by the way, a decent sized level takes hours to compile for testing, anybody know of a way to improve this?

thanks

Split your game into smaller segments of the game. unstead of one huge level take a "level" and divide into 2 pieces and just have loading screens at a good transition point

A decent sized level doesn't take hours to compile unless you've gone crazy with your poly count. Keep your poly count level low. Search the forums, you'll find info on reasonable poly counts for a level.

A big level(multi layers, a lot of them) will take hours to compile yes, if you have full eye candy turned on, since it has to calculate lightmaps and physics, and so on.

can anybody tell me why the game crashes before the compile completes when the levels are large. if the level was ment to be small, why did they make a large workspace?

It's more than enough. I have 2 Gb ram, backed up by a 2Gb ReadyBoost Pen, that helps a lot with loading times and overall X10 performance. But you should have a great performance with your specs. Update drivers, maybe it helps.

everything updated. still wonder why x10 brags about using dual core and quad core processors, but as you can see, it only uses one in my case.

Compiling a game might not take full advantage of multi-core processors, but the game itself should.

Compiling takes Advantage of Dual Core, as it will use 2 cores for the lightmapping. The game itself will also take Advantage of 2 cores, as the AI will be calculated on Core 2, and the game itself on core 1.

look at my pics at the top, is it not calculating the lightmaps on one core only?
