Crashes While Loading Mission

by Adam Lindsay · in General Discussion · 09/24/2006 (10:57 pm) · 4 replies

Any help would be much appreciated.

I used the tutorial base (copied) and developed a mission. I added a load of interior items (maybe 80-100), saved the level, then hit Render Lighting. Half way through, the program just disappeared. When I went to rerun it and load the mission, it loaded the objects, then halfway through the render lighting, just disappeared.

I have this fear that Im going to hear "time to start over."

PLEASE tell me there is something I can do to fix this without starting over...

Again, ANY help would be appreciated.

I recently had problems with Torque crashing while lighting. The problem was due to too many long thin polys in the DIF. The fix was to ensure that everything that could be made into a detail was. See this thread

Take a look in your console.log and see what's causing the problem. It will be in the same folder as the exe.

Console.log has nothing to do with it,, i had the same problem and i looked there and there was no problems, whats happening is the program is being overloaded trying to render everything at once. you might need to combine some interior items or have less.

Have you tried getting the Torsion product which lets you debug as you run and precompile the torque script. I've found it useful, except it does seem to struggle with the TSE.
