Yeah be sure to install the DX March 2009 SDK, there's a sticky in the main Torque 3D Private forum that has links to the needed downloads.

(I dev on Vista Ultimate :)

Hey Jonathan,

Could you look in your Genre Kits/FPS Genre Kit/game/console.log to see if there are any clues there? Also, do you happen to have UAC enabled?

How about if you try running:

Genre Kits/FPS Genre Kit/game/FPS Genre Kit.exe directly as Administrator by right clicking on the exe.

Thanks for the report!

Ok, well, i did that prior to installing the torque 3d, like I mentioned above, thanks for the pointer though, both of you. So I'll just try to re-install the sdk and the Torque 3d again and see what results I get.

Cross post, Josh posted at the same time I did, let me look at the log. I have the UAV disabled.

no Console.log file exists (C:\Torque\Torque 3D 2009 Beta 1\Genre Kits\FPS Genre Kit\game)

suggestion: use the user folder on Vista, not the app sub folder, this will get around build issues and other known security issuses with vista, make a user projects go into their user folder, create a Torque 3D Projects folder their

I am currently re-installing DXSDK now, so can't try the run as administrator at the moment.

3 versions of Vista here: Premium, Ultimate, Ultimate 64, and all work equally well for me.

Second install of DKSDK fixed it, so it wasn't a full install the first time maybe, who knows.
