It's back!!! Hoorah!! Just need MacOS too... Pleeeasse.

I love this screensaver!! I've had the original for years and having a new version now is awesome!

In my office, I have a multiple monitor setup with Windows and Mac platforms due to my obligations with two different organizations. So now half my monitors go into System47, I just really want the other ones to match. That would be totally epic!!!

Comment:

Apologies... the development of a mac version is on hold at the moment. My old mac died oh well Need to get a new one first, then some R&D to make sure that it's possible to port it to mac with M1 chip.

Hmmm.... a not-so-ideal alternative is to run the 1-hour System47 YouTube clip in fullscreen mode indifferent

Stuck!

Hi, just wanted to ask if any one had an issue with getting out of the screen saver. I have 5 monitors and it works amazing on all of them. But, when I want to go back to working with my computer it wont. All the screen go black, and there is no way to restart the screen saver or go back to my desktop. So, I have to reboot the whole computer. Any idea why is doing this?

Comment:

5 monitors!! Wow....
Sorry to hear the trouble you encountered. Currently I only have the capability of testing it with 2 monitors. I am not able to reproduce the error. I will look into the code for possible bugs.
In case you encounter similar problems in the future, you could try pressing "Control-Shift-Escape" to bring up the Task Manager that you can terminate/kill non-responding apps/processors. Please ignore it if you know about this already indifferent

MacOS Development

Happy to see this is still alive, at least on Windows!
As a diehard Mac guy, I was crushed when I upgraded past 10.13, as it System47 doesn't run as a 64 bit native app (as I'm sure we all know smile )

Happy to help with development on macOS - I'm currently on Apple Silicon (M1 Pro) so I can help there as well.

Somehow this screensaver looks totally period correct on my vintage iMac G3 though!

:-) So glad to hear that you enjoy System47.
Unfortunately the development of a mac version is on hold at the moment. My old mac died oh well Need to get a new one first, then some R&D to make sure that it's possible to port it to mac with M1 chip. Thanks for the offering! Just sent you an email

3 Monitors?

Love this! Though, I got it to work on two monitors flawlessly, but I have 3 monitors and it doesn't want to show on the third. No options to "force" it to do so. Ideas?

Comment:

Thanks for the feedback! Hmmm... although I don't have 3 monitors to run the test, theoretically it should work on any number of monitors. One question, did you hot-plug in the 3rd monitor after you've booted into Windows? On a 2-monitor setup, I noticed that if Windows was booted up with only one monitor, and later a second monitor was activated, Windows somehow was not seeing the second monitor as the true secondary monitor. The problem went away if I started up Windows with two monitors.
I'll see if I could find a 3-monitor setup to run tests on.

Thank You!!!

Thank You so much for fixing this! After they killed flash I was very sad and thought it was never coming back. This has been my favorite screen saver for so many years and I have missed it!!!

Thank You!!!

meWho, March 3, 2022: Unfortunately, a few antivirus (AV) programs have raised a "false positive" malware flag when loading up this screensaver. According to the VirusTotal scan report, System47 has successfully passed scan tests on the majority of AV scanners, but a few have detected activities labeled as suspicious. An AV can give out a "false positive" detection even when a non-malicious program's "behavior" is similar to a previously known malicious code to some degree. As a standard practice, I've submitted False-Positive reports to AV companies requesting for white-listing. Hopefully those "false positive" flags will be removed in the near future. In the mean time, please keep your AV program's virus definition file up-to-date. Please note: if you do choose to quarantine the screensaver file, you won't be able to run it on your machine. Please rest assured that there's no malicious code in System47. Sorry for the inconvenience if you've encountered this issue.

Okay.

Multi-monitor support

First and foremost, thank you for this, like many others, I have been using this for many years!

Multi-monitor support would be great, whenever you have the time of course.

Comment:

Just released the new version of the screen saver. And yup, multi-monitor is supported -- well, at least it works on my test machine. Hopefully, it will work on your setup as well. Cheers~ smile
