Run Game --> Black Screen??

by George Fairs · in Torque Game Builder · 11/15/2009 (8:00 am) · 11 replies

Hey everyone,

I recently downloaded Torque Game Builder again, after getting Windows 7 - 64bit, but I have made a simple test scene to try it out. However; whenever I run the scene it's just a black screen?? I have even built the project and tried the .exe, same thing occurs.

Any ideas to what's going on?

Thanks!

Anyone? Please, this is a serious issue, I just don't know how to fix it. Have I missed the most obvious thing?

Check the console for any errors. You can either open it up in the game (press ~) or look at the console.log file after it has closed.

Do you have any objects on the scene at all?
Is your camera on the correct position?
Are you running the correct scene?
Do you hear any sounds from your game?
Do you see your mouse cursor? (default windows or TGB default cursor?)
Is game running at all? (what output do you have in the console?)
Have you tried to open fresh new project?

That is the problem, TGB isn't very good on Windows 7 at the moment. I suggest running it in XP mode.

Thanks, I'll try that.

I see the cursor. I'll check the output. Yes, tried mutltiple new projects.

The problem is though, the torque adventure kit works fine. Just blank projects that aren't functioning.

Right, it says :"error loading level untitled.t2d. Invalid file".

???

Sounds like the file is corrupt. Try reinstalling and reloading the project.

"Error loading level untitiledt.t2d Invalid file" is an error TGB will throw if you create a new project and then run it without saving your scene. There may be other causes for this error but try saving your level first and then running it.

Yea, but when you go to file->save TGB does nothing. its just a bug they havent fixed. You have to re-open that file with file->open and then you will be prompted to save the file, and ONLY THEN saving will work.
