Freeze-up during Loading Objects (TGE)

by Sam Redfern · in Torque Game Engine · 01/03/2008 (11:40 am) · 3 replies

One of my players has been having a recurring problem: certain missions, at certain times, have been unloadable to him. He freezes up at precisely the same position in the Loading Objects bar each time. Other players can load as normal into the same mission.

He has tried disabling all firewalls, which didn't help.

Does anyone have any ideas what might be going on?

Have you asked him to email you his console.log? That will tell you what's going wrong.

There's nothing useful in there, unfortunately. I think it has to be some kind of network problem, perhaps an interaction with some other application that's running. It's not Torque's fault per-se, I think, since it's working pefectly on the very same mission for other players.

Try having him host the mission. That would eliminate networking issues as part of your problem. Also consider he gets through part of the loading process without a hitch. It's doubtful that the network would just stop working for some datablocks but not others.

Any time I've encountered symptoms like yours, there was a problem with loading a particular object. Is it possible he has a bugged install?
