Water in TGEA demo crashes it

Does anybody know if the TGEA demo has been specifically crippled to only allow use of what's displayed in the Interactive Walkthrough?
I've been trying to play around with the demo, to decide if it's what i really want, but i cant even add a block of water. As soon as i click the "ok" button on the water block properties, i see the faint outline of the water, then the whole thing crashes.
The Console.log is filled with errors, which doens't really surprise me. it's only a Demo afterall. but what are we supposed to be able to do with it? i dont want to buy the TGEA without testing atlas first, but i cant seem to get that working either.

Basically I want to know how atlas is used and exactly how its going to work with the scripts I wrote tonight for the torque demo. The fact that water (and bump maps??) don't seem to work either is also odd.

Ive been testing the TGEA demo all night and I have to say I'm not impressed with the demo. I'm impressed by TGEA.. I just didn't expect one of its best feature's to be completely excluded from the demo.Basically I want to know how atlas is used and exactly how its going to work with the scripts I wrote tonight for the torque demo.

@stephan, where would i find that Terrain_water_demo? i see that in the TGEA demo's main.cs, there's a commented line where i can activate it, but i didnt' get that directory with my demo distribution.

Yeah, i cant justify buying it based on what i've seen so far.@stephan, where would i find that Terrain_water_demo? i see that in the TGEA demo's main.cs, there's a commented line where i can activate it, but i didnt' get that directory with my demo distribution.

It's hard enough to find information on these forums without posts being spread out all over the place.
RE the TGEA Demo, I'm experiencing a lot of crashes with the editor too.
I found it odd that the two features I hear so much about (Atlas and new water rendering) are not present in the demo. I was also a little disappointed to see that the new demo is exactly the same as the original demo that came out years ago when TGEA was first announced.

Not to sound like a mean forum Nazi - this post & posts like it should be going in the TGEA public forum section.Torque Game Engine Advanced (formerly TSE) Public Forums

You have to enable them, if you go into your profile there's a thing to choose which forums you want to see. There's a BUNCH i didn't know existed until Tim posted that.

That is awesome. Honestly there is a load of default forums I don't want to see. The only problem I see is that loads of people post TGEA stuff in these TGE forums. This is the reason.Anyways thanks for informing me.
