I'm reinstalling Falcon4.0 A/F and getting CTD when trying to run under 1.0.13.

I have followed the these steps:

Uninstalled AF 1.0.13 using the file on the original Falcon 4.0 CD.

Trashed the Lead Pursuit Folder in the Programs Folder

Reinstalled Falcon4.0 A/F using the original CD (it loads and plays just fine)

Reinstalled 1.0.13 from the downloaded zip

As soon as I try and run 1.0.13 I get this:



If I click "Quit" or "X" it crashed to Desktop with no error message

If click "Check for Update" I get this:



Any help would be appreciated

You PC specs are very similar to my PC and I have F4AF running. I suggest the following:

http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=2345555 I know you are not getting that far but it may help.

Second thing, create a new shortcut of your .exe and paste on desktop. Add -nomovie on the commandline of the shortcut. I'm not at my Gaming rig at the moment, but it would look something like:
C:\Program Files\Lead Pursuit\F4AF.exe -nomovie NOTE: there is a space after exe and before the -
or
"C:\Program Files\Lead Pursuit\F4AF.exe" -no movie I can't recall if there are any " in the shortcut commandline.

Also you will want to do the following:

Here is what you do....

If you use 18x.xx or later drivers like 185.85 (what i´m doing on an evga gtx260core216 card)
and you want to enjoy the brilliance of AA ingame BUT also avoid the BuGS in your
Userinterface (Recon, Paylaod-screen etc etc)

then there is one smart workaround:

1st:
In nVidia control panel FORCE ( override ) Anti-Aliasing settings ..( i have it on 8Qx)
....DONT use Enhanced

2nd:
then create a file with name BFops.cfg in your main folder [ X:\Lead Pursuit\Battlefield Operations ]
(if you haven´t done already for other settings) and add the line

set g_bForceSoftwareGUI 1
and save it.

So what happens now, your UI will run "free" from driver compatibility-conflicts, and at some points here and there even faster........

I tested it and it works like a sharm. Full 8Qx AA brilliance infight and NO anomalies or fuglly bugz in User-Interface anymore...


The above may have been fixed with the latest nVidia drivers, but I haven't removed the line in my BFops.cfg to test it.

Thanks for that Panther. Yes I have a new Desktop icon.

As for the -no movie, its UPDATE access I need to get at, so I can make it "Never" because that what its asking do check when booting up AF.
I might try: "C:\Program Files\Lead Pursuit\F4AF.exe -no update" and see how that works.
However I am assuming its that request which is the problem. It might just be opening 1.0.13 and nothing to do with the request to update.

Thanks again
