Hi guys,
I really don't understand this... first of TGB 1.5 crashes like 3min after I start it, I tried in 3 PCs and already tried to reinstall it...
them each time I try to make a new project or open any one it says this:
The project file you are attempting to open was created with an incompatible version of this software.
Conversion of 1.1.x projects will be address soon, we apologize for the inconvenience.
ok... what the hell is this? I only installed TGB 1.5 (never installed a previous version on this PC) and I still can't create a NEW project? The only project I can open is the "project.t2dproj" on the BehaviorPlayground folder...
Its just me having this problem?

The only project you can open is the one you mention. There is no other template project for 1.5
Create works without any problems to me. Do you perhaps try to create it at a different place than own files/myGames ?

Thanks for your post. Unfortunately your rash interpretation of a bug report is both vague and inappropriate. As such, I'm unable to understand what is going on. So here's my 'best guess'...
It seems like what you may be seeing is that you're trying to 'Create' a game in a location in which you don't have file creation access. This is not properly reported in yesterday's 1.5 release, and will result in you getting the message you reported seeing.
Secondly, the message you saw was incorrect, in that it said you were trying to convert a project, when what it really meant is that it couldn't open the project file descriptor from your Hard Drive. This could be because of the problem I suggested above, and is the only 'wild-hair' guess I have to offer you.
We have fixed this issue, and updated the error reporting to be more accurate, and have a build pending upload to our site. Unfortunately we will not be able to get it on the site until Monday. Thanks for your patience, and I hope your problem is solved by creating a game in a location you can write to :)
Cheers,

Where are you creating your game? (HardDrive/FlashDrive/NetworkDrive?)
What is the file path (e.g. C:\Documents and Settings\yourUser\My Games\)
What is the name you're specifying for your game? (e.g. MyTetrisClone)

If that did not help, please tell me more about what is happening for you...Where are you creating your game? (HardDrive/FlashDrive/NetworkDrive?)
What is the file path (e.g. C:\Documents and Settings\yourUser\My Games\)
What is the name you're specifying for your game? (e.g. MyTetrisClone)

My games directory where in the default path "C:\Documents and Settings\yourUser\My Games\", the problem is that my "C:\Documents and Settings\yourUser" have a special character "~" that TGB don't recognize. I'm now at work but I will try it still today.
But answering the questions I'm creating on the hard drive in the tgb's default path folder and the name of the game was simply "Test".
I will post the results as soon as possible.
