Hi there

I am considering buying WOFF but before I do I am trying to get OFF running first.

I am running Windows 8.1 and cannot get OFF running without crashing CFS3. I install CFS3 and patch to 3.1a and this runs perfectly without any problems.

I then install OFF and patches Super and Mini f and g. I have everything set to Administrator permissions even when installing and all my firewalls are turned off.

I have also tried OFF with all compatability modes

I run OFF and after a few seconds CFS3 crashes leaving the OFF menu screen. The error event logs are as follows.

Have you configured OFF by running cfs3config.exe in OFF root folder?

If the answer is yes, try running OFF using OFFManager.exe instead of cfs3.exe.

Hi There

Thanks for your reply. Yes I have run config with administrator rights everywhere that it exists.

Strange Event Log. Seems to be a "service" related issue. Is your GPU nVidia? If so, is PhysX enabled?

W8 handles API, hardware layers differently than W7. I run W7_x64 Ult and will do so until a full proper service patch is made for W8. It 'seems" that GPU drivers are very finicky regarding W8.

In any event, since CFS3.1a is running without any problems, you should not be having any issues running OFF. Most people don't install CFS3 properly and end up borking both CFS3 and OFF. I'd suggest the following:

1) Uninstall OFF;

2) Then go to Users/ "Owner" or in your case "woodmj" and under Documents delete the CFSWW1 Over Flanders Fields folder;

3} Go to Users/woodmj/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft/ and delete the CFSW1 Over Flanders Fields folder.

Reboot.

1) Re-install OFF, do not patch at this time;

2) Run CFS3config.exe to do initial config and then exit CFS3config. Don't make any changes to the CFS3config file at this time;

3) Run OFF from CFS3.exe. in OFF root folder;

4) When OFF starts, you should shortly be presented with a Successful Config box to check off;

5) If OFF starts properly, enlist and activate a pilot and then go to Quick Combat and do a short Free Flight;

6) Exit OFF and close program;

7) Install both patches and run OFF.

If you don't encounter any problems, go back into CFS3config and make all the changes you want.

I'll be circling.

Hi Plug

have done all that you suggested and OFF is now up and running. As you said I don't think that I installed CFS3 or OFF correctly.

Will now go for WOFF.

Thanks all for your help.

Glad to see you got her "OFF" the ground and into the air.
