Mac TGB Pro 1.1.1 - starting TGB just shows blank window
by Michael Keith · in Torque Game Builder · 08/22/2006 (12:10 pm) · 5 replies
Hi,
i haven't tried TGB for some time (it worked fine for me a couple of months back). anyway, now when i try to start up TGB it just shows a blank white screen.. occasionally it has corrupt gfx from my desktop window etc in it.
here's the initial bit (trimmed slightly) of the console log.. one thing i notice is the failure of initDisplayDeviceInfo() - i saw this mentioned in another thread but there didn't appear to be any conclusion...
er.. and the bit about unknown processor, assuming x86 probably isn't good (it's a g4 powerbook!)

Well, i tried it on my intel mac mini and it runs fine on that.. is this a known issue with g4 macs?

I've got a G4 mini and it's running perfectly fine for me (although I'm awaiting 1.1.1 too).

Ahh, well, it's working fine now. i installed some OSX updates and rebooted - not sure which of those sorted it (i only reboot once every couple of months or so).
