Problems with TGB in Vista
by Martin Andresen · in Torque Game Builder · 03/19/2007 (10:19 am) · 5 replies
I have a problem with TGB on Vista if I use the latest ATI driver (Catalyst 7.2). When TGB starts it uses 100% percent of the CPU and never shows a window. I tried downloading some other TGB games from garagegames and they also use 100% and never display anything.
If I install the previous driver (Catalyst 7.1) everything works fine (except TGB crashes when exiting). If I use the driver included with Vista there is no problems at all.
Has anyone else experienced and/or solved this problem.

I have another problem with TGB in Vista. I installed it on a vaio lptop with an intel GPU 955. The problem is when I create a new project, I can't see it in the project folder (Torque game builder\games) but I still can see it on the torque open file dialog form.
Can someone help me?
Nota : I've got the same problem with an evaluation version of Torsion. I can load a .cs file that it doesn't appear in my browser but can be seen in the open file dialog form

Anyway, do not install TGB into your program files folder on Vista. It will save you a lot of trouble.
If Vista doesn't have rights to write a certain file, it is written into a mapped folder. This is why your files dissapear/revert to old version/other weird things.
I think the TGB installer should be changed for vista, becuase it puts the development environment in the program files folder by default... but for Vista users, that really isn't a good idea. Vista doesn't like files being changed/written there.

I will try to remove my installation and install it again in another folder.
I keep you posted

For me it looks like an error in the newest ATI radeon driver, since there is no problems with previous drivers.
