3.72MB is the size of the exe when I compile it as well.

What does the console.log file say?

Hi Roshan,

I'm not sure about that error, but I just tried what you tried, downloading the demo and replacing the exe with mine, and it crashed on me too.

My console.log file shows that the demo/main.cs.dso file is an old version (version 33 < 36), and isn't being loaded by TSE. Since the raw .cs files aren't included with the demo, it can't recompile it.

The same demo comes with the TSE source download, try putting your exe in the 'example' folder, and run it from there. It has the raw .cs files so it will compile them when you launch the exe.

If that doesn't work, I'm not sure, somebody else may have to help. What video card do you have? And do you have the latest drivers?

Okay.

I think the demos were made pre-MS3, and the .dso files aren't forward compatible, so they're not going to work with an MS3 executable. I could be wrong about that, but that's what it seems like to me.

Are you saying MS3 crashes when compiling a new binary?
Or are you mixing binaries from MS3 and .dso's from earlier revisions? I'm not following.

I believe he's trying to take an EXE that he successfully compiled from sources, and replace the exe in the downloadable TSE demo with the one he compiled. I'm not sure what version the demo was built with, but it was mostly likely a version prior to MS3.

Oh, the downloadable demo..

The demo is MS2 I believe, when Atlas was released. There's a bunch of material defination changes between those revisions, as well as the TGE 1.4 merge - so I'm not suprised that it won't work.

On the other hand, why download the demo when you can use the demo from the SDK?

Yea it's allmost the same. The demo in the sdk with the downloadable one. I even recommend using the starter.fps port for TSE.
