problems loading sandbox

Post by mickal »

Hello,
When I press the launch button in the launcher it will load up some of the packages and recalculate the geometry and then close. I have tried running it as an administrator but it doesn't seem to work.

OS: Windows Vista Home Premium
Processor: Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU T2370 @ 1.73 GHz 1.73 GHz
Graphics: Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family

Thanks.

the intel drivers by nature are unreliable

first try updating your drivers (though things are undergoing a somewhat heavy overhaul.. so they might not work too well right now...)
try running sandbox with shaders off (ie, fixed function)

if that doesn't work, I'm at a loss

I'm running under similar conditions (more worse so) and I'm able to play the game just fine. Although, sometimes when booting the game up a second or third time, the game won't come up at all until I reset the computer and try again.

OS: Win XP (cause Vista sucks)
Intel Premium M Proc 1.73ghz
Mobile Intel 915GM/GMS,910GML Express Chipset
Check out this Android game I'm making :D

What version of Sandbox are you running? 2.3 or Dev?

Maybe a stupid question, but does anyone one know what the "machine" specs for Sandbox are? For Windows, Mac and Linux?
