Big Problem....

[manster]

Just installed flaming cliffs and the 1.12a patch, when I enter the main screen and push one of the side buttons (FBP, mission editor, trng etc) the screen freezes, then I get a question from Norton antivirus if I want to allow lockon to acces some dns server. I give lockon permission and the nothing happens, the game is kept frozen...........any ideas to what to do?

 

Thanks

you need to allow the changed version of the app trough your firewall.

 

the reason its freezing, is because your firewall is blocking it from "calling home"

Go into Norton manually and see if LOMAC/FC actually has permission. I have a feeling that you'll it doesn't. Even if it does, provide the permission manually. From then on you should be okay.

Thanks guys! the lock on community is really more helpful then most other game communities.....but by the way, why is it trying to "call home"?

thanks

Probably a starforce check.

It determens if there is any top secret data on your computer about any aircraft, weapons etc, and sends that. If there isn't any, it just sends your porn links.

It a DirectX function call, Checking for network availability. It triggers the Firewall, but is not accessing the network, only checking if there is a network.

 

All version of lomac do this, starforce or not
