Game Freezes and only unfreeze while click n hold the title bar

[Rixarles]

Hey all,

first of all hello, im new in the forums and im really really interested in working with AGS...

i followed the tutorials and read most of the FAQs and HELPs, but couldnt find something usefull to my question:

i can start AGS, i can edit things, i can make rooms and chars and etc,

when i save the game, and launch it ( doesnt matter if from AGS or from compiled folder, it ends the same way ), the game freezes, it only unfreeze if i click and hold the title bar ( yeah, that blue title bar every windows window have ) it happens even with template games downloaded here, so i guess its not my test game's fault..

the funny thing is that when i download a finished game ( already protected and compiled ), it works fine and smooth...

Does anyone have any idea on how to help me??

sorry if i bad spelled something, english is not my strong language =P

thanks in advance,

Richard Lintulahti

Hmmm. Did you try running the game in the Compiled folder after closing the editor ?

I suspect it's some app. trying to "steal" the focus of your system constantly. I don't know why, but it may be AGSEdit, since you said normal completed games worked, so the only difference I can think of is that when you're making your own game the editor was kept open.

hey! thanks for the reply! and yeap, i did try to close the editor and start the game from the compiled folder, i tryed to redownload the program too, but neither thing worked...

EDIT:
SOLVED ( or sort of ), i changed my game's color depht to 16bit instead of 256 and it worked =) i guess the games i downloaded from the net and worked were 16bit games so they worked! thanks for the replys and ill keep in touch =)

Edit by Ashen: Please don't double post!

Odd. Maybe it's your graphic card driver interfering with the apps.

Will it work if the game was set to run in fullscreen?

i guess it was my GPU. it didnt worked setting it for Full screen, the only thing that solved was to use 16 bit instead of 8 bit.. very strange, sience if it was a performance problem, it should be the opposite!

but anyways, its " solved " for now and i can continue using AGS
