Win restart only way out endless script while loop

by Edo Broekman · in Torque Game Builder · 05/19/2005 (1:57 am) · 4 replies

I cant seem to end my game or get to the taskmanager if I accidently make a infinite while loop (in full screen mode, Win 2K, Torque 2D script ). Is there a solution for this? Apart from pressing the reset button on my PC?

Press Alt-Enter to go into windowed mode and then kill it with the task manager, maybe?

Do as Jason says or you can just do Alt/Ctrl/Del which will automatically take you out of fullscreen and present you with the task-manager so you can delete the process.

The problem was ctrl-alt-del did not get it out full screen. The windows mouse cursur came up but the screen was stuck at T2D. Maybe its the ATI OpenGL implementation, dunno. And I didnt try alt-enter at the time. Ill have a look when I feel like resetting my PC on purpose.

I have another recommendation: run the program in your debugger if you can... Then it is one click away from being stopped.
