My game crashes on Vista

by Amjad Yahya · in Torque Game Builder · 11/10/2011 (11:05 am) · 4 replies

I have submitted my game to game portals, here is what QA responded.

WINDOWS VISTA: Game crashes when taken out of focus in full screen mode. This includes using the Alt-Tab function or Windows lock. When the game runs in windowed mode the crash does not occur. Note that the game hard-crashed once on launch and required a full-system restart.

I searched the forum and found some posts regarding the above, but most of them were old and required a recompile. Is there any solution without the need of a recompile?

I'm using TGB 1.7.4.

I appreciate any help because my game will not pass QA unless I fix this problem.

As far as I know, the changes do require a recompile.

I'm not that experienced to perform a recompile, I read the instructions on TDN, it seems very complex to me and it involves lots of downloads and steps, not to mention that the post itself is outdated.

Is there a work around this, for example, can any one provide me with the exe file recompiled and ready.

Thanks.

You could try porting your game to 1.7.5 since that's basically what the steps accomplish.
