Hi,

i'am evaluating GS7 and was testing the physics engine today.
I tried the sample from the A7 guide. But after arbitrary time (seconds to minutes) the physic engine freezes (not the game engine).
Here is the code:

Code:
///////////////////////////////
#define PRAGMA_PATH "%EXE_DIR%\templates\images";
#define PRAGMA_PATH "%EXE_DIR%\templates\models";
#define PRAGMA_PATH "%EXE_DIR%\templates\sounds";

#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>
#include "mtlFX.c"

///////////////////////////////
VECTOR ball_speed;
ENTITY *ball;

function main()
{
	video_mode = 9;
	level_load("test11.WMB");
	wait(2);
	
	ball = ent_create("ball.mdl", vector(-128, 0, 16), NULL);
	ph_setgravity(vector(0,0, -386));
	phent_settype(ball, PH_RIGID, PH_SPHERE);
	phent_setmass(ball, 3, PH_SPHERE);
	phent_setfriction(ball, 80);
	phent_setdamping(ball, 40, 40);
	phent_setelasticity(ball, 50, 20);
	
	camera.z = 200;
	camera.tilt = -20;
	camera.pan = 0;
	while(1) {
		ball_speed.x = 130 * (key_d - key_a) * time_step;
		ball_speed.y = 130 * (key_w - key_s) * time_step;
		ball_speed.z = 0;
		phent_addtorqueglobal(ball, ball_speed);
		camera.x = ball.x - 300;
		camera.y = ball.y;
		wait(1);
	}	
}


The level consists of a big plate and a few blocks as ramps for the rolling and jumping ball.
I have tried to use a bigger nexus (100 MB) and i have tried to set fps_max to 30 also. But neither did help.

Would appreciate any help. I have tried this with Windows 7 + ATI Mobile 5870 (Asus G73 notebook, i7 720M, 8 GB) and Vista with ATI 5950 (desktop, Intel E6600, 4 GB).
