torquedemo app crash question (by newbie)

by Kelly \"Dervish\" Beck · in General Discussion · 10/02/2002 (8:12 pm) · 11 replies

I was trying to run the torque demo app in -show mode (v 1.1.1) and It always crashes with this message: "torquedemo.exe has generated errors and will be closed by windows"

Could me not meeting the video card requirements generate this error or do I need to look elsewhere?

thanks

You mention it not working when you try to run show, but, does it run when you just run the example program by it's self? (IE, just running Torque, no mods definied.)

The only way I have gotten it to run is in dedicated mode and it generates some script errors. Seems to start despite them though

I have tried all kinds of command line options. I get the same error running it with no mods

Do you have a 3D card in the machine of some sort, with either Direct3D or OpenGL support? If, for instance, the card had no OpenGL support, then edit the prefs.ini file, and change it from OpenGL to Direct3D.

If ya' don't have a 3D card at all in the machine, well... unluckly you can't run the game.

Sorry, can't help you much more now. Win2K doesn't have a problem with Torque, but I don't know anything about the ATI Rage Pro cards. The only suggestion I've got is to make sure you have the most current drivers installed, and that other 3D games work properly on the machine.

Anyone else got better, and hopefully more useful, advice than me?

thanks man, Ill go update some stuff and try a game out (normally this machine is strictly for dev purposes so I dont have a 3D game on it right now)

update: just hit the ati site and found out RagePro does not support openGL, will start with Direct3D switch.

ATI All-in-Wonder 128 with the newest patch. I just need a new video card on the dev machine and this is a good exuse ;-)

Have you tried running the app with -log 1 or -console?

I had a problem similar to this with my GeForce 2,
when I'd start Tribes 2 I'd get a unhandled exception
c0000005 at 00000000, when I run torqueDemo_DEBUG.exe
I got a no Display device found (same as what tribes
is trying to tell me)...

must be a bug with Torque, cuz when I go and start up
another DX application (I used Hitman 2 Demo), it starts
no problem... and once I come out again I can run
the TorqueDemo.exe or T2 no problems... rebooting will
also fix it, but its faster to start another DX game and
quit.

Went and bought a PNY made Gforce Ti4200 64M card and that fixed the problem. Thanks everyone ;-)
