Video issues??

[Raptor22]

Hi, whenever I exit out of my Lock On application, the screen would be total blackness, and just a mouse. The game has already shut down and the CPU has already loaded back to desktop, but it shows a blank screen. I have to CTRL ALT DEL everytime to get back to desktop. Nothing unresponsive though, I believe it may be video issues etc. I have a widescreen 19 inch LCD and a GeForce7950GT w/ 512 mb. Any suggestions?

I get this with my GeforceGo 7300..but Im more inclined to say that LockOn is just hanging because thats what its doing to me. Ctrl Alt Delete works for me. Perhaps its Vista?

For my vid card, I'm using the normal updated drivers from NVIDIA.com... I use Windows XP Professional. Weird thing is, this hasn't happened before I got my new monitor (just today). Odd. Other games don't have this issue too.

Perhaps its Vista?

 

Vista seems to be at the root of many problems lately. Im sticking with XP, for now...Till they do something about this.

 

I wonder how many other games are having difficulties with vista.

haven't seen this myself but just a thought,

are you running your game in the same resolution as the desktop?

if not try setting them the same.

seems strange its only happening with the new monitor, hence my suggestion.

Its not so much of a problem with Vista as a problem with drivers that are compatible with vista. It says on the main page that LO-FC isnt Vista friendly...but hanging (as I just found out today) is a software problem in the application, soooo...

I don't think the game supports the resolution of my monitor... it is widescreen at 1440 X 900. Unless I can get the game to support widescreen, I don't think Lock On will be very friendly to me everytime I exit:doh:

Thats what mine is set at ATM. Im gonna grab some settings from the graphics config file and post em here so you can get the screensize correct.

 

DisplayMode

{

resolution = {1440, 900};

bpp = 32;

fullscreen = 1;

aspect = 1.6;

Interface

{

resolution = {1440, 900};

bpp = 32;

fullscreen = 1;

aspect = 1.6;

}

Simulation

{

resolution = {1440, 900};

bpp = 32;

fullscreen = 1;

aspect = 1.6;

}

AVI

{

resolution = {640, 480};

fullscreen = 0;

aspect = 1.6;

 

from the view.lua

 

-- Camera view angle limits {view angle min, view angle max}.

CameraViewAngleLimits = {}

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iSu_27] = {20.0, 145.0}

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iSu_33] = {20.0, 145.0}

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iSu_25] = {20.0, 145.0}

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iSu_39] = {20.0, 145.0}

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iMiG_29] = {20.0, 145.0}

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iMiG_29K] = {20.0, 145.0}

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iA_10] = {20.0, 145.0}

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iF_15] = {20.0, 145.0}
