OVER (PARTITION BY region ORDER BY stcnt DESC) AS mode_state,
    4 FIRST_VALUE(stcnt) OVER (PARTITION BY region ORDER BY stcnt DESC) AS mode_state_cnt
    5 FROM (
    6 select id, state, region, COUNT(state) OVER (PARTITION BY region, state) AS stcnt
    7* from statmodetest t ) )
    DRD> /
    R MO MODE_STATE_CNT
    W CA 2
    E FL 4
    What I'd like to be able to do is have a UDAG that supports this style query:
    SELECT region, UDAGMODE(state)
    FROM statmodetest
    GROUP BY region ;
    Thanks,
    Paul

  • Issues with users who accidently drag a menu item

    Hi, I am a desktop support person and don't know much about how Java works, but I have a problem I think is Java related. Hoping someone will clue me in on what terms to use when troubleshooting this problem. Which is:
    My company has a homegrown application that uses Java. When some of our users (and only some of them) click on a menu item and accidently hold it down and drag, a little shortcut type icon shows next to their pointer as they are moving and when they release, the entire program just errors out in the form of the URL turns in to "about.blank". They have to shut down IE and start over.
    Can someone tell me what I can do to stop this behavior? We thought it was application related until we discover that it doesn't happen to everyone. So is there a setting in I/E or Java that needs to change?
    Any clues at least as to what terms I can use to further research would be greatly appreciated.

    What do you think the forum can do about it though?I think he was probably looking for some advice like what
    you mentioned. He probably has a very frustrating job and
    if he talked to the designers then he probably heard a line
    of bull and some excuses. He probably expected us to tell
    him that if IE was involved and there were windows with toolbars
    that it could possibly be an applet written in java. He
    probably needed to know that if this were the case (java applet
    or something else) that there wouldn't be any external fix
    that could be done and that in fact (as you mentioned) the
    bug would have to be fixed in the software and re-deployed.
    He also probably wanted some sympathy and it most likely is
    a one time futile attempt for a shot in the dark solution.
    I think he needed to know what you told him.

    p.s. I've been wrong lots of times, especially when i make conjecture.

  • What to do with t0 in Get Waveform Subset.vi

    I am new to LabVIEW.  I was trying to look at the Get Waveform Subset.vi, and it doesn't explain what to put in for t0.  At the moment, when I try and put my waveform through the subset VI and display that on a separate waveform, I get nothing displayed.  My settings are in the attached screenshot.  I am not getting any error message, therefore am struggling to understand what I am doing wrong.

    I have now attached a copy of my VI.  What I've been asked to do is produce a sine wave with the amplitude and frequency adjustable via controls on the front panel, which I have done.  However I also need to display a section afterwards.  I know I can wire up a control to the phase of the simulate signal VI, so do I have to just use the simulate signal VI twice, once with the full sine wave and once with the phase shift, or is there a less convoluted way of doing this?

  • Access from WebI/ Universe to SAP Query with user who has analysis authenti

    Hello together,
    I try to run and build a WebI report which is build on a universe based on SAP BW query. The user has restricted access to the data provider on which the SAP query is build. This restriction is based on analysis authentification (SAP BI 7.0) if I start the SAP query in BW the user has only restricted access to the data in the data provider (on which the SAP query is build). If I start the WebI report the user has full access to the data. I checked the authentification and in my opinion there is no other authentification in SAP BW which extends the restrictions.
    Has anyone an idea why the authentification doesn't work?
    Greetings Janine

    Hey here,
    I m creaing my universe on top of Infocube or multiprovider.
    >> The recommendation path is to use BW queries with the necessary Authorization Variables leveraging your BI Authorizations.
    For eg:
    I have 2 users, User1 and User2.
    Now if I want User1 should see data for CostCentre = UK,India.
    User2 should see data for CostCentre = US, UK,India
    >> This is part of BI Authorizations in BW.
    Here are my queries:
    1) Will User1 and User2 be able to see the data level access in Webi Report based on the their Login?
    >> assuming you follow the 2 steps mentioned above (Query and authorization variables) - yes
    If Data level access cannot be achieved in Webi via universe created on top of Infocube/Multiprovider then what is the approach to do so?
    >> Data level security is part of your BI authorizations in BW.
    In a nutshell, BO alone can't do that, one has to set up at BI level.
    Hope clarified all your doubts.

  • Suggestions what to do with current box, getting new one

    Hey guys just curious if I could get some ideas. My current machine (p4 3.4ghz EE, 1.2gb ram, BFG 7600GS 512mb) will be free for any purpose once I get my new build this week. I have several sata drives, an extra monitor, kb, mouse, etc. to make it fully functional alongside the new one if need be. What could I do with it? I don't need to sell it and would like some use of it. Any ideas?? I was thinking of a server, but I have a domain with host and tons of storage that does that more than well enough right now. Maybe a game server? What would you guys do ??
    Any ideas are much appreciated, TIA everyone

    Thanks guys!
    Yes, I didn't think of these. Installing different distros would be great for me to learn and explore linux further

  • Problems with User Tracker getting info on Unrouted Network

    I have two networks that I need UT info for, but both of the interfaces are not routed.  My thought was to configure an interface on each of these networks on a Cat 3750 and add a third interface into my management network to all Cisco Works to poll the switch for UT info.  I did this, but when I look at the ARP on the 3750 it isn't being populted.  I did a broadcast ping on both networks and I still don't see the ARP being populated.  Any ideas if this will work and if not suggestions on how to pull the UT info on these nonrouted networks?
    Thanks,
    Adam

    The 3750 would probably need to act as the default gateway for hosts on these networks so that it learns the ARP entries.  What you can do is change the hosts to use the 3750, then have the 3750 redirect the hosts to the actual default gateway.  An alternative would be to use something like the Embedded Event Manager to periodically ping sweep the connected subnets to keep the ARP cache populated.

  • User Profile getting deleted

    What happens when a user profile gets deleted? Does it prevent that user from accessing the sharepoint site or any site he has access to?
    One of our users have been moved from one OU to the other and manager got an email about his mysite getting deleted within 14days. I don't care if his mysite gets deleted until he has access to the main site.

    No, User Profiles do not impact permissions.
