DX9 up -to date doh :(

I think so, but I will check.

Nope, still the same. I just don't get it; every other game I got is OK...?

Thanks, I'll try that. I've also checked my DirectX 9c and components are up to date; the online updater did add something to my DirectX. Also, as I remember, the FE installer did also add a little to directX, even on the reinstall... a bit strange, as I thought directX install were one-way, no going back types?

That's proper hardcore. What would they do for, ahem, 'toilet facilities'? Leg bags & comodes / could be naasty.

Tried graphic settings - still prob., even at lowest settings. Rollback to Nvidia 186.xxx - still same. Noticed ONLY happens if attempt campaign missions ( vanilla ones with the game release, not addons) but not ever with single-mission flights. 'Feels' to me like the game can't quit the 3D and load up the campaign result or something...?

Thanks chaps; going to try low settings- work up, first; then if still got freeze/crash thing then roll-back Nvidia to 180.xxx!

Hi, thanks for reply..did originally put various mods on, got the freeze/crash, uninstalled everything, reinstalled just vanilla game + expansion pack + nov08 update...kaboom! Same problem. Doh! All Nvidia drivers, XP SP3, everything up to date etc. A real bummer as I love all things WW1 airborne, and this game most of all! ( Ahead of OFF, RoF, and others.) Going to try different graphical settings; at moment everything at max; I hate to compromise when my PC can handle it though :(

Hi fly-peeps; I get a little problem in FE at the end of a campaign mission; when I hit 'esc', about one time in three the game just goes to a black screen, and is unreponsive to most inputs. ( Mouse - clicks no good, only response is to 'enter' - which gives crash-to-desktop). Tried re-install, just vanilla game with no addons, still occurs. XP, Nvidia 9800, Athlon FX60, 2gig ram, saitek FFevo. Anyone seen / know this? Tried looking for earlier posts, not found any ( maybe I need to search better %]. To say it's frustrating when you've just scraped back from an epic mission, downed several EA, got more holes in than windows95, then get dumped out and the game hasn't saved it....AAARGH!

Mmmm. Nice. How about some Chinook action? Or that marathon Vulcan mission, that did practically nothing? Noob question: what engine this sim built on? 3wire, homemade, CFS? Look forward to it - first I've heard of this - note to self - look in forums more often ;)

Just to fill out the picture, I got the warp-wobblies last night ( Tripe 2 guns ) once out of the 5 times I used it in a mission. I don't use trim; I came out of warp going UPWARDS in excess of 400mph ( speedo was maxed out), altimeter going clockwise real fast, blue sky forwards; chopped throttle, max rudder side-to side, & then I was OK. Was about 3000 ft higher up than my patrol! Can live with it; kinda fun!

Many thanks for the reply Mr P; I'll take a look at the link & see if I can do anything...or not :( Sorry if I always quote someone in my replies; I've not quite settled in to the new forum style yet...
