Vista Home Premium x64 bit and TGE 1.5.2 problem
by Roland Orr · in Torque Game Engine · 01/13/2009 (7:05 pm) · 3 replies
ok, so i recently got a new laptop, a real nice one. But it runs VHPx64.
After moving over all my data from my old one i did not run tge until the other day, when i ran into a wierd problem. Bindings did not work for Console, GuiEdit, and the Editors (IE: ~, F10, F11). So i downloaded a fresh copy of TGE adn ran it. Found out that the ~ console shortcut turned out to be a bad binding on my copy of it. but still the editors do not load. I checked the console.log and nothing. if i bring up the console and type in GuiEdit(); i get that, but when i type toggleEditor(); to bring up the world editors ect ... i get nothing.
Anyone else running a 64bit version of Vista taht has or had the same problem? anyone have any ideas as to the nature of the issue?
Thanks in advance for the replies.

But it bothers me that i have to hit 'F11' that many times to get it to load.
Something else that has bugged me, FPS rates on the start.fps missions are crap, complete crap. I am talking 1 frame per sec here. and with my machines specs it should SCREAM, here is the specs of my newest machine, which Scream like a bandit in games like: Assasins Creed, Fall Out 3, Freealancer (a 2003 game). Mass Effect, COD4, BUT not TGE. TGE sucks ass for some reason:
OS: VHP x64
Ram: 4 Gigs DDR3
CPU: Intel COre 2 Duo 2.0 Ghz
HDD: 2x 320Gig 7200RMP SATAII
Display: 18.4 inch Wide
Vid: nVidia Geforce 9500M GT (512megs Dedicated Vid DDR3 Ram)
My old machine which ran Vista Ultimate x32:
OS: VU x32
CPU: Intel COre 2 Duo 1.73 Ghz
Display: 17" Wide
Ram: 2 Gigs DDR2
Vid: nVidia GeForce 7600M GS (256 Megs Dedicated DDR3)
HDD: 160Gig 5200RMP
Had NONE of these problems, it compiled great, and ran awesome on Win XP and Vista. I did not even get the bindings problem. it just ran great on it. But not my x64 bit vista system.
I am gonna test the barracade demo in x64 and see if i get any of the same issues.

i just changed a few settings to the exe (compatibilty stuff) and got the the bindings to work, however i had to hit the F11 key 12 times to get the mission/World editor to load. oddly enough it is something i totally forgot to try. Should have tried this before. But it bothers me that i have to hit 'F11' that many times to get it to load.

I'm running TGE 1.5.2 with Vista Ultimate 64bit and its work fine with me. Just need to turn off User Account Control from Windows Security Control.
