Constructor/GMK crash on load

by Bill Hayes · in Hardware Issues · 09/20/2009 (1:02 am) · 4 replies

Hey guys, hop I'm posting in the right spot...I'm having problems with Constructor and the Game Mechanics Kit crashing when I try to load em. All I get is an error report message. I'm running a Pentium 4 2.4 GHz, with 1.5 GB Ram, with an ATI Radeon HD3600 w/ 1GB Ram. TGEA runs great, and I had Constructor working before, but my MOBO drivers got screwed up somehow, so i downloaded the newest ones I could find, and no dice. I don't understand. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As far as I know, you need source access to be able to install the GMK. Still, I can't see a TGEA license on your profile. Can you let us know how you have licensed the engine / have access to TGEA source?

Im just using the demos of the engine. I downloaded the demo GMK, and it doesnt work on my desktop, but it loads just fine on my laptop which has never had Torque on it. I'm just getting a feel for the engine and the script before I buy the license when I get my tax returns (im a broke-ass college student haha) Don't worry, I wouldnt bootleg your guys' hard work, when Im an upstart game dev myself, its a slap in the face to both of us :)

Thanks for clarifying that, Bill. Good luck, and I hope you manage to get the engine you want.When you do, be sure to let me know if you need any help with getting off the ground with it.

Bill, you can find GMK forums here, where Yuri Dobronravin will probably will be able to help you with why the demo is not working on your PC.

I'm not sure that Constructor's crash is related, but it also has its separate forum where you might have more luck asking around.

Good luck!
