Can't run the demo

by Martin Becker · in Torque Game Engine · 06/16/2006 (10:38 am) · 5 replies

I want to try the indi licence demo before i buy to see if it's what i want, but when i run it, all i get is a "demo.exe has encounterd a problem" error and i can't use it. I have seen what the TGE looks like and would like to see for my self how it works, but i can't becuase it won't run, how do i fix it?

Does your computer meet the minimum system requirements? Did you download the correct demo according to your operating system?

There should be a console.log file that might give you some information on what the error could be.

whilst im here ill ask some questions i just thought about
Im learning to use lightwave, so can it export to a usable format that TGE can read, also what does the demo exactly show?
and also im from UK so how would i go about purchasing Tourq game engine and subsequent extra's such as the lighting game pack ?

You can only buy it from the site from the products section.

The info from the console doesn't shread any lights on the problem, thoug. So I can't help you there.
