TGE 1.4 and Windows Vista

by Alex (Stalker) Sakablukow · in Torque Game Engine · 02/13/2007 (4:06 am) · 7 replies

Have tryed to start our project (builded with modifed TGE 1.4) on a PC with Windows Vista, and it crashs.
Its TGE 1.4 not compatible to Vista?
Has someone any information how to get a old TGE 1.4 project to work with Windows Vista?

PS: Have tryed now to start a "clean" TGE 1.4 demo on Vista, and its crashes too..

Have you started it on Admin account?
As regular user you can not really work on Vista when it comes to dev unless you installed TGE to own files folder which I do not assume. (HomeWorld 2 for example will instantly crash as well on user account)

But either if you get it to work or not: It will be slower, more than only a few percent ... none of the used APIs has somewhere next XP hardware acceleration driverside currently.

Maybe some from GarageGames-Team can say what files are related to get TGE 1.4 to work with Windows Vista?
TGE 1.5 works, have tested it too, maybe its possible to merge some files from 1.5 to 1.4 to make it Vista-compatible?

If you can give some more info on the manner in which it crashes, maybe I can see if I can replicate a similar scenario here. We have done no official testing with Vista however, so support for that OS will be further down the line.

It seems that the engine cant find the graphic device (a Nvidia GeForce 7600 card).
But with WinXP on some PC it has worked with no errors.

I have tryed both, OpenGL and D3D, with equal result.

Did you update your drivers?

Yes, i already solved this "problem" *g*
It was really driver. My driver was a few month older as the nevest. ^^

Err... From what I know there are no Open GL support on Vista by default. Try forcing DirectX instead and see if it still doesn't work.
