very slow control

by Alexander Porter · in Torque Game Engine · 08/27/2002 (2:04 pm) · 8 replies

ok I kinda had this problem with the HEAD version too and i hope someone out there can help me with it. when i start the stable 112 version in the demo the mouse and rest of the game is laggy almost- my machine is top notch so it's not that- the mouse isn't moving fluidly and neither does the player.

Do you have the most current drivers for all of your hardware?

95% of the time this is the cause of something like this.

I had a problem with a driver issue in D3D which caused this under a radeon card. Changing the driver fixed it. Dunno if its the same thing.

I had a similar problem and have had to use an older version of the winWindow.cc file to correct it. It's in the platformWin32 folder. It's worth a try anyway.

I have a geforce3 with Windows XP but it's happened in every engine download I've tried since about May or so.

Backup or rename you current winWindow.cc file that's found in the engine\platformWin32 folder and replace it with a winWindow.cc file from TGE 1.1.1. I could also send you my winWindow.cc file if you need it. I just put the couple changes in the file from the 1.1.2 engine instead of using an older copy. Then rebuild the engine.

Always make sure you are using the drivers that came with the card. Do not use Microsoft's drivers simply because they don't support OpenGL and other standards. The default drivers are ment to be used for first-time basis, meaning for when you first install the video card so you can see what you are doing long enough to install the right drivers.
