Hey! I know the Raptor Editor works, but I've been having this weird bug on my PC. The .exe runs fine except the background is black and the mouse starts dragging lines everywhere. I can still interact with everything on the screen and hear the music, but can't see anything. I'm just curious to know from any PC wizards out there if it's just a graphics or a processing thing?
I've troubleshooted it 3 times, run as admin, lowered graphics, and lowered resolution. Nada. No high hopes, cuz it is just a Surface Pro, after all. Haha! Just figured I'd throw it out here since I've never run into this situation before and would like to know the cause in case it ever happens again. Any ideas or tips on a possible fix would be a bonus!! Thanks!

System:      Surface Pro
                    Windows 8
                    64-bit OS
                  Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4300U CPU @ 1.90GHz 2.50 GHz
                  4.00 GB RAM

I even double checked any that were for imaging/display and processing.

Hmm. I assume you've selected the 64-bit option? If so, try redownloading the Raptor Editor and see if the issue persists. Something may have gone wrong during installation.

Just to double check, has this occured while playing any other game? Because Surface Pros (to my knowledge) have integrated cards, which aren't exactly built for gaming, and your specs may not be up to par.

Also, do you use Direct3D9? There could be some incompatability if you use OpenGL, and you may have to switch.

Hope this helps!

Yes, I used the 64-bit option and I have redownloaded the editor a couple of times, still with no change. And, the only other game I play on it is Endless Forest with no issues.
As far as which API I use, I am unsure, most likely something like OpenGL.
Think I agree with your assumption about it being the lower performance of an integrated card, which can't be fixed. Oh well...

Thanks for the replies though! Good to know the limitations of my pc! Haha! I'll have to redownload it on my gaming pc so that I can actually start playing around with it later. Have a great day! (:
