Title: First time I test game, it hangs
Post by: simulacra on Tue 27/07/2004 19:21:16
Every time I fire up the editor and try to run the game, it hangs. The application opens, but then there is nothing. I see the window of the game, but no graphics or anything. After switching back to AGS with alt-tab, then I can at least close it down. Second time and thereafter when I run the game, it works with no problem.

Has anyone had the same problem?

Its a known issue, no one can figure out what its doing, since CJ can't replicate the problem.  Just have to live with it for now, sorry.

If the test game functions failed, just don't use it, it just provides convinence for computers that work fine with it. Go to the Compiled folder and run the game directly instead to test it.

Well, I'll do that. Thank you.

simulacra: Can you try testing a game with the digital sound set to "No digital sound" and the MIDI music set to "Disable music"? Once I solved a problem like that this way.

Well it's very dependent on your computer I think, as I ALWAYS set both to NONE when I test a game at home, yet it still hung sometimes.

Yes, the computer you're using matters. I find it locks up the first time for me only on some computers.
