FPS 2.0 tutorial explodes with polygons
by Tim Heron · in Torque 3D Beginner · 01/25/2013 (4:03 am) · 9 replies
When starting the FPS demo in the game it starts with a nice view of China town but then explodes with random polygons. Looking at the ground only, things work ok but looking anywhere else has the random polygons. I copied the Torque 3d folder to another computer and the tutorial works well so it is something to do with my computer.
My computer is a HP Pavilion dv6 3006tx Laptop (64bit 4GB RAM Windows 7) with an ATI Radeon 5650M graphics card.
Any help would be appreciated.

What Steve said, that's all video drivers and DX runtimes there.

It looks as though the sky box is wonky.

Ive had this type of effect before (not in T3D) many years ago.. I "think" it turned out to be bad video ram.
