Issues running torque
by MatthewJRandall · in Hardware Issues · 11/24/2013 (12:02 pm) · 6 replies
I still have my copy of torque 2d 1.8 and would ike to continue to use it however im suffering an issue and am not sure whats going on. just curious to see if anyone else has seen this before.
Recently got a new computer so i had to re-download the software from my account. no problems there however when i run the .exe file the standard "are you sure you want to run this" pops up i click ok and then nothing...it disappears and there's no trace of the software from there. I've tried right clicking and running as admin to with no luck.
any suggestions or tips here would be greatly appreciated as i don't understand at all whats happening.
the other quick question i have is about the new 2.0 version of torque. Does it no longer share the same interface as the original torque did. (the drag and drop kinda themed system)?.
Computer specs just in case my hardware is no good for the 1.8
windows 7 home 64bit
processor: i7 3610qm @ 2.30ghz

hdd: 1tb

Delete any and all files in c:/users/Your_user_Name/AppData/Roaming/GarageGames. Then run to see if it works. If that doesn't work, move the folder to your Program Files directory. If it still doesn't ru, turn off UAC all together temporarily to see if it works.

Also cant even open the console file now. says another process is using it...

You can use Ctrl-Alt-Delete to bring up the Task Manager and look for any instances of Torque that might be left "undead" on your system. If you see one, use End Process to stop it.
Also - uninstall T2D 1.8, then reinstall it but run the setup program as ADMIN. Or just correct your UAC settings before reinstalling it - yeah, that would be better....

Google has many hits on UAC, or User Account Control.You can use Ctrl-Alt-Delete to bring up the Task Manager and look for any instances of Torque that might be left "undead" on your system. If you see one, use End Process to stop it.

checked for running instances there's nothing. as for UAC settings that did not work. same problem. very confusing...tried re-downloading the software as well.
only thing I can think of from here is that there might be a problem with my PC preventing it from running. I am gonna try to download and install the software on a different computer as a test to see what happens.

so torque isn't even installing. It wont run the installer that's the issue. it wont load anything. I double click .exe file as per usual and it literally just does nothing.checked for running instances there's nothing. as for UAC settings that did not work. same problem. very confusing...tried re-downloading the software as well.

As for your second question, the answer is no. T2D MIT (2.0) is not compatible with the legacy versions that ship with an editor. Some 3rd party tools are supported, like TexturePacker and Spine, but the engine itself is purely programmer driven at the moment.
