Hello everybody i have a problem encountered after directx 9.0c installation.

I have Strike Fighters Gold and everything was fine until i had the bad idea to install directx 9.0c nov-2007 on my pc.

The game is fine, it works well until i press the "esc" or "alt+q" or "shift+esc" keys to end the mission. At this moment the game quits without any message.

Inside the game everything is fine, no graphics-audio or other problems, but in this way debriefing it's impossible so no campaign is playable.

Please can you help me finding the solution? I was really enjoying the game with all the add-on aircrafts that i never found in other flight sims!!!

 

Sorry for my english, i really don't understand what happened!

My graphic board is ati mobility radeon x700 with 128 mb ram

thanks in advance

Hi Cippao,

What might be wrong is that you may not have enough RAM for the game to operate smoothly. Granted, the manual

recommends a spec of 128mb RAM but I've found that that usually means a minimum of that amount.

What I'd also recommend, and what you should do immediately is change all the gameplay settings to 'minimum'.

I operate a laptop, which in most cases is nowhere as powerful or flexible as a desktop pc. I found that by changing

the gameplay settings to a 'normal' setting helped in a big way. Granted, the graphics wouldn't be as detailed, but

they would still be good enough for me to enjoy the game.

Hope this works for you

Hi Ultramax thank for your answer

I already tried what you say but nothing changes, the game runs perfectly even with the highest graphic settings the problem is when i end the mission... and the problem is present only by the time i installed direct 9.0c nov 2007, i even tried to install 3dwire service packs with the only result that the game does'nt start for a problem with directdraw.dll!

I installed the game by 0 for at least 5 times but result is always the same, i don't know what to tkink...

anyway thanks the same for your help
