TGB playing slow

by Damien W · in Torque Game Builder · 05/26/2009 (5:40 am) · 3 replies

My problem is simple: each time I run my created game on TGB, it plays really slow. I have searched the forums for help, but most of them were in the TGE section which I don't have access to. Is this a computer hardware problem, or a simple tweak to TGB? If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

What hardware do you have?
What kind of speeds do the objects in your game have?
Have you tried your game on another computer?

My computer is: Pentium 4, 2.66 GHz, 512 Mb RAM, factory installed graphics card (Intel 8086 family I believe)

I'm actually just starting TGB (for college). I'm trying the tutorial game: FishGame, so I'm using the setVelocity X (20) code snippet provided.

No.

Thanks for any help received.

I seem to recall 20 worked ok as the velocity for that tutorial, so its probably down to your somewhat outdated hardware. Especially if you have an integrated GFX card.

Try increasing the velocity to 200, if that makes it faster but still smooth, just use multiply velocities etc by 10, if its makes it slow but jerky, try it on a different computer.
