FC big problem

[raf1659]

Hello !

 

I have installed Lockon Gold+patch 1.12b , but after the start of FC I only feel of the jet noises and voices that I presume are in the start screen

 

The cursor remains fixed to hourglass, the cpu it is to 100%, and this is all

 

My PC, even if not recent, run whit CallOfDuty4 and IL-2 1946 well: Win XP sp2+Athlon 2800+1gb ram+Nvidia6600 (drivers 81.98).

 

Someone has a suggestion

 

Thanks

Did you install the correct patch? There are two different ones corresponding to the download version and the disc version.

Yes sir: LO_Flaming_Cliffs_Patch_1.12b_EngCD_Gold.exe

1.12b is the Vista patch, 1.12a is the XP patch. I'm not sure what happens if you use the wrong one, frankly. I'm running 1.12a on my XP machine.

OK folks, new tests: installed new drivers 93.71, disinstalled FC.

 

Installed cd1: LockOn 1.01 , run, no problem here :)

 

Installed cd2: FC over LockOn, non patches, run, only noise, no image :(

Patches 1.12a and 1.12b differ only in StarForce version - 1.12b is compatible with Vista. However, you can install 1.12b on XP with no problems.

 

As for game not starting, try to run in it in a compatibility mode. Go to FC folder, right click lockon.exe and choose tab Compatibility. Check the option "Run in Comp mode" and choose any from the list until you make it run. Try restarting between switching the modes.

A friend of mine with XP+SP2 had to switch this into NT4.0 ! Only that was was working for him.

 

Hope this helps,
