Last chance

Recommended Posts

After sorting out my graphic issues by turning off 3 of the 4 cores on my processor to get OFF running properly i (not happy about that but what the heck). I finally flew my first mission ,i set up a persona in the RFC and set off to escort a 2 seater over Hunland whilst it took some recce photos. Anyway after flying for 40 mins and getting 3/4 of the way WHAM crash to the briefing/debrief screen i sat there stunned for 30 secs . So today is last chance saloon for OFF if it messes up in any way its ebay bound for £15 and i will buy Rise of flight which is the game all my squad mates are flying . I can here their told you so's already. Sorry people but its just one big hassle, one thing after another and for the price i paid and i know my pc specs are up to the task i cant be arsed getting the runaround with it

Stapme,

 

I haven't ran into this sort of problem, but I read through most threads here. This has occurred before, and I believe it has been put down to a heating problem. Try cooling your computer down a bit with an extra fan or something similar. I've heard where someone removes their cover and blows a fan on it for 5 or 10 minutes after a long mission like that one.

 

Please persevere with OFF for a little longer. At least then if you find you don't like it, or your computer can't handle it, then you've at least given it a good go.

 

If you throw it in the bin now, you've wasted your money. Your friends who are flying the other sim will ask you what you think of OFF:BHaH. If you flew it for 40 minutes and gave up, that's not really enough to give a good review.

 

I don't know why you need to turn off 3 of 4 cores, perhaps you need to (at first) lower the graphics sliders. I know, this will make it "look like crap", but you can try it out, see how you like it, then gradually move them up one at a time, and see if you can find out what setting it is that's making your computer run too hot.

 

At least give it a try.

I'm having a similar problem, tbh, which occurs mostly when I'm running OFF in Vista. I find it highly unlikely that this is a heat issue because I've got an air conditioner pointed directly at my case. That and speed fan shows my case temps a little high, but still in the normal range.

 

And this would be the only game EVER to give me heat issues, and with some of the games I run on this PC I find this highly dubious.
