Torque2D.exe won't launch

by Amjad Yahya · in Torque 2D Beginner · 02/12/2013 (12:32 am) · 12 replies

Seems like a big leap, Thank you GG.

I downloaded the precompiled version of T2D MIT, when I tried to launch the engine it did not work and gave me this error "Torque2D.exe is not a valid 32 application".

Does that mean that I have to have a 64 bit Windows version? Can't I get to work on Windows 32 bit?

I'm working on Windows XP 32 bit, SP3. Any help to get it to work is appreciated.

Thanks

@Amjad - That's really strange. Torque2D.exe is compiled in 32 bit mode. I'll ask around to see if anyone else is having the problem. Does it generate a console.log in its root directory at all?

I'll double check to see what compatibility the executable was compiled for, then upload a new version later today. Ok, the problem was that it compiled with VS2012. We'll have to recompile the executable and upload a new version later today. Sorry about that.

Thanks Michael, the executable did not generate any console log simply because it can't launch.

Alright, thanks for the heads up on the platform troubles. I'll be handing off an updated build to our web dev in a little bit.

Have you updated the build and posted it?

@Amjad - Sorry, not yet. I got swamped with some other tasks yesterday. I created the package but did not forward to the web dev, as I wanted to double check it. Unfortunately I could not find an XP machine to test on. So you'll have to be my first tester. If you want, I can send it directly to you to check first. If that's OK, send me an e-mail. My address is listed in my profile.

Alright. We've update the precompiled package. Use this link: Torque2D-2.0.zip

@Michael, what about the OSX version, T2d won't launch in versions lower than OSX 10.7.

I have OSX 10.6.8, and my Mac is limited to this version, I can't update to 10.7.
