I has been making a game on mmf. After test mmf2 i decided to try changing it. So i gave my mmf application to a friend who owns mmf2 and he built the stand alone application. After he send me it the game freezes after the character moves. I don't know if it is caused by the new computer i have or anything else. He did even install his mmf2 application on my computer and it did not work. The fact is that no mmf2 application work, but mmf ones do. can anyone solve this?
What build of MMF2 did he use to build the stand-alone application? The latest build is #242 (a beta version of the build #243 is also available in the forum).

He used 242.
It could be a sound or graphic driver issue. Have you tried to install the latest drivers for your machine?
You say "no mmf2 application work", have you tried several ones even a blank application?

Only when the character moves? What movement are you using?
I am using a custom made movement. I thought it could be a background box issue, but we checked it without bg boxes. When for example, the character jumps, game works like 1 frame each 5-10 seconds, then, when it do stop it works fine again. Also, in one level after a long time waiting it begn to play at a slow speed, but after a few seconds itdid stop again.
I cant test a blank application because it only freezes when character is moving.
It is a big trouble because if there are people who won't be able to play my game made on mmf2, i won't continue the project in the new version and i will be sticky to mmf1.5. I really would prefer to buy mmf2 because of the new features but i wont do if this is not fixed.
My gfx card is a Nvidia geForce 6600 driver version 8.4.2.1
That's odd, if the problem was with the movements or animations, the application should freeze on any machine.
Do you play sounds when the characters is moving? Because we have fixed a crash that occurs only on fast machines (partial fix in the beta version of the build 243, fully fixed in the next release of this build).
I suggest that you wait for your friend to install the next version of the build 243 and retry. If that doesn't fix the problem, could you send me your application?

It do play a sound sometimes. And i use picture box for character animations. But game stops even if no sample is playing. some times it looks like there is a scrolling problem.
I did found what was the problem. It seems its related to active picture object. The game freezes when it tries to load a frame (i think it do happen when a frame was not loaded before, because after a few freeze/unfreeze it takes more time to freeze again). I changed the name of the sprite folder (making the game to dont load files) and game played at normal speed.
Could you send me this application? (.MFA and external image files)
