Kingmaker -> Can not get FoF to play (12/27/2007 10:36:39 PM)
|
HiHi
Just downloaded FoF, about 4 hrs ago; have tried tracking down my prob in the posts on here but either I'm missing something or repeated listening to that (now) bloody theme tune has dulled my sences.
Prob; when I click 'Play' on the menue screen the video welcome comes up, since taking a tip from on here (my brand new puter is on vista) and altered the compatibility to XP service pk2, and I now get the Binary numbers & Matrix animated Logo, the screen then flashes to the game menu, imediately followed by the developers logo, then flash to game menu, and then the FoF title with all the animated flames etc and the theme tune which desolves into the 'Quote' and then to the pictures, prob being thats all it does just keeps going on & on & and on, hence the 'now bloody theme tune, "A man can only stand so much you know!".
Oh 1 other thing I noted was the full screen runs of the edge of my monitor (21" CRT Res set to game requirements of 1024 x 768) the orange border dissapears of the edge.
Things I've tried apart from Compatibility to XP.
Rt clicking on screen, noted it automatically shows 'Loop', so reset to 'Play'.
Zoomed in & out to see if I could pick up any tabs.
Waiting (noted the 5-6 min load prob someone had), gave it 15 min.
Close game, and restart, have to use Ctl,Alt, Del to get out, then when trying to close through Win tasks thing, Windows finds FoF not responding and has to go find the problem with close down
Saw, but didn't understand the Flash/shockwave stuff, checked found I have 'Adobe Reader 8', (not the same I know) but as the video stuff seems to be playing OK on the XP setting do I really need anything else????
Yes I have the latest drivers, it's a week old puter and have visited all the sites to make sure everything is upto-date.
Relivent Puter specs.
IntelCore 2 duo @ 2.67 Ghz
4 Gig DDR2 CL5 RAM
Creative SB X-FI Xtreme Audio card
Gainward GeForce 8600GST 512MB GDDR3
500 Gig WD Hardrive.
DirectX 10 installed.
Everything seems to have loaded OK ( I switched of Norton Internet security 2008 during download) I can read the manuals, run the Macroflash basic tutorial etc, I am rareing to go and prove that the Rebs could win (well in my little world anyhow) but can't get started, HEEEELP!!! ... please.
Cheers [&o]
