DirectInput slow!

Well...some code would be nice. How are you checking your input? Buffer? Polling? You need to give us (the help) a better idea other than saying. "Man DX is soooos slow. Help!". There could be a lot of factors in having "slow" code. My bet is you wrote bad code and I would be really surprised if DX Input was the culprit. Anywho...when you get some code up I''d be more than happy to take a look.

My DX Input is plenty fast. I expect your problem is elsewhere, unless you''re doing something really wrong with DirectInput.

Yeah, direct input is great, lets see your initialization code, il betcha thats where the problem is... either that or... are you sure your having the character move at reasonable intervals?

init. code:
----------------

HRESULT hrInitDirectInput(void)
{
HRESULT hReturn = 0;

if( !pDI ) {
// Create a DInput object
if( FAILED( hReturn = DirectInput8Create( g_hInstance, DIRECTINPUT_VERSION,
IID_IDirectInput8, (VOID**)&pDI, NULL ) ) )
return(INPUTERROR_NODI);
}

g_Layout = GetKeyboardLayout(0);

return(hReturn);
}


well, i doubt that''s where the problem is. What i''m seeing is that when i ran it in windowed mode, it ran fine, but fullscreen, it sucks like this.
