OF Not Booting At All

Recommended Posts

Hey all

AMD Fx-53

ASUS AV8 Mobo

Geforce 6800 Ultra (66.93 WHQL -signed drivers)

2gb DDR RAM

Onboard sound

I returned to OF after a long absence to find that the game on booting displays the oblong OF logo then drops back to the desktop.

No error messages, nothing, task manager shows no OF exe's running, just seems to disappear on me......

Any advice?

Thanks in advance

have you tried to add -nomap -nosplash to your OFP shortcut ?

And signed drivers do not mean OFP friendly drivers , as often some nvidia drivers can be a real problem

And try to run flashpointpreferences again and see if that helps.

Stick them on the end of the target in properties from the shortcut. Make sure you have a space before the "-" or it won't work (at least not for me when I tried it to see what happende).

EDIT: EG

"C:\Program Files\Codemasters\OperationFlashpoint\FLASHPOINTBETA.EXE" -nosplash -mod=wgl -mod=llaumax -nosplash -nomap

Also make sure you have 1.96 installed, then try the full 1.96 BETA, it makes it so you don't need the CD to play. Also some mods NEED you to run the beta exe in order for it to work. (I think that's FDF yes? Can't remember, might have been ECP thinking about it).

Talking about GC drivers...

I have GeForce Fx5600, 256MB. I was getting about 10< fps, with DxDll running. Switched from latest, or atleast pretty new, to drivers I downloaded 5 moths ago. Few fps more, can view cutscenes with DxDll.
