Video Driver Support changed?

by Dee · in Constructor · 04/11/2007 (4:07 pm) · 2 replies

Other Torque items run/launch fine.
This product fails to find a valid driver.
i.e. TGE/TGB etc. enumerate as D3D no probs. (as the gl drivers don;t work so well on my systems)

I've tried using the -directx, -opengl, -autodetect, -window, etc. switches, no go...

Is Constructor using the same driver hook set as TGE etc.?
Or has it changed?

If so, how can I set it to use the same driver detect etc. as TGE?

There's a lot of custom rendering in Constructor and the DX wrapper is designed for very specific rendering calls, so we removed DX support. You'll need an OpenGL card to use Constructor.

Darn.
Guess it limits me to use on only one of my PC's.

Thanks.

Might want to change this then:
