(Resolved) I'm having a rough first day with TGB (2D)

by K B · in Torque Game Builder · 03/13/2010 (1:29 am) · 2 replies

I decided to purchase TGB and immediately upon installing and launching the program, buttons don't seem to be working quite right. Expanding a list expands the list above where I click, but not the list itself, leading me to believe that something is amiss. Furthering my suspicions, only the bottom 20% or so of the top row of buttons is visible.

This persists after I close and restart the program as well as between windowed and full screen mode. Obviously something is not right and I would love to get started so if anyone can offer some trouble shooting advice, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm using TorqueGameBuilder_174.exe on Win 7 Ultimate (64 bit) at a screen resolution of 1920x1200.

Run the application with older compatibility settings. Give that a whirl.

I received this email from support and my issue is now resolved. Thank you for the help!

"The problem you are seeing is common in OpenGL apps on some Vista-W7 drivers. If you disable Aero you should be fine.

Right-click TGB and select properties. Under the compatibility tab, disable desktop composition and effects."
