JayTizzler Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Hello, all. I'm new to all this game development stuff, and am looking into making a simple-ish game over the summer. I downloaded the evaluation version of LE and its looking really cool. However, when I try and use the "Paint" function the whole editor freezes and goes "Not responding" for about 20 seconds then comes back. I was hoping this is just me over looking something or its something fix-able? Thanks. P.S. I'm really impressed with the quality of the stuff on this forum.

Canardia Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 You could upgrade your graphics driver and/or buy a faster graphics card.

JayTizzler Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 So do you think its my hardware not being powerful enough? I have a nVidia 7900 GS graphics card? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canardia Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 If Editor else runs with decent FPS, like over 30 FPS, then it might be just some graphics card driver bug with terrain painting. So make sure you have the newest driver version.

JayTizzler Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 Yeah, cheers for the advice it runs at about 75FPS so I'll sort out my drivers, I thought that they were up to date. Thanks a lot for the quick reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 The evaluation version might still be painting terrain on the CPU. It changed a while back to use the GPU, so it's super fast now. New evaluation kit will be released within a month. Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.

Pixel Perfect Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Well it was the change to GPU from CPU that killed me being able to use my 7900. I had exactly the issues Jay is refering to (mine would go away for minutes) and was forced to upgrade my card as drivers never sorted it! The rest of the engine ran fine, it was just in the terrain editor when painting.

JayTizzler Posted May 23, 2011 Author Share Posted May 23, 2011 Installed drivers, no luck. I'll wait for that new evaluation kit, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
