One possible problem would be that it was a 64 bit machine. I tried that, one time, and had to recompile SandBox to get it to run.

*How compile sandbox.
http://www.sandboxgamemaker.com/wiki/in ... ource_code

*If compiling doesn't work try going into my_stuff and deleting "Config_Fps.cfg", "Config_Rpg", and "Init.cfg"

Cheers,

I have Windows 8 64 bit, and I am having the same issue.
Is anyone sure that compiling would work? Might be a good thing if the developers could create a patch, since we always seem to have to keep up with software updates. For example, what would happen if most users have to upgrade to Windows 10 -> 12 -> 100 in order to keep up with other powerful tools. Then such great programs like Platinum Arts Sandbox might have to end for them, unless they got two computers - one for old software, and one for new - if they can afford at that time. I hope compiling is not hard - I'm about to try it. If anyone has tried it, and it failed, let me know quick.

OKayyyyy... This is not working out, and it's giving me a brain storm. I think I might have to consider stepping back to Windows 7.

I'm having this same problem. I recompiled, but it's still occurring. It seems to be a problem with loading the shaders. I got Sandbox to run if I turned the shaders off in the _SandBoxLauncher menu. When I tried to load shaders in-game, the game crashed in the loading screen. I would love to hear a fix for this so I can see shaders in-game.
