Red Viper, Vista and Black Screen

Recommended Posts

:blink:

 

Anyone have a fix? I'm pulling my hair out, and I can't afford that. One mission will run fine, but any mission after that without re-loading the entire program results in blank screen, with the sim running behind it.

I have tried everything from resolution settings to NV driver settings, to installing older drivers, which don't go back very far for Vista, to setting compatibility for XP, Win98, etc....I had it running good once, but F'd it up somehow, so there HAS to be a fix.

 

Vista

3.4 Dual

NV8800GTX

My klite video codec pack messes up Falcon4: AF where it black screens. You have to disable a ffdshow codec for it to work. Just google for the answer about klite and falcon 4. You don't have to have that particular codec pack. Its a problem with ffdshow.

I see you are one of the unfortunate vista owners, ok heres the fix, uninstall vista, get a stable OS and then try it again. :good:

I think like everyone you will need to make some changes to your codec pack.

Yep its Free Falcon 4 - Plenty of people play it over AF but dont expect it to be fully stable - Cant vouch for online gaming either so you may want to check frugals etc.
