Problem running Torque app's on my new computer....

by Alex Loren · in Torque Game Engine · 02/16/2003 (9:43 pm) · 3 replies

I've just got a 'new' computer, the first thing I did was install Realm Wars so I could finish working on some stuff for it. But it won't run I get an 'Unknowen Illegal Operation Error' I get this for every Torque App that I try to run, if some one could please help that would be very helpfull. Here are my old computer specs (Torque App's ran on this one)

P-266
128RAM
Voodoo 2 8mb

And my new computer specs (Torque App's WON'T run on this one)

P3-500
256RAM
ATI 3D Rage Pro (atir3)

EDIT: They both have DX8.1

Just a guess, but did you install OpenAL on your new computer?

Some other information you should provide that would be helpful in diagnosing your problem:

1) What OS are you running?
2) What version of ATI drivers are you using?
3) What version of Realm Wars are you using?
3) Copy of your console.log file.

I bet it has something to-do with the ATI card. I had a similar issues on an older laptop with a similar card.

The computers are running on Win98SE, I'm using an old 4.10.1720 driver but as I'm typing this I'm downloading an update for that driver. The version of Realm Wars is the current stable release from www.realmwarsgame.com/downloads/index.shtml

EDIT: Ok I've got the new driver installed and Torque App's work now, though the text on the buttons don't show up, they come up as blackboxs...
