Torque 2D access to internet

by Andrew Pritchard · in Torque Game Builder · 08/24/2005 (2:20 am) · 8 replies

Hi

Just bought Torque2D (thanks) and plodding through the Basic Tuitorial.

It seems that T2D attempts to access the internet at start up - this is caught on my machine which has a block on viruses and such. Can this be shut off since I don't want any game I create being accused of being spyware?

Thanks

Andy

Interesting. I don't believe I've ever been warned about T2D, either through windows firewall or ZoneAlarm.

I had the same question a long time ago, but it was never really resolved. I removed the network scripts from the common folder, so maybe that will help. I dunno....

Like Teck, I've never gotten any firewall warnings for T2D (I do for TGE builds).

My version of T2D did the same thing the first time it was launched

Interesting... mine does that occasionally, too. ZoneAlarm catches it from time to time. I wonder what that is?

Torque does use networking - both for the debugger and the client/server stuff (which is builtin to TGE). So it follows that some firewall and/or security software complains about it when Torque opens up a TCP/IP port and starts listening.
