Slow performance on certain systems

[slotdev]

Hi

I've sent my game to a colleague who runs a very fast PC, Win 7 Ultimate x64 and has an AMD Radeon HD 6570. The game runs painfully slowly - like 15 seconds to start vs 2 seconds on my Intel Core i3 (NVidia CUDA gfx).

Has anyone experienced something like this?

Thanks
Ed

This is a stupid question, but I have to ask: is your app compiled in release mode?

Is it something specific that slows it down, or creating a SFML window is enough?

Hi Laurent

Yeah it's a release build. I'll try to isolate it more, but it's odd that it works on a large number of systems...but not this (much higher spec) type.

Is it just a delay at startup, or is the game really running slow?

Both - but problem solved - it was Norton Anti-Virus, for some unknown reason it thinks the game exe is suspicious and wants to quarantine it....

Thanks for your time, anyway

Is the executable called game.exe? I've seen people having similar antivirus issues with this filename.
