RE: ExoticaX...

E_Report.txt is first opened when report_mode() is set, or
exotica_init() is called. I'm not exactly sure. But no data is actually
written to the file until exotica_exit() is called. So if the program
crashes, no E_Report.txt data will be recorded.
If you are successfully exiting the program , and it's not generating
data, maybe the report_mode() settings have been changed from
distribution? it should be report_mode("E_Report",1). Either way, it
should report data to the file, if the program terminated successfully.
Also try deleting E_Report.txt before running the demo. Maybe the file
was generated from a different demo.
About the FPS problem. I tested the donuts.exw demo that that comes with
exotica1_6.dll and it runs the same. Stuck at 58.
I also tried with other version, both exotica, and exoticaX, and the
effect is the same. This means it has something to do with exotica.dll
or with DX itself. So I can't help you with it. You can over come it
though, by using the FPS routines, and frame skipping techniques to
stabilize the frame rate.
