TGB 1.5.1 just installed. Maxes CPU

by Lance Hampton · in Torque Game Builder · 10/14/2007 (6:59 pm) · 3 replies

I just installed 1.5.1 and the CPU runs at 100% from startup. I can't even get past the create/open option.

Any ideas of what might be incompatible?

Well, there is nothing like posting on the garagegames forums to get something resolved.

Two reboots and no system changes later, everything *starts up fine*.

I thought it was running and it seems to run well, I have access to all the menus and dialogs and resources. But when I try to run from there, my game comes up as a black screen. Unless there is some subtlety between 1.3 and 1.5 that I'm not catching, I'm going through the same steps to create a project, create a level (just a background image) and run the level. 1.3 displays my background image along with play/pause at the top, 1.5 displays a completely black screen and not even the mouse. Once I hit ' for the console, the mouse works over the console and leaves a trail over the game. When I close the console, nothing gets updated anymore and the mouse disappears.

FYI, when I had my AMD 64 3000, I had this all the time. I'd need to open another instance & lower the priority down from normal.

Now that I got an AMD X2 4200, that doesn't happen any more.

go figure. :/

so maybe try lowering the priority & opening another instance.

Ok, uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled. It works correctly now.
