• 8k Windows Bliss by BluFlame [web]
• Installed Win 8.1 64bit pro on VMware workstation 10, fully updated, took the d3dcompiler_47.dll from it, copy to demo folder on host Win 7 64bit ultimate, still same error...
  
  My d3dcompiler_47.dll is version 6.3.9600.16384, 4,159,488 bytes long and crc32 of 859d0116 / MD5 of 4cdbd39cd8efbc9d18a83aa1bf95ec11.
  
  Then I thought, maybe there are 2 versions of that file... Went back to Win 8.1., installed "search everything" tool and found a 32 and a 64 bit version of d3dcompiler_47.dll (Windows 8.1 search tool suck hard).
  
  The 32 bit version of d3dcompiler_47.dll is also version 6.3.9600.16384, but 3,452,928 bytes long and crc32 of d2cd1205 / MD5 of d3ac5bef6669460087c00dd44740d53f.
  
  Tested again with the 32 bit version, and no "Error d3dcompiler_47" this time!!! *BUT*, I was asked for *17* different "api-ms-win-core- blah blah blah .dll"!!! Copy one, run the demo, and it ask for a another, copy that one, ask for another, so on and so forth 17 times! I copied all those dll one by one until the 17Th dll was copied and... "Error d3dcompiler_47" AGAIN!
  
  A that point, I just yelled out loud "FUUUUUCK!!!!" The last time I had that kind of torment to run a demo was 25 years ago when I had to play with EMS memory manager, config.sys, jumpers, dip switch and IRQs FFS! The worse that usually happen nowadays is for 4K and 64K demo that need to be re-compressed with crinkler 1.4 to run properly or demo too old than must be run in VMware or Dosbox.
  
  Could it be the fact that I'm running 3 X LCD @ 1680X1050? I'm not using the span display with surround option. 99.9% of all demos on Pouet run great on my rig with a 2500K and 16GB of RAM BTW.
  
  NOTE: I guess the critical information that d3dcompiler_47.dll (and apparently a bunch of other dll) are required on anything below 8.1 should/could have been in the nfo. How the hell anyone is supposed to know that sort of thing, especially when only 5% run 8.1 and over 65% still run 7? Or am I missing something? I mean, you knew it wouldn't run on anything but win-8.1 + deliberately choose not to include the file(s), but you told no one until I reported the issue here? I guess you simply forgot, it happens to the best of us.
  
  Any recommendations? Fuck it and wait for a youtube link I guess? :) LOL...

• Win 8.1 and up only? Seriously? "Runs on Windows 8.1 and later" in the nfo!
  
  "Error d3dcompiler_47" on my Win 7 + 660 GTX with driver 337.50.

• demo Amiga OCS/ECS Vertigo by Y-Crew [web]
• Good production, I laughed at the baked elephant eating "grass".

• demo JavaScript Oldschool Never Die by Hemoroids [web]
• Love the 80s colorful palette, the cool funky music and old school feel. Both the intro and credit music track are surprisingly good too!
  
  Contrary to some more purist than me, I love old school theme on overdrive on modern hardware like this prod. For me, it's a legitimate way to honor the past style and technique. A refreshing new spin on old stuff.
  
  Sad there is no off-line version. I would keep this. When the host goes out, this prod will be lost forever.

• 1k Windows what the frac by Alter!Krass!
• Works only in VMWare Win7 32... and even then, slow down to a crawl and stutters badly to the point it's not watchable at all:
  
  Win7 64
  2500K @ 4.7Ghz
  16GB RAM
  660 GTX @ 1.3Ghz, driver 337.50
  
  Probably the most broken, but still working release I've ever seen. It's a shame considering it's from 2012. I can perfectly run 3DFX games created some 15 years ago, old Windows XP games, but not a demo made merely 2 years ago.

• 1k Windows Sinuous by Loonies [web] & TBC
• I sincerely thinks it beat the current top 1k, tracie and untraceable. Very impressive for 1KB of code.

• 64k Windows the timeless by Mercury [web]
• CRASH! :(
  
  Precalc for a relatively long time and then crash. Second start, the precalc was nearly instantaneous and crash. Turned off riva tuner statistic server and closed Fraps, still crash. Reboot, crash. Aero is off. Every other imaginable demos from POUET run just fine on this rig:
  
  Windows 7 64
  Intel 2500K
  GTX 660 driver 337.50 beta
  16GB RAM
  3 X 1680X1050 monitors

• 4k Windows Great-Scott by St. Vincent And The Grenadines [web]
• -Seems to be locked at 20fps! Doesn't impact the presentation too much anyway
  -No 16:10 resolution. Please, 1440X900 or 1680X1050 next time.
  -On the short side at only 2 minutes.
  -I like the music track.
  -Limited production value with basically a few variation of the same effect.
  
  Short, simple little demo with a good sound track. Ok but nothing revolutionary.

• 4k Windows State: Moss by Desire [web]
• - ~10-20Fps, average 12, on my GTX 660 @ 1.3Ghz and 2500K @ 4.7GHz... :(
  - Only one resolution, no 16:10. Please 1440X900 or 1680X1050 next time.
  - Sleek and polished, but repetitive visual
  - Average music, a bit slow and boring
  - Average direction
  - Nothing bad, but nothing outstanding or memorable either.
  
  The very slow FPS didn't help, that's for sure. I guess that when you are spoiled with 4Ks such as Elevated and cdak, it's gona be hard to be floored by good, but not exceptionally great 4Ks.
