What did you put in that "VAT exemption ID" field ?

B*****ks. I thought always I can use PayPal with Reg.net. So I'm in the same situation as Mikey_C.

@RacerX

Why don't you use JXFS ?

@salass00

So why these apps uses stack instead of other memory then ?

@djstormx + all

Checking stack usage with Ranger shows rather usually that apps uses quite small amount of stack but using a large stack helps in stability with some apps. My guess is using big stack buggy apps can happily overwrite their own stack (unused parts of it) instead of overwriting memory that belongs to other apps or the OS. So I welcome virtual memory addressing and full memory protection in future for our OS. It looks like all Linux (and maybe Winblows ones also) apps are very buggy. (Maybe coders don't find those bugs because the memory protection in other OSes hides all bugs transparently and silently.)

I tested this game on my Linux box too. And it showed a message on screen that all missions are not fully implemented and the cheat mode is enabled. Use F9 to skip missions. I found that the first mission of both allied and soviet are impossible to play so I skipped them.

I read from some readme that all missions exists on both discs. Only videos are different.

Now I made a new partition and formatted it to SFS for run. I made succesful 4.1 install to that partition. (And I gave it higher boot priority.) So boot times on that partition are: cold 32 secs (Uboot delays 3+3 so if you have 1+1 you can take 4 secs away from 32 so it'd be 28 secs then) and soft 11 secs to full WB and full AmiDock (19 secs without run in front of AddNetinterface). Only modification is that run >nil: AddNetinterface (and USB and a1ide removed). My original boot partition is formatted to FFS2.

I have developed several apps from scratch for OS4, I have used OS4 since the first pre-release and like I said in my first post I tested a lot of different things. So obviously I have handled all these most obvious things. Don't think I am an average Joe person. I did put AddNetinterface to a separate Startup-network script and I put "Wait 20 secs" command in the beginning of that script to make sure everything else is loaded before starting network. (Edit: Do I have to say I had "run <>nil: Execute S:Startup-network" in Startup-sequence !) And that didn't change anything. So I removed that "Wait 20 secs" from that script because networking is not the problem. And if I didn't remove certain lines from kicklayout I wouldn't be able to even boot my machine at all to OS4.1 like I have told in several "OS4.1 CD doesn't boot" threads.

My User-startup is quite short. There's only a couple of fs_plugin_cache's, mount KingCON and only few assigns. (I think MUI settings are quite important to handle in every boot if you want any MUI apps to work.)

And like I said already system becomes slow after Workbench screen is opened. LoadWB command is AFTER "addnetinterface" and "Execute S:User-startup" lines. Because WB screen is open it means that "LoadWB" line is executed already. There's only "SoundPlayer" and "Endcli >nil:" lines after "LoadWB".

PS. I think I found one problem in all Samba installation instructions. They tell always to put Samba: assign to User-startup. But User-startup is executed AFTER AddNetinterface and they tell also to use that assign in Internet prefs. Either that Samba: assign should be in Startup-sequence BEFORE AddNetinterface line OR you should use absolute paths instead of an assign in Internet prefs. I think it's pure luck if system have finished running User-startup before Roadshow and your router have finished negotiating IP addresses and Roadshow starts starting network services like Samba f.ex.

PSS. I made myself a new OS4.1 install CD yesterday and removed all USB and a1ide stuff from its kicklayout. I tested it and that CD at least boots just fine. I might try to do a fresh clean install of 4.1 someday.

Same here.

My boot times were some 40-45 secs from cold boot with 4.0. Now after I switched to 4.1 my boot times went over 1 minute times. After WB screen is opened and icons are shown there's busy pointer some 30 secs and the whole system is sluggish starting apps from WBStartup or opening anything else. Testing a lot of different things like removing all WBStartup stuff, removing loads of datatypes or disabling WB background pics didn't change anything. Finally I found two things on my system.

One: I commented (removed) SoundPlayer line from Startup-sequence. Somehow it was making things going slow. It didn't matter if boot jingle was disabled or enabled in sound.prefs.

Two: I removed AmiDock from WBStartup and I'm starting it now from a separate script after small (5 secs) delay.

Now my boot times are:
* From cold reset: 39 secs to full WB & 67 secs (39+28) to full AmiDock

* From soft reset: 17 secs to full WB & 48 secs (17+31) to full AmiDock

(I have two visible panels and 4 minimized panels (minimizer.docky) in AmiDock.)

(Those cold reset times includes drive detection and two Uboot countdowns. Both countdowns are set to 3 secs.)

I was shocked seeing those Pianeta videos how fast AOS4.1 boots on Sam systems. (Maybe framerate is not correct on those videos

@Rogue

When users are using Sii cards and disabling Via IDE completely make UBoot to set also ide_maxbus=0. It takes a lot of time to scan empty Via IDE bus. People have asked this quite a lot lately.

It worked out of the box here (from the old installation I mean). I played SlamTilt on EUAE (on 4.1) one night.

No. I was thinking opposite.

Do 4.1 have still the same task scheduler as 4.0 or do 4.1 have a new one ?

All you who want to syncronize two directories have you tested SyncroMe from os4depot ? Did you like it or hate it ? Did I miss some desired functionality ? (I'm the author of it.)

Btw. Should I advertise more my apps f.ex. making news items or something ?
