Tech Demo Crash

Hi everyone,

I've being attempted to use the Tech Demo to test on my machine before I purchase the Alpha, however every time I run the program it crashes. No idea what could be causing it. I've downloaded the demo from multiple sources, still having no luck. I'm running Windows 7 64-bit with up to date directx as well as directx9 runtime libraries.

Thanks,
Matt.

 

What are your pc specifications and have you installed the latest graphics card driver?

 

Have the latest graphics driver.

Specs:
Core i5-2400 @ 3.10 Ghz
8GB DDR3-1600
Nvidia Gefore 210 1GB (Terrible card, but handles dx9 fine)
1TB Hard drive

 

Can you post the log file, I think its called torque3d.log

 

Here's the log;

Installation does look incomplete, appears to be missing files. Permissions issue?
The Graphics card is fairly useless, but can handle some titles surprisingly well (as long as texture filtering is set low, slow card).
Will be upgrading in the near future.

 

i had an 8400gs which has the same gpu and it got like 10-15fps

 

try re-installing it if you havn't already

 

I am experiencing the same issue, no matter how many times I download there is no `levels/main.cs` or `art/web/web.cs` there IS a `levels` and `art` folder. Also I've tried running as admin. Here is my `torque3d.log`:
