Currently a controvery going on about Glexcess being VERY easy to cheat on much more than 3dmark. Stay away from it for now.

THis cheat, I think thats only the publishing of the numbers, not the actually test. Since WE at MURC dont cheat...
Oh. I gather some of these exploits have been corrected in version 1.2

What Duke said ... the reason the author release v1.2 was to get rid of cheating:

This one fixes some bugs and prevents (as much as possible) cheating on results. I've just uploaded a patch to upgrade from v1.1a right now, I'll post stand-alone versions later. Hope you like it, here it is.

NOTICE: It's not possible to upload v1.1a generated scores anymore.

How do you get it to display the results?

For me it only grabs a bunch of pictures but gives no score?

[Maggi]

dunno ... on my system, it opens up the results.htm from GL Excess' root folder in IE, after it finished.

did you install the full v1.2 or did you upgrade an older installation with the 1.2 patch ?

Installed the full v1.2!

Benchmark runs fine over here as well (OK crashed once but that was kind of my own fault! ) I'm just having problems getting it to display the results! Only tried it on my ICS, F-Secure server thou!
