Just a summary page and an update of MapEditor issues. I am using GameGuru (GG build 1.12 with a standard Steam installation) on a desktop Windows 10 Pro (OS Build 10586.104 on an Intel i5 3.4 GHz, 16 GB memory and x64) system with a NVidia GeForce GTX 760 2048 MB GDDR5 graphics card (resolution 1920 X 1080). I have the latest drivers. GG has been set to run as administrator for GameGuru.exe, Guru-Mapeditor.exe, and Guru-lightmapper.exe.
Most times when I press ESC to leave the Test Game mode I am returned to a black MapEditor screen with little or no functionality. This occurs if I create simple levels or try to edit the included games. I can only exit the MapEditor through Task Manager. The editor will automatically restart and reload the last level.
Additional details on the MapEditor black screen issue: If I run the test game and actually test some of the game features such as moving around, when I press ESC, the MapEditor will always have a black screen. If I run the test game and only use the tab key functions, then it will ESC out properly about two times and then on the third try, the MapEditor will have a black screen. The only way to exit out is through the task manager using the end process button to stop the MapEditor. GG will automatically reload the last level, but many of the GG menus no longer work, so I must exit from GG using the File Tab menu on GG.
I have verified with Steam, the setup.ini did not include any information on the graphics card, but changed the setup.ini for vsync=1, but no change to the problem. I have performed a complete install of Steam and GG after completely uninstalling them with no change to the problem. I have ensured that GG and Steam have proper permissions in Norton antivirus and have also stopped Norton. Neither helped or changed the issue. I have also disabled most applications running in the background or stopped the processes completely. Nothing changed the problem. Rarely if I minimize GG without even loading any levels, it will lose focus, so I must stop it through task manager and then exit from it, but this is rare. Finally, I have noticed that GG can lose focus if I am downloading purchased store items if they are large and I must exit it and then restart to have full functionality.
I submitted a request for assistance from the developers on 3/16, but have not heard from them yet. Any additional ideas for potential solutions are most welcome as the laptop is too slow to really do any game development.
