Problems getting Torque X up
by Jeremiah Cooper · in Torque X 2D · 02/08/2009 (11:37 am) · 2 replies
I am running on a custom built gaming PC. It's running Vista. So I meet the system requirements etc. I installed a few things last night:
Visual C# 2005 Express Edition
XNA 2.0 Game Studio
Torque X Pro 2.0
From what I read I should be able to start a new torque project via Visual C#. However all I see are the XNA projects - and I also do not have a key for Torque X Builder even though I bought Torque X? Is there a seperate key I have to buy to run the builder? Thanks for your help.

If it is Torque X Pro from the old site (meaning you bought it before the site change) then it doesn't have a game builder key because they used to be separate... however, according to David you should be able to "purchase" Torque X 2D for $0 if you have a TX Pro license.

I believe that the direction of the split is between 2D and 3D functionality and previous TX Pro + Builder owners will have access to TX 2D licenses without an upgrade charge while TX 3D will have a new license, though at a reduced price to previous Pro /+Builder licensees.
Existing Pro users with a builder license can "purchase" TX 2D for $0, I believe, since the builder and source have been rolled into a single product. I just tested this and it currently works this way.
I will need to check on the discount pricing since the store is still registering $150 with ownership of Pro and Builder licenses for a preorder of TX 3D (I just tested that as well). I'll check and if an upgrade price needs to be adjusted and just hasn't been done yet, then I'l add a support ticket for that change to be adjusted.

You should find the new StarterGame 2D/3D icons in the New Project dialog box. It may be under the Visual C# folder or the XNA folder, I don't recall which. Also, for your product key, go to the top of this Web page and click "My Account" to get your product key for TorqueX Builder.
