Windows 7?

Post by Ztgreve »

Hi.

I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit and Sandbox runs very slowly. I had just started it, and the cursor did not move for about 3 minutes. After it started moving, it was very hard to get it over anything in particular, it just froze. I finally had to terminate the application using Task Manager.

I am using Sandbox 2.5.

I do have Code::Blocks on my computer. Is there anything I need to compile first?

If your using the SVN verison you compile the file located in src > windows and the code blocks file should be in there. Many things could cause low fps, I recommend updating your graphics card drivers.

IDK if this will help, but go into the options and turn off the shaders. I don't have a graphics card, but have windows 7 64 bit, and that's what i use.

Download the SVN and that will fix it... Check the WIKI under Obtaining the SVN.
