Problems with Torque Game Engine

#1 Have you looked at the console.log file that gets generated? The file is located in the same location as the .exe and it will contain information on what it was attempting to do or failed to do. Post it here if you don't know what you are looking at.

Also what are you running? I assume that you are running the TGE demo from this sight. Is that correct or are you running the TSE demo or a version of TGE (torque game engine) compilied by someone else?

Without knowing that information all I can say is "update your video drivers" it might help.

Good luck,

#2 I'm using TGE compilied by someone else and this is what I found in that .log file:

Those are big flashing warning signs to look for, sounds like the build you got is either incomplete (missing files, scripts, etc) or just not compiled correctly, or not a good build. I'm assuming if you try to run other 3D Applications, they work. Another good way is to download the demo from this site, and try to run that.

If the demo works, then it's probably the build you recieved. If the demo doesn't work, it's probably a graphics related issue, and further investigation here would be needed.

#4 Err I mean graphics driver.
Will it work with GeForce?

#5 GeForce what? And which driver version?

Hit up NVidia and get the newest drivers for your hardware and test it a second time. Ignore the compatability mode drivers offered on Windows Updates. They often cause more problems than they fix.

#6 If you trust windows that your drivers are not 'approved'.. you will possibly get some very ancient drivers. The error messages lead me to believe it is a driver issue, or at least the first place to look.

#7 Never mind, I fixed the problem by replacing the screens.
