How to avoid annoying game lock ?
by Alessandro · in Torque 3D Beginner · 08/09/2012 (6:32 am) · 9 replies
Hello,
I noticed that when I try to use some demo like Mars, or Island (big scenario) the game periodically "locks" (freeze) for some moments (1 second?). It seems like if it is loading or caching something.
Before I start to make my game, I wish to know if this effect can be eliminated. If so, why don't you eliminate it from the demos? It is not a nice effect, even because that is weird!
How can be eliminated?
Is there any way to make a kind of preload (is that the problem)?
Thank you!

I had this effect even in tropical island (tried in Version 1.1). In that island, this effect also happened when I destroyed some objects. Maybe the engine was loading the broken meshes.

For example, if I try to run the game demo DeathBall Desert (from Torque 1.2 Toolbox), when I start to explore the scenario, sometimes (often) the game freeze for a moment, then continue.I had this effect even in tropical island (tried in Version 1.1).

I do not experience this issue so it might be a problem with your drivers or hardware.

Try making sure that all your drivers are updated and you have the latest version of DX etc etc.I do not experience this issue so it might be a problem with your drivers or hardware.
