hi all - have been enjoying a true 'first campaign' with woff ue - all was working wonderfully and then all of a sudden last night during a mission with Wallace Picklworth ... the game froze.

Since then, if I try to start a game whether in campaign mode or quick flight or quick combat I get the loading sounds 'contact' then a black screen, no load screen ....

the game seems to close itself -

I have no idea what might have occurred or why when I try and launch a flight it 'black screen's itself out of woff

I opened the woff log and it states something at the end about terminating game prematurely??

Do I email this log (below) in to support ... advise please on what I should do

I was thinking of totally uninstalling all, including cfs3 then doing a 'clean ue install' but honestly I have no idea how to properly clear off cfs3 and the woff bits in my computer ... ahhhhhhhh ! !?

help please and thanks

The 'clean and reinstall' instructions are laid out pretty well in the WOFF FAQ, but why not just try an 'overlay' reinstall over your current install first ... it will rewrite most of the files and so could possibly fix the problem. Easy to try and no harm done.

Have you tried another pilot? ... that might rule out it being corrupted pilot files.

After I posted I tried a few more quick flights ... but same black screen and kick out ...

then I tried to go back to my campaign ... and lo and behold this time it loaded up proper !!!

Pickleworth must have been busy finishing his game of cribbage with the lads - at any rate all working again now - he just returned from his first bombing mission - I now have some questions about that I will post in the general area

thanks scout

regards, Ron

Could also have been an issue with aircraft maybe your install didn't finish. Anyway any issues like this a clean uninstall and reinstall is the best bet following the FAQ section 17.
