Running game while constructor running causes poly soup

by Pete Patterson · in Constructor · 04/09/2007 (12:11 pm) · 1 replies

I've been running my game and leaving Constructor running while testing things.

If I do this (this is using TGEA BTW), I get poly soup all over the screen in the game. If I exit Constructor first, then everything is fine.

I'm running in DX Windowed mode on a dual screen monitor configuration. It's not a showstopper, but it would be nice to leave Constructor running while trying things.

This is caused by your video card heating up while trying to process all those polys. Leaving it like this for too long can be very harmful to the card.

Does the problem still happen with Constructor minimized?
