TSgtT 15 Posted July 25, 2011 (edited) Hi, need a little help with FE1. Installed it the other day and can't get it to go 60% when trying to fly a single mission. The sim gets stuck and doesn't go past 60%. Would appreciate any advice on how to procede. Thanks, T. Edited July 25, 2011 by TSgtT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Otherwise just leave it for a while. If I have my graphic setting up high then it will "stick" at 60 then 80 percent before eventually loading. Hope this is your problem and it helps.

+quack74 329 Posted July 25, 2011 I try to have all my settings to Unlimited or High. When I use the stock terrains Cambrai and Verdun it sticks around 60% for a minute or two before jumping to 80% for about 5-10 more seconds. But it never freezes completely. Like VFC_Baxter said reduce your graphic settings and see what happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
33LIMA 972 Posted July 25, 2011 Not at all certain this could help, but you said you installed it recently; when doing so, did you set the Setup file's 'compatibility' tab main option to Windows XP SP2, and then right click again on the setup file and select 'Run as administrator'? If you're running Vista or Win 7, anyway. Don't think I recall ever getting the 60% problem but I have generally found that installing that way can prevent probs with pre-Vista programs like FE(1).

I have an older computer and when I try to run FE1 at "Unlimited" graphics setting it hangs at 80% and never goes beyond that (I've waited for as long as 15 minutes before rebooting the computer). When I run at "High" it hangs for a long time at 80% but eventually finishes, and then runs slow when there are shadows on the plane, but runs fine when I back off a bit. I usually run the game in "Medium". Stephen1918 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
