Need Help Starting OFF-BT&H

[DanF 0]

Just installing OFF-BT&H and ,though the installation seemed to go smoothly, I am having problem with starting up the game.

 

I insert CFS3 disk # 2,double-click on the OFF desktop icon,and the loading process seems to proceed normally. I can enlist my pilot with no problem,and I can choose a Mission. However, the problem starts when I click on "Go To Field". The loading process seems to proceed normally until I get to the point where the computer voice says "Contact". Then I get a Windows dialogue box that says the program has stopped running because another instance of CFS3 is running . At this point all I can do is Control-Alt -Delete to get back to the desktop.

 

What am I doing wrong?

Couple of things to check m8...firstly..did you patch cfs3 to 1.3?

Did you install all the updates for OFF?

 

If you answered yes to these...have a look in the help section of the OFF forum...but I'm sure some other guys will jump on soon to help as well

Hi Dan,

 

Check out the FAQ for install and first configuring of OFF, sounds like you need to run the graphics Config from Workshop menu.

 

Check http://www.overflandersfields.com/FAQ.htm#Installation_and_settings to make sure you installed the right patches and then

 

See under section there;

 

1.1b)

 

CONFIGURING OFF:

 

It could be the graphic settings sliders have not been configured or are too high.

 

Try that if you still have problems contact support with your order number.
