When the text gets jumbled

by Matthew W · in Torque Game Engine · 01/10/2008 (2:50 pm) · 7 replies

Hi

Sometimes the text (like "would you like to restart the game" in the GameOne tutorial) when running torquedemo sometimes gets jumbled and it's unreadable. It happens toward the end of the text line making the end unreadable. Has anyone else had this problem before?

This happened to me as well, but I don't know how to fix it :(

I haven't seen this with Torque. Are you running any localization software for Windows? Or running on a non-English version of Windows?

Hi. No at home i am using Windows Vista Business edition in English. This happened at only my home comptuer - at school it never happens. edit: At school we have windows xp.

My guess is it's a Vista issue. Perhaps updating/reinstalling the video drivers could clean it up?

I've stayed away from Vista like the plague myself.

Happens for me too on XP, so I don't think it's a Vista related issue.

We are using multiple installations of XP Pro Swedish and one installation of Vista Swedish, and I'm quite sure we haven't seen that one.
