Flickering images

by Saul Paley · in Torque Game Builder · 10/17/2012 (9:25 am) · 6 replies

When I drop and drag a sprite into the screen and run the game all I get is flickering of the app screen and the desktop screen. I have tried to use different file formats, and different sizing but they all do the same thing. Am I missing some basic solution here? Perhaps my computer isn't good enough to handle this?

Any help would be great! Thanks :)

Moved to the Torque Game Builder forum.

I would recommend importing it directly into the engine rather than using any drag and drop.

Hey, sorry I mean I import into the sprite screen, and then drag + drop it into the scene view. Is that the correct way to do this? It's a strange issue, I have seen no other posts about it

Ah! Okay, yes, that is the correct way to do it.

Is there a blank image in your sprite sequence?

Nope! It's just a single png image, in an empty level.

Wow! I've never seen anything like that!

Make sure you have the latest video drivers installed. I could see the video drivers causing something like that messiness!

Oh man, that is what we really didn't want to hear, haha! I guess our best bet is to try it on another computer. Thanks for your help!
