Hi @pickle1. My 4G signal strenght is -112dBm 28 asu so not good :(

@Sialala - same for me - I need to get to an area of high signal strength to see if it makes a difference. I have also noticed that, under the settings, "Data Roaming SIM 1" is switched off so I'm not sure if that is going to impact - so I may experiment with switching that on.

Hi @pickle1. My 4G signal strenght is -112dBm 28 asu so not good :(

Good for you!
Now let's all just get back to relaxing and having a good time!

Hi,I was wondering is someone will be able to help. I have no problems with accessing the website when I use wi-fi on my phone but when I use data, I get a message that the site can’t be reached. Do I need to change something with my browser settings? I use a Samsung Galaxy A20e. Thank you

Hi @Sialala. I get exactly the same issue on my phone - which is also A Samsung A20e. I thought it was because my 4G signal is just not man-enough for the job. What kind of signal strength do you have?

@HansSachs That is actually not true. The post that was referenced is written after the Joker cards were introduced and that still another method to obtain special event cards was being planned by the end of the year.

Some people need to learn to chill and remember that this site is supposed to be a bit of fun and fantasy

Exactly 👌

Maybe that is a hughe Mistake, and definitely some Users will ***** me for Sure after that.
But i can live with that, because this could be a massive Trigger for the one or the other.

Spoken from the heart and well done for doing so.

I'm afraid that we see a lot of examples of anger, avarice and impatience exhibited in the Forum. Some people need to learn to chill and remember that this site is supposed to be a bit of fun and fantasy.

👍

It's not offending to you or to you, but i have the Feeling to do that, even if here is the wrong place for that.
But i definitely know that i'm not alone with my thoughts, for sure.
And if i'm alone with that, then let me know if i'm wrong with that.
The following things were happening in the last couple of days.

"WTF the Card is not Downloading"
https://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/45480/1
Sure, but for the Moment i'm ignoring the other over 4000 Cards in my Collection,
because it depends all on that one Card right now ... of course.

Somebody want, that i should Kiss his Ass,
https://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/45500/2#post676577
because he was not be able to open up a Webbrowser, which is in my Opinion not a big Issue.
NO it has to work in the Fucking GUI, it has to, there is no other Way.
Guess what @JonnBGood drop your Pants down 💋

The next Situation.
https://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/45512/1
I can see two hidden Cards on an Image, but i can only win one Card.
And further, asking for a small Gesture because of an technical Issue
during the Holiday Times for most of the Teammembers at the Moment.
Because we are talking to Robots which are 24/7 here for us.

I want more Discounts and Status Privileges.
https://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/45465/1
Because i have already all Shows, i have already a Premium Account and maxed out all possibilities.
But i WANT MORE, because only when i can get more i'm satisfied.

Last but not least we have this Topic here, where i can only Read,
"I'm a loyal Customer, so Show me your Love"
Otherwise i will Destroy iStripper, because when i can't get what i want, then Nobody shall get it.
Guess what, Totem was already aware for your Loyalty.
https://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/45282/1
But obviously that is still not enough.

So far so good for my Rant, and i will not say that Totem is not without any Mistakes,
because everyone of us is making Mistakes. Like for myself now with my Post here ... maybe i will see.
Further i'm not speaking for Totem, but everyone should look on his own,
before he/she is attacking/pleasing or whatever someone else.
Otherwise we have the Situation that we are Smashing each others Heads,
but at the End we are standing again with the same Problems from the Beginning.

The User @Teliko36 made a Suggestion for Gwen Gwiz for iStripper couple Days before, and i was Visiting
her second Talk Chanel and watched some of her Videos.
And i found this here very very Mind Opening Video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXiJ9vvjsmo

Gwen has such a wonderful Soul and when you, Dear Ranter, Yeller, Complainer and *****
are not be able to Understand what Gwen is saying to You in this Video, then i have to say:

Totem is not without Mistakes for sure, but you are looking on the wrong place for Mistakes,
that is for Sure.

edit:
Be happy about what you have, not what you could get eventually.
Look on yourself, don't care about the others or their Mistakes, because at the end,
every Decision in your Life could be the last one.
Enjoy every Moment in your Life, and not possibly unreachable Situations.
When you Live the Moment, you will get what you Wish.
When you Hunting the Moment, you will pass the Beauty of Life.

Thanks for Reading.

@5marta55 Je ne suis même pas allé jusqu'à cette carte, 200 crédits c'est trop. A moins d'un changement d'attitude de Totem (toujours absent) je ne chercherai plus à obtenir une carte soi-diant spéciale.

@5marta55 I didn't even go as far as this card, 200 credits is too much. Unless Totem's attitude changes (still absent) I will no longer seek a special supposedly card.

I do think this will be my last SEC under the current system. It's getting ridiculous. I don't even know what special event happened for this card to exist. Of course, since I have all the cards I can possibly get, my expenditure of 300 credits for a single card seems a bit extreme.

Yea, I can see how it can be relevant to the OP :)

As long as the user makes a informed decision and doesn't play the game 'to win' like many people seem to do, but for fun (no expectation - no disappointment) I can see some of the gambling appeal. I usually allow myself a spin or two, but I scratch off these credits as *****, not expecting any return.

@781jingles
Try the tips in this thread https://www.istripper.com/fr/forum/thread/42188/1?post=621606

Je constate que "Membre Platinium", a une autre discussion "Special Cards" qui débat des mêmes sujets que nous. Et pas plus dans cet autre sujet que dans le nôtre aucun membre de Totem ne "daigne" à venir nous apporter une explication sur la position de l'équipe ni les éventuelles modifications qui pourraient être apportées à ce problème, solution qui ne devrait pas être une promesse de plus non tenue.

I notice that "Platinium Member", has another "Special Cards" discussion which discusses the same subjects as us. And no more in this other subject than in ours, any member of Totem does not "deign" to come to bring us an explanation on the position of the team nor the possible modifications which could be brought to this problem, solution which should not be one more broken promise.

Effectivement, la solution consiste à ne plus chercher à acquérir les cartes spéciales mais comme le précise @arise77 il faudrait qu'une grande majorité de membres suivent ce boycott et cela ne sera probablement pas le cas. Une fois de plus Totem montre le plus grand mépris vis à vis des désirs des membres. C'est vraiment consternant.👎👎👎.

Indeed, the solution is to no longer seek to acquire the special cards but as @arise77 specifies it would be necessary that a large majority of members follow this boycott and this will probably not be the case. Once again Totem shows the utmost contempt for the wishes of the members. It is truly appalling.

To add to what JayZ said - the odds seem to be very random, with some people experiencing lower than 1% (i.e hundreds of credits spent/*****), indeed, especially for people with small to medium collections.

@Alkasyn

👍

I'm also going to link your post that is also relevant here.........

https://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/45512/1?post=676840

I did a few searches but could not find anything.

Are the scratch game odds posted anywhere in the app?
I wouldn't mind buying a few to try and get an event card I missed, but if it is .1% or something stupid I won't bother.

Thanks

That should not have a problem at all running this scene (as fas as gpu power is concerned). Will use little bit more than mine (5700xt gold) which is using ~5% more than on the desktop.

I was getting some decode overflow messages in the older versions, i reported it some time ago.

I have no idea how to fix this. I use GIMP to edit my backgrounds, but it doesn't happen with all of my scenes. I'm wondering if it has to do with the source photos that I acquire from the Internet? Anyone know about this?

I am not sure but I think that the problem is, as you surmise, due to the source photos. I am sure that there will be some way to fix it up using GIMP, this might be an option when you export to .png or .jpeg - or failing that create a new blank image and paste the old one into it. But other than cluttering up the log I don't think that there are any ill effects.

As far as the stream of frame overflow messages are concerned I can't remember if these used to occur before the recent change to using QT5. As long as the the overflows are not too large there is not much of a problem, things jut run slightly slowly. However, I have had experiences at work where if a simulation overran its allotted time step it would log a message which was normally no big problem - but in some pathalogical cases the act of logging a message was just enough to mean that the next time step would also overflow and this could continue for a considerable time (this was really a bug in the simulator infrastructure, but it took quite some time to persuade he implementors that this was the case). I wonder if the same may be true here - though I think there would be even more frame overflow errors if it was.

@grabandt err... grafikkarten

Ahh, in that case you need a lower resolution version... brb

The msharp shader shouldn't be that taxing, it uses about 5% of my gpu, and when shaders overtax the gpu you just get slow framerate. So if it's not working at all it's something else. What gpu are you using?

Slow framerate is exactly what I'm getting. Slow enough to be unusable. The GPU is NVIDIA Quadro NVS 295. It's pretty old, to understate a bit.

@Grabandt

I don't know what the "Unknown palette role" warning is about, but as they occur when the program is started(as indicated by the preceding New Session message) I would guess that they are is due to an error a skin description. At most these may result in something not be coloured quite how it was intended.

The "Known incorrect sRFB profiles" warnings occur when the program (in particular part of the QT toolkit it is built on) encounters a jpeg or png image that it thinks has something wrong with it - however it manages to overcome the problem so it is not a problem.

I have no idea about the meaning of the "No I&D device found warning".

The bunch of messages tagged with "Scene::dumpOpenGL" seem simply to be informational messages regarding the GPU. The only thing odd is that they are flagged as warnings rather than simple informational messages. They certainly do not represent anything that needs to be warned about.

The "Unknown node property" messages relate to genuine errors in the .scn file. In this case it looks like a type: and three ambient: clauses have been used in places where they are not valid. Some errors like this occur due to using features that were valid in a very old version of the software and the scenes have not been updated to get rid of the old features. But I don't think that is the case here, it looks more like a simple attempt to set a property for a node that does not support that property. I am pretty certain that the software just logs the message and then simply ignores the attempt to set the property. This is probably done in the QT toolkit rather than in Totem's own software, though Totem's software may well be ignoring an error indicator returned by that toolkit (but there is not much they could do anyway other than perhaps give a more visible indicator that a problem had been encountered).

The "Decode overflow" errors mean that it is taking slightly too long to fully render the scene - i.e. your system is not quite powerful enough to render the scene at the nominal frame rate. This can be improved by simplifying the scene or reducing the size of the animated items in it - i.e. giving your system less work to do.

Now I do have an idea how to fix this, thanks to DuckDuckGo and Stack Overflow. Posting it here for me to find later and for other to maybe find useful:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22745076/libpng-warning-iccp-known-incorrect-srgb-profile

That 6-clip (with 3 shadows) scene I built today came up randomly and my memory usage shot up to 1GB! haha Then, after it switched to another scene that I made that only has one clip, it dropped to 170MB. So, yeah. More clips = more resource usage. Makes sense. 😊

But in that 6-clip scene, I see an error that I have seen in some of my other scenes:

libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile

I have no idea how to fix this. I use GIMP to edit my backgrounds, but it doesn't happen with all of my scenes. I'm wondering if it has to do with the source photos that I acquire from the Internet? Anyone know about this?

Huh. I'll be damned. I had no idea you could do that.

No problem, glad to help out 😎

This is off topic, but I'll Answer it...
You can Update you cards to a higher resolution, all at once, or in small Batches.
I recommend, doing them in Small Batches. 10 or 20 at a time.

Start with your collection disabled.
after you select them. Enable them, so you know which have already been updated.

Then use the Resolution drop down to select the new Resolution.

I've prepared this demo on my laptop.
I didn't click YES because I don't want to update my Resolution on my Lap top..

But I think you can follow along and get the Idea,

To Use CTRL-A to Select ALL
click in the Blank space between the cards first, then tap CTRL-A

@sh42n81
Thankyou 😉, that scene had so many layer / order lessons in it, was invaluable lessons at the time when I made it, ***** my brain hahaha. Yeah just cut out the ones you dont want. It was early scene making days for me but should've made a couple of different variants ( 1, 2, 3 girls) ...but, eh

Thanks.

@TokyoHome

The scratch game odds are not posted anywhere in the forum. The odds of you getting a "Special Event Card" are usually very low. But you can build up your collection with other random cards you can win.

@Carstrip

That "Lush Motel" scene I made struggles to play big time. Looks amazing but too much!

Not for me! I removed one of the clips so now it's just the pole and the bed, and it plays great! 😀😀😀😀
(Lush is one of my favorite scenes.)

@Grabandt !!!! bahahahaha the nose knows all, buried inside one is another story 😂

@sh42n81 & @Wyldanimal
Wonder if its something to do with the recent iSripper upgrade? I dont mind having errors that much if the scene still plays, but its interesting. It wont be @TheEmu scene issues, something has changed somewhere that disagrees with that style of scene.

(Cabin Fever (3 + TV on) is running right now. Going to check CPU usage and the log....so it's using about 8% of my CPU and 300MB of memory. Those decode errors are constant and looks like it just happens on every scene.

So, @TheEmu 's Prison Ship "Celebration" scene just came on, and I'm still seeing all those decode errors. If that's happening with his scenes, there's nothing I'm going to be able to do to my own scenes to avoid it.

The Celebration scene features 12 clips, but I cut it down to 6. It also has an animated star field moving past the window. My CPU is at 19% and memory use is up to 900MB. But the scene is playing fine, and I'm still able to navigate in other apps and type this post with no issues. The only time the scene bogs down at all is a brief hitch when one clip ends and another begins, but that happens literally with every scene. With six clips, it happens a little more often than average, of course.

@Wyldanimal will know the answer to that one. When I decided to upgrade to 3K I filtered the resolution in my collection and clicked on each show, but back then I only had 400 shows. You have over 4500 shows!, there will be an easy trick he will know how to do it 😉

@sh42n81
Yeah thats why I said I wont make scenes with more than 4 max from now on, especially if there are scenes with 6 or more and shaders and buffers and shadows and relections blah blah blah. A lot of people only want one show on the screen, and sometimes so do I, thats why I made a few like that, they work beautifully, That "Lush Motel" scene I made struggles to play big time. Looks amazing but too much! Besides, how many pairs of boobs can you really watch at the same time!! hahahaha Mind blown hahahaha
@Gbrandt
I tend to take out scenes when I'm not using them (or having a break from them) but dont worry, there are plenty scenes coming from everyone so you'll have plenty to add to your collection! Its all a great insight into how quickly programming improves, shame that our computers wont upgrade themselves at the same rate hahaha. 12 Core!!! too funny, wont be long 😂

I did a few searches but could not find anything.

@Carstrip

I'm now making scenes with no more than 4 shows in them (3 is best) to stop this happening, especially those with lower powered systems, they wouldnt even play 😕

tbh, Although I like a lot of your scenes, I have been known to go through and cut the number of models in half. Not only is 6 models too much for my computer, it's too much for my brain. 3 or fewer is good to me. That said, I just finished a scene that I spent all day building, which absolutely needs 6 clips to make sense. 😀

(Cabin Fever (3 + TV on) is running right now. Going to check CPU usage and the log....so it's using about 8% of my CPU and 300MB of memory. Those decode errors are constant and looks like it just happens on every scene. I'm using an HP Z400 workstation from 2009 with 2 Xeon CPUs, 9GB of RAM, and a NVIDIA Quadro NVS295 graphics card on Windows 10.)

For me, the best gauge of a scene's performance is: does it run without bogging down, and can I perform other tasks while it does? If it works on this PC and the even older Dell in my living room, especially on Linux/Wine, it should be fine on most any rig.

I do also have performance trouble with some of @TheEmu's scenes that makes them unplayable. He builds very complex scenes which are too much for a PC that even struggles with the "fire" and "water" scenes that come packaged with iStripper. I think certain shaders must create a higher CPU load than others.

Also, it's not just the number of clips: if you have 6 clips in a scene, and all of them have a shadow (or 2), and a reflection, then you're really asking the GPU to render as many as 24 clips simultaneously!

Yeah frame buffers, labour intensive on the CPU. I try to avoid them.
They had a massive impact on my system when I upgraded all my cards to 3k about 3 months ago.

@MiwdI just checked the error log when I ran your scene and it has lots of errors. Not sure if you want to check this and see if it can be rectified 😉

@Carstrip Are you sure those errors are coming from the scene and not from the clips? After you mentioned errors in my scenes, I checked my logs and found tons of those decode overflows going all the way back to 2014. I didn't start making my own scenes before this month, rarely used Full Screen, and even when I did, it was one of the scenes that come bundled with the app. I never applied a user-made scene before July of this year. That's what makes me think that something else might be causing those errors.

EDIT: Just saw @WyldAnimal 's reply. The only way that would be caused by a scene, then, is if it's trying to make the machine do too much.

Decode Overflow errors are Because the Frame couldn't be Decode fast enough to be displayed on the screen
This is usually because of Memory or CPU issues.
not enough available Memory or the CPU doesn't have enough free threads or Cycles.
Lost or Dropped frames...

If your error log has a lot of these, then I suspect your CPU is also MAXED out.

The CPU has to read the clips from the hard drive, Decode the clip frame by frame using the previous frame to decode the next one, and store that into Memory one frame at a time, so the GPU can display it.

Possibly too many 3K or 4K cards
These are extremely CPU and Memory intensive.

on the GPU
I saw a Max Texture of 32768 in the list.
I think this is frame buffers
Perhaps the Camera resolution of the Frame buffers, have reach MAX size.
