Torque Memory Error
by Kevin Bamonte · in Torque Game Engine · 08/22/2008 (6:16 am) · 4 replies
I've handed out the beta version of my game to a bunch of friends for testing - everyone was atleast able to run the game fine except for one person
they have a newer pc, 2.5ghz processor, 1gb memory, Vista (game using OpenGL and her video card supports it)
when starting up they said it sits for a while and then comes up with a window that says "Torque Memory Error" - their machine then locks up and they need to reboot ...
any direction on how to track this down - she unistalled and reinstalled with the same results -
funny everyone else was atleast able to run the game except her ...
any help is greatly appreciated !
thanks -

I believe it is a dual core and she is using an NVIDIA Quadro PCI-E Seriesdo you think it is probably video card related ?
thanks in advance

Vista is not very conducive to OpenGL atm. You might want to ask her to get her drivers updated. I had similar problems (not exactly the same, but the game would lock up none the less). I was using an Intel integrated board and apparently Intel is still working on their Vista GL drivers. They don't have support for a lot of OpenGL extensions.
One more thing you might want to try is disabling a couple of OpenGL extensions, in your prefs.cs file. If it is a Graphics card problem, that might solve it.

Check the task manager and see if it is taking up 100% on one of her cores.
