Many Many thanks for your prompt reply.
To give more details about my configuration:
- Intel Core i7-3770 CPU@3.40 GHz
- RAM 16,0Go
- Graphic card Intel HD Graphics 4000
Here you go with the cfg file (I was not allowed to upload cfg so I changed extension)userPrefs.py (9.8 KB) .
However, I made sure to have runner, coder and builder activated when running the experiment. I tried to (i) run it from builder and alos (ii) compile+run from coder. Both options didn’t work. The demos from builder didn’t work either, but some demos that I tried from coder were actually working.
I realized that the task was actually freezing on the initial gray screen and after around 10 mins it closed with WARINGs about frame rate. I debugged the compiled script and realized that the call win = visual.window(…) was actually causing the problem. I found this thread very useful (Sudden extreme slowing (freezing) in Windows64 (standalone install)): by manually setting the FBO option to false the experiment correctly run.
What I find extremely bizarre is that this problem happended in 4 of the 8 machines of my lab. These are all clones (hardware and softwares) and using the same screens.
I hope this could help somehow… I am still wandering what could be the cause of this variability…
Cheers,
Paolo
