i made a game at school but when i hit export it looked like it was doing something but nothing happened
i took it home and tried but that didn't help
can anyone help

Hmm, that is weird. Make sure you know where you're output destination
Folder for your game is. And I would try to export in different export types
Just to see if .EXE isn't working or if all of exports arent(.DAT, .GED, ETC.)

I've had the same problem with big games.
Ge just froze, but didn't export. And if it did export the executable didn't work.

However, it seems that the bug has been fixed, because when I updated my Ge, I was
able to export normally.

So, try to download and install Ge again.

By the new gE do you mean the 1.5 version? If so you can't export with it, as it is missing its bin directory.

hmm... this is strange, you may have to modify it a bit to work

Well, you came across a very peculiar problem. In the exported versions, your view actor doesn't exist (it was never created). Despite this, the game can continue more or less. This was partially caused by a bug, I'll take it up with akr. But, you set the view to not be created on startup. This doesn't do anything in game mode, but when you go to export the game, the exported version never creates the view actor.

One protection from this (that doesn't seem to work) is that you aren't supposed to be able to parent actors to any actor that has its create at startup disabled. For some reason you were allowed to with the view... Anyway, set the view to create at startup and your problem is fixed.

that was weird i don't remember setting the view to not create on startup works fine now though
thanks +1
