Is T3Ed unstable for you?

GlasWolf on 9/3/2006 at 22:08

Prompted by STiFU and I's discussion in the FM forum (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=104540) here, I'm curious to know how many people suffer crashes and general instability when using T3Ed. If you've suffered in the past and have discovered a fix (or upgraded past the problem) then please post. Maybe this might help some people or yield enough info for a wiki article.

System specs would be useful as well to see if any patterns emerge.

I voted the second one, but really I was just erring on the side of caution. My specs:
AMD Athlon64 3400+
1GB RAM
MSI K8N Neo Platinum
PNY GeForce 6800GT - Forceware 81.85 drivers
Creative Audigy 2
WinXP SP2
Kerio Firewall and AVG AntiVirus

My problems usually stem from corrupted exe files :p In fact I was realigning textures but t3ed kept freezing up & I killed it with the task manager. My whole system would freeze after I did that. No problems after replacing the exe files.

* firewire 400 card, usb2
* PNY GeForce 6200 - 64 bit memory :tsktsk: 256 megs ram, agp (Z-Tweaked v8412b forceware drivers) overclocked to 400 MHz (core clock frequency), 625 MHz (memory clock)

My editor rarely crashes without my knowing why, and I'm ignoring those circumstances in relation to this poll. My response is based on those times when it crashes for no apparent reason. These are usually preceeded by bad slow-downs followed by freezing. Rebooting or shutting the program down with Task Manager and restarting seems to be all it takes to fix it.

I can work for hours in TE3 and nothing happens. Sometimes I have both 3dsmax and T3 opened and still system looks stable. Btw, none of these components is overclocked, maybe that's why..

That is exactly what always happens at my install too. So you replaced some exe files and everything was fine? I would like to have some more information about that.

Don't worry! I'll be upgrading soon, when Oblivion is out, probably! :)

* Athlon XP 1900+
* ECS K7S5A
* Audigy 2 ZX
* Sapphire Radeon 9600 (256mb)
* 768mb RAM
* 180 GB hard drive (of which only 127 GB is detectable because my motherboard is stupid)

I occasionally encounter the ATI crash bug when I forget to pay attention to what renderer I'm using, and using the editor for too long (a few hours, usually) tends to slow things down tremendously. Closing the editor and then restarting it generally fixes that. The editor does occasionally crash without me knowing why, but it's rare enough that it isn't much of a problem for me.

Turning my graphics card setting right down makes T3ed pretty stable for me. Crashes when subtracting brushes in complex maps (so I just use duplicate and vertex editing instead, which is quicker anyway), and occasionly after using the schema editor for a long time.

Pretty good here. Obviously it crashes, but over time T3ed has trained me to avoid doing crash inducing things. Also I can now sit and fetch.

Err, Computer - a bit like Rentako, but with nVidia sound thingy. (And a slightly faster chip thingy - Mwahahahaaa.)

T3Ed crashes sometimes and I have no idea why... It has crashed in many different ways. And also framerate is 5 times smaller than in normal game. In normal game it works fine with 1600x1200 all settings full except multisampling, but in editor it must be 800x600 or smaller... :tsktsk:

I haven't really had many crashes, I have had the occasional one during building and the occasional graphics card crash (although that can happen at any time in any program :( ).

* AMD Athlon XP 2800+
* 1GB ram
* Saphire ATI Radeon 9600
* 200 GB hard drive
* Win 2K SP4

My only problem with T3Ed is that I keep getting holes in my floors, hedges, walls, etc!!!
