Help] Compiled Tank demo will not work on other computers

by Will Smith · in Torque X 2D · 08/16/2008 (3:25 pm) · 3 replies

I compiled the tank buster demo for TX XNA 2.0.

Everything runs fine on my computer, but when I send the files to someone the game just crashes when they try to run it.

Maybe they don't have the correct version of .Net installed? What is the text of the crash?

I'll get him to check his version of .net

I just ran your download and it works perfectly for me (though you can spare your friend the extra file size by removing the .pdb debug symbols. Unfortunately, I was not able to get much out of your posted screen shot. But as Jaimi says, .NET must be installed (2.0 should be fine) and of course Direct X 9. Ah - you should also include the XNA redistributable files - check your hard drive for the following folder:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft XNA\XNA Game Studio\v2.0\Redist

There, you should find the important files that your friend will need. Good Luck!
