Low frame rate

by Gabriel Bianco · in Torque Game Engine · 02/09/2005 (3:57 pm) · 3 replies

I installed TGE 1.3 and ran the demo.exe that comes with it and got 100+ fps... but the .exe I build (stock tge, no changes made at all) gets about 15-20 fps... Huge drop... The file sizes are also very different: 930kB to 4.3MB...

I suppose it's something simple like a "#define TORQUE_DEBUG" somewhere... But that doesn't seem to be defined anywhere... So, can anyone tell how to get that frame rate back?? :P

By default Visual C++ compiles the debug version of the executable,
which will be slower and much larger.

in V6C, go to Build | Set Active Configuration
and choose the release build.

Oh, man... I feel stupid now :P... Thanks for the help, Orion :-)

Does such a setting exist when using TBE, or is it always one or the other?
