I have been working on an orbit sim in processing and want to export it. The game runs perfectly fine from the IDE, but on export it will not run properly. It will open and start, but freeze once images/sprites are displayed. I have made sure that all assets/data are in the export folder, so it is …

I’ve found the issue. Changing the folder name or moving the executable to a different location causes it to be run with integrated graphics. If I go and manually set it to be run with my dedicated graphics card it loads and runs as expected. I wouldn’t have expected such a long loading time on int…

Thanks for the reply, but I think that may be a different problem than what I am having here. As I understand it, the exported application should be independent of Processing (i.e. I can share the exe with those without Processing installed and it should run as expected).

Your problems sounds to me that the sketch do not find it when you start the executable from other locations ? I’ve tested a simple sketch on my side with latest proce…

All the images are loaded in setup(), and the block looks like this: //Load graphics imageMode(CENTER); shapeMode(CENTER); rocketImg = loadImage("rocket.png"); earthImg = loadImage("earth.png"); moonImg = loadImage("moon.png"); skyImg = loadImage("sky.png"); skyImg.resize(1600,900);…

After more testing, it seems that the exported application will work eventually. At first I thought it was completely freezing, but after waiting around 30 seconds or so the game will start. It’s performance is notably worse than if it were in the sketch folder. So all the assets are being loaded, …
