[Bug] Computer Restarting
by Kevin Turchik · in Torque 3D Professional · 09/06/2009 (6:07 pm) · 8 replies
I'm fairly positive that this is a hardware issue, but any time I try to run a level in Torque3D, my computer restarts the moment the loading bar is full. I have tried running several different levels, but I always get the same result.

2. Update graphics card drivers (nearly always the cuplrit)
3. In scripts/client/prefs.cs change the bit about lighting from "Advanced Lighting" to "Basic Lighting"

A 6100? That's quite old... I would still think you'd have a better framerate than that though.

I would think so too, but my computer is indeed rather old. It may be nothing more than that the parts are wearing out.

We should really start a stickied thread somewhere around here for "Getting T3D to perform on older hardware", various tips have come up around the forum.

Just what kind of hardware are you running on?
Is there anything that manages to get saved in the console.log file or does it totally miss that because it restarts?
