ChudStuddley Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Whenever I use the evaluation leadwerks or play a demo for a game called Sphere Game I can make stuff/play for a few minutes then my screen goes black and it says my nvidia driver has stopped responding but has recovered. This never happened with the older leadwerks so I am just wondering if it is a compatibility issue with my graphics card, I use a NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450. Thanks for reading this.

cassius Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Have you tried updating graphics drivers? Quote amd quad core 4 ghz / geforce 660 ti 2gb / win 10 Blender,gimp,silo2,ac3d,,audacity,Hexagon / using c++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChudStuddley Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 Have you tried updating graphics drivers? Yes but it seems to only be a problem with Leadwerks, It works fine with every other engine I've used. (Chrome Engine 4, UDK, Source SDK etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 It's possible if vsync is disabled in the program it could be overheating your card, but that should never happen because they are supposed to slow down before they start overheating. Updating the drivers is the first thing I would do: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without.

Updating the drivers is the first thing I would do: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us I have every single feature on (My graphics card can definitely handle it) and I am going to update my drivers again (Already did it before, Just tryin' again =/ ) I'll update later if anything helps. Update: Now it decided to work. Thanks Josh and cassius, I'll look into buying this engine sometime soon =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I'm glad that worked for you. I've asked NVidia in the past to build some kind of simple web interface to let a program detect the latest available driver for any GPU. I think it would make things easier for everyone.

Since you are here I might as well ask instead of making a thread, Does Leadwerks have DirectX11 Support? =P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixel Perfect Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Leadwerks uses OpenGL so no, I doesn't support DirectX11. btw, I had the exact same issue with a previous driver!

Mumbles Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 It does? :S I had no idea. Yeah, Direct X's dominance was short lived. Microsoft got too cocky by insisting that that you had to leave XP behind if you wanted DX 10 or newer. I believe the current Leadwerks engine uses Open GL 3.3 for its graphics. LE 3 should be coming with an Open GL 4 renderer on supported hardware which should easily match DX 11 ... whilst also being able to run on Linux and a Mac...

Josh Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Leadwerks 3 (the version I am working on now) supports OpenGL 4, which has hardware tessellation. It's the equivalent to DX11.

It was the nVidea 260.99 64 bit driver. First noticed it when trying Aggror's MAGIAM game entry but it would occur on other Leadwerks apps too.

Canardia Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Ah that's great, Will the price be a lot higher than the current price for LE3? Only if you don't buy LE2 before buying LE3.

Road Kill Kenny Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Only if you don't buy LE2 before buying LE3. Yeh. It will be cheaper to get LE2 and upgrade to LE3 than to get LE3 straight off the bat Quote STS - Scarlet Thread Studios AKA: Engineer Ken Fact: Game Development is hard... very bloody hard..
