Hello I'm using C++ and Dark GDK in college and a couple of us installed everything just like the rest of the class but when using dbCircle nothing shows up. dbLine and dbText shows but not dbCircle and dbEllipse. I thought that the lines might be the same as the background but I changed it and it still doesn't appear. The lines and text appear just fine.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Nate

This seems to be a bug affecting several people. I just wrote the bug report yesterday:

http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=158209&b=15

It seems that on some computers, it behaves even worse than on mine, because I at least see the circles for a glimpse before they disappear, but other people don't see anything.

If you wish, you can add your experience to the bug report, giving the specs of the computers on which it does and on which it doesn't work. It's always good to give more data to the developers.

EDIT: Please have a look here for a workaround:

The 7.4 beta fixed the dbDot and dbCircle issues for me.

This might be a dumb question but the 7.4 beta version of Visual Express or DarkGDK?

Hmmm so was there any answer as to why this happens to some of us but not all? I updated to 7.4 and pasted all of the update files in my folder and ran again and I still don't see my circles.
