Zombies not moving on Windows

The zombies' positions don't change unless I move the window. And once it is moved they don't automatically update. I can move my character around and kill the zombies, but they stand in place.

Happens with the 32bit and 64bit windows ludum dare versions.

@egonelbre this issue is not in the binaries downloaded from v0.1 https://github.com/adinfinit/zombies-on-ice/releases/tag/v0.1

[egonelbre]

Yeah, this might be something related to the particular machine. It worked for me at that time...

However, since it's pretty much unactionable at this moment, I'll close it.

@egonelbre I can reproduce with the latest master, but it is working fine with the older v0.1

[egonelbre]

Can you try find out where it gets stuck and whether the main loop is still running? I'm unfortunately unable to repro the issue to debug.

[egonelbre]

Alternatively, a specific commit might help as well.

It is with the glfw version try my fork's master https://github.com/phanirithvij/zombies-on-ice on windows (v3.1 glfw, v.3.3 gl), without a joystick it works normally. But when the game starts with a joystick connected or if a joystick is connected in the middle of the game the zombies stop moving until the window is resized and will move extremely slowly afterwords.

With the current master in this main repo, the same thing happens even without the joystick but with the plain keyboard.

6ee12bf is where it started

I Will get back to you in a few hours.

Maybe it needs https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/go-gl/glfw/v3.3/glfw#SwapInterval?

[egonelbre]

The only thing close enough I saw was: glfw/glfw@8309e0e

So maybe DWM or VSync issue?

[phanirithvij]

I don't really much glfw but the more zombies there are the more each of their speed is.
