TGB 1.7.4 - Nothing is being saved and random crashes

by Vikram Jhaveri · in Torque Game Builder · 09/16/2009 (2:38 am) · 4 replies

Tried this on my laptop and desktop. Went from Windows 7 to XP to Vista. Still not working.

TGB Does not save anything. Sometimes it will save half the data if i am lucky.

Also random crashes when trying to save data.

On exit it will ask to save data, and then just crash, nothing will be saved.

Before exiting i do save, save as, run, save, save as. Still it does not save.

Kindly Help.

PS. It was working in the unregistered version before i brought it. However not nothing. On TGB, TGB Pro

If you're running TGB Pro, try using a Debug build (you have to build it yourself) and seeing what is causing the crash.

I think it was a problem with checking persist. Will confirm soon.

That did it for me. Now working in Windows 7 Pro 32 Bit (64 Bit was a nightmare). Crashes maybe 1 in 10 times. But that i can live with.

Hi,
yes, I confirm that "checking persist" problem exists on my machine also (Vista Business 64bit SP2, Intel Core 2 DUO P8600 2.4Ghz, 4GB ram).

Follow this steps to reproduce the bug:

- create a new empty project
- create new imageMap
- create a new staticsprite
- select the statisprite and, in the "Edit"->"Scripting" tab, give it a name and check "persist"
- save scene
- exit TGB
- open TGB
- load the previously saved scene
- exit TGB -> [CRASH]

I didn't had time yet to check it with the debug, but if I'll find something I'll post here.
