Is anyone using the taskbar replacement mobydock?
http://www.mobydock.tk
I just installed the latest version which uses a directX 9 renderer and I am experiencing (is this a word?) great slowdowns when I try any wintermute game (compiled or not).

Never heard of it, I'll try it. Does WME slow down in both windowed and full screen mode?
-
In windowed version the game in unplayable. In Fullscreen mode everything is a lot better but not good enough.
In debug mode the engine says that it runs the game in 300+ frames/second so the problem should be with the graphic card.
With the previous version of mobydock (which used a DirectX 8 renderer) there was no problem...

OK, I was testing it on the WME demo game and I didn't experience any slowdowns. The framerate only drops when I move the mouse pointer over the MobyDock toolbar and it starts to animate the icons. When the toolbar is inactive, WME runs almost full-speed. Also no problems in full-screen mode (WinXP, GeForce2, Detonators 4345, DirectX 9).

So, it must be a problem with the Radeon & Catalyst Drivers.... OK, I guess I have to live with an older version of Mobydock untill Ati releases Catalyst 3.3 (if those solve my problem ofcourse).
