Torque X 2D crashing issues
by Mike G. · in Technical Issues · 10/28/2009 (10:48 am) · 1 replies
I have a post documenting my questions here:
http://www.garagegames.com/community/forums/viewthread/104691
Summed up:
The "Your first Torque X Game" tutorial leads to major lag issues with the built game (running from both torque and from visual studio's debugging command). It was working fine at first, but then i moved my cursor (NOT CLICKED) outside of the game box, and it started to lag. This led to a freeze up with unresponsive controls, but the rest of the computer worked fine. Minimizing the game leads it to turn into a purple screen when brought back up. I have having the same issue with the Tankbuster demo splash screen (it lags and purple screen when minimized). If I press space, though, it skips the splash and goes into the game. The game seems to run fine (though the bombs drop at light speed). If I minimize, though, i get the same purple screen problem.
Any solutions to this? I can't justify a $150 purchase per developer (or $1) until I know this will work well on both the PC and XBOX on any potential customer's computer and our own. I was really looking forward to using it for our project.
It might be useful to note that the XNA's platformer starter kit does not have these issues Torque is having. (Not the same platformer starter kit as GG's)
I'm using:
-Torque X 2D Trial version
-Windows XP SP3
-2.6ghz AMD dual core processor
-2 GB ram
-9600 GT
-5 GB free hard drive space
-Visual studio 2008 express
-xna 3.0 and xna 3.1
