XP Pro compatibily issues

by Jeff Raab · in Torque Game Engine · 10/21/2004 (6:40 pm) · 3 replies

I had posted before about the Demo refusing to run, well it appears, that the culprit is windows itself. the other members i had talked to on the team thata were having the demo fail all had XP Pro, and i had also moved from XP Home to another comp with Pro, getting the same results.

Im beginning to think that A: Pro doesnt run torque(which seems unlikely) or
B: VC++ 2005 dislikes compiling and then having the app moved to Pro.
Anyone have any ideas why this may be occuring?


On another note, what is the best way to go from head to 1.3? I made several engine modifications, and would really rather not have to do them again

My team is running XP Pro with no problems at all. I don't think that's your issue. What video cards are you using? The best way to go from a prevous HEAD to 1.3 are these steps:

1. Put Your HEAD and 1.3 on the Same hard drive (Different folders)
2. Install Winmerge (Free)
3. Open your HEAD and 1.3 with Winmerge and merge your changes into the 1.3 version.
4. Compile Done.

I have done this 3 times so far Pre 1.2, 1.2, and 1.3 with no problems at all.

The only problem i see with xp pro is desktop resulotution ( and im not sure its xp pro specific), if your game settings (res) is higher then your desktop, all you will get is a torque dos promt thing and no game. The fix for this is to set your desktop higher and go into torque options and lower your res settings

Then its very possible, by the sounds of it, that my compiler is the problem :/
alright
