Title: Bug: Test Game Problem
Post by: Barcik on Sat 07/02/2004 15:30:11
I'm on my sister's computer (she wanted to play something on mine) - PIII 500 MHz running on Windows XP. I moved my game here and downloaded the latest version of AGS. When I clicked the 'test game' button, after the bar filled, the screen flickered for a second, and then it returned me to the AGSEdit screen. In the start bar, I could see that it did turn on the game. But, when I clicked it, the game maximized for a second and then minimized again. There was no way to exit it except using the task manager. When I tried to run the game from the 'compiled' directory it worked fine. Any clues?

Edit: Now it just goes all dark.
Edit: And now it doesn't even want to run the compiled file. I'll try restarting and downloading some other AGS game.
Edit: It won't run 6DA. Strange, it used to work fine when it was my computer. I suspect my sister has installed some shit over here.

Strange - some people have problems with the Test Game feature, I'm not sure why it happens. Is the latest version of DirectX installed?

Maybe it's because she has a 500 Hertz processor.


Or maybe you should just wait until she gives your computer back.

Heh, there's an M missing there.

Anyway, of course there's no problem to wait until she finishes - I just wanted to bring this to CJ's attention.


CJ, I believe so, but I am not sure. I will check tomorrow.

If you restart the computer, will it then run the Compiled game again? I've had a couple of reports where using the Test Game feature basically screws up AGS games until you restart windows - again, I'm not sure why it happens because it only happens on some computers.
