Torque 3D Demo(s) won't run

by Derry Bryson · in Technical Issues · 01/16/2012 (4:51 pm) · 5 replies

I have installed the Torque 3D 1.2 demo. The Toolbox runs, but when I click on 'World Editor', 'Play Game', 'Gui Editor' nothing happens. I can see that 'FPS Example.exe' is running, but nothing is displaying. No console.log is created.

I have also downloaded the 4 demos none of which will work either out of the box. I was able to get the Pacific demo to run after added the following line:

$pref::Video::mode = "1024 768 false 32 60 0";

to the onStart() function in main.cs of the for that demo (I saw this in another thread).

I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti, latest drivers, directx and physx.

Thanks.

may be the problem is with toolbox.

strange.NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti does not support anti-aliasing.

that technique is only for integrated grafics card that does not support MLAA anti-aliasing.GTX 550 Ti must have that.

may be problem was in u r system.

Yeah, something is wrong. I would love to find out what.

I play quite a few games on this machine without problems.

I figured it out. There was an openal32.dll included with the HP WebOS SDK that was causing Torque to hang.

May I ask what are you doing with the "HP WebOS SDK" ?
