MAICO 1 Posted February 13, 2009 Having a strange problem lately. I have been a TK fan for years and I buy everything the man makes. Lately I have built a new PC and I put IL2 and LOMAC on. They run fine as does Black Shark, TvsT and Silent Hunter IV. I am now trying to get back to FE. I tried to install FE on my machine and it would not run. I then bought FE Gold and I still have the same problem. So i then tried to install WOI and now I realize I really have a problem. When i install any of TK's games, I get a black screen and I cant see the game. I hear the music in the background but cant play the game. I have done several installs, reboots ect. I am really at a loss and would be really greatfull for any help. I run WinXP Pro with the latest updates including the latest Direct X 9c. My PC is a 3Gig Dual Proc with 2 8800 Ultra. I have 4 gigs of DDR3. I had run FE,WOI and WOV before. I dont get why now it does not run. Any help or advice would be apreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+peter01 2 Posted February 15, 2009 (edited) No reply Maico, maybe no-one here really knows. You should post on Thirdwires site http://bbs.thirdwire.com/phpBB/index.php on Technical Support Forum Edited February 15, 2009 by peter01 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ONETINSOLDIER 2 Posted February 15, 2009 ya know, this is just a gut feeling, but I would look into the posibilities of the dual processors being the culprit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Gunrunner 314 Posted February 15, 2009 You mean dual graphic cards, right ? It is unlikely that TW games have a specific path in nVidia's drivers, so you might have to choose one that's actually compatible with the games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MAICO 1 Posted February 18, 2009 I cant play FE or WoV. I am sure the rest of TK's games will not play either. This is not good. My Proc is a Intel Core 2 Duo 8600 3.33 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Tailspin 3 Posted February 18, 2009 The prime suspect is still probably the SLI set up. Have you tried just using one vid card? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
