Torque demo

#1 Did you uninstall your demo before you installed the paid product? i had this problem too, some things dont get overwritten, and it looks like a Demo.

Compltely remove all torque installations you've got, and reinstall, i'm sure it'l be fine. Enjoy!

#2 Take some time to read before freaking out =)

Open up example\main.cs, using Torsion or notepad.

At the top you will see this:

$defaultGame = "demo";

Change this to starter.fps, or starter.racing.

This is the main link to your game folder, and this is how you are going to load other mods.

Try to keep a positive attitude, after all, you said you "recently" bought this. Learning a full blown engine takes time.

#3 Hmm it doesnt say $defaultGame = "demo"; it says $defaultGame; and when i tryed to change that to $defaultGame = "demo"; torque wouldnt load


also i uninstaled every single file to do with torque and instaled it and its the same problem,but thanks for the help...and i will try to keep calm :)

#4 That is quite weird.

Can you paste the first few lines of main.cs, including the $defaultGame line in your next post?

Also, whenever you run Torque, it creates a console.log file which you can read to check for syntax and engine errors that occur. Read that and paste anything that has to do with an error as well.

When you launch, are you using the TorqueDemo.exe or one of the .bat files (starter.fps.bat)?

#5 That is very weird. That's not something that a corrupt install would do. I have never heard of anything like this happening at all.

#6 This is the first few lines of main.cs

#7 What's the last thing printed in the console log?

Also, are you launching the application via .bat or .exe?

#8 Well, you are set to the tutorial.base in $defaultGame. Try starter.fps and see if it loads. Something in the tutorial.base directory got munged by the installer.

#9 Also, forgot to ask if your video card drivers, DirectX SDK, and system drivers are up to date?

and how do i check if my video card drivers,DirectX SDK, and system drivers are up to date?

#11 Video Card: Go to the manufacturer's website and download the latest drivers

SDK: October 2006 DirectX SDK

System Drivers: Start->Settings->Control Panel->System. Just make sure your OP system is updated with latest service packs and drivers. No biggie. Usually the first two are the most major.
