Planejunky Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 I'm trying to install SF1E onto my new computer. The installation went smoothly, the hangar screens are all fine etc, but once I hit "fly" and the sim starts, I get this! Can anyone offer any suggestions please? Cheers!

Looks as if your in-game resolution is not matching your monitor's native resolution. Update to the '08 patch level, if you have not done so already, and adjust the resolution to match your desktop.
+Gr.Viper Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 Waaaaaitaminute... Is this machine a laptop with two GPUs?
Planejunky Posted March 4, 2012 Author Posted March 4, 2012 It is a laptop yes, but strangely it's not had any problems running other stuff such as FSX and IL-2. The game screen rez matches the PC rez too.
+Gr.Viper Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 Check the threads at TW tech support forums, maybe search for "laptop" there. A few of the forum members ran into this - it's the video driver screwing up, if memory serves.

Planejunky Posted March 5, 2012 Author Posted March 5, 2012 I'm now having real problems getting signed up the to Thirdwire support forums, when I tried signing up I constantly got this message "one of your responses below was not correct" even though I checked everything was in order and passwords matched. Of course I should've mentioned I have SF2E, NOT SF1E, clearly a senior moment!
+Gr.Viper Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Found the original bug thread http://bbs.thirdwire.com/phpBB3w/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=8539
Planejunky Posted March 5, 2012 Author Posted March 5, 2012 Found the original bug thread http://bbs.thirdwire.com/phpBB3w/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=8539 Mr Viper you are a star, thank you for that! I'll try looking through my settings later on and see if any of those issues match up.
Planejunky Posted March 5, 2012 Author Posted March 5, 2012 Do you know if there's a newer cat extraction file please? The only one I have is sfp1e_10.
+MigBuster Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 If you are on a recent SF2 patch you need to download it from Thirdwires site
Planejunky Posted March 5, 2012 Author Posted March 5, 2012 Ok, I've now patched right up to Nov 11 and guess what? Yep it seems to have resolved the problem by itself, well so far anyway!
