Simple Question : TGEA & Vista ?
by Fandaor Nachtwolf · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 07/02/2007 (5:18 am) · 8 replies
Hello all,
My question will be about knowing if TGEA can support to be installed on a Vista 32Bits, and, if 'yes', what are the must do in order to make it at ease on this OS ?
I presume that I will have to install Dx 9c, but what else ?
Thank you to be as much detailed as possible ^^
Will there be a future release of TGEA that will support Dx 10 (not trying to push here, as I know there must be lots of changes to support the new Dx) and what is the ETA of this release ?
Best regards,
Fandaor

I would like to install all my dev on a Asus V1jp (L3DT, Torque Constructor, and TGEA) :
Core 2 Duo T7200, 2 Go DDE2, Radeon X1700 with 512 Mo dedicated (1024 shared), Hard Drive 160 Go SATA 5400rpm and DVD burner. Bonuses : Wifi, Bluetooth, DVI out and integrated 1,3Mpx Webcam.
The thing is that they deliver it with Vista Installed so I wanted to know if I would better reinstall XP SP2 on this or I just can let Vista ?

There's only one way to find out...

I don't know about that when I upgraded to Vista 64bit month or so ago, TGEA would boot up with the good ol' purple screen. Had to download the current DX9.0 to get rid of it, which is the normal fix anyways. :)

Why is TGEA so dependent on DX9 runtime?

That sucks. I haven't tried TGEA on Vista however I've played other DX9 games and they all ran fine.Why is TGEA so dependent on DX9 runtime?

I believe it depends on the DirectX SDK that it was compiled with.

I have no idea if that's true or not but if it is, that's bad.

I'm debugging (and running) on my Laptop with Vista installed. And everything is fine.
