I wanted to test out the new engine and I installed it on my computer but all it does is crash?? My computer specs is

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4400+

I thought maybe the download was corrupted and download it again but that seems to not be the case. Help please.

You have DirectX installed?

I just installed the demo and it also crashes upon startup.
I'm attempting to run the demo on P4 2.5GHz, 1 GB RAM, Windows XP Home SP2.

Hi guys, Does anyone now where I can download a trial of TGEA? Not the Demo that shows what it can do but the actual hands on trial so I can play with the software itself. Thanks in advance!

Yes, I got the demo to work on a second machine, but it is a demonstration of the product, not the product demo I was expecting.

Rick, you can go into the editor from F11 while going through the feature demo. Start a new mission or play around with what is there already. I'm guessing that is what you mean?

Are you running a debug build?

You prob need latest DirectX runtime. New demo should be up soon that fixes this.

Ah, thanks Brian.

For those who may come after me... It seems that the TGEA demo requires an update of DirectX 9.0c released by Microsoft... you may need to revise it as late as Feb 2; I don't know the exact date of the last functionality added.

A new demo is up that does not require that you update DX unless you haven't updated since October 2005.
