Please ED contact Microsoft, Vista and Lockon FC have to much issues. As developer you have more input to provide a fix.

Happen during a multiplayer session on the Panthers servers.

 

Thanks

Make sure you are patched to 1.12b and try running it in compatibility mode for Windows XP

[TheMoose]

Done and done, the installation is not the problem I assure you. It's the OS

[Yeniceri]

This sucks!

[Highwayman-Ed]

I get the same thing, but only when I exit Lock on thankfully...

Thanks, you just confirmed that I'm not the only one.

I also have sound issues with FC and vista as well (only with FC), starting on tarmac; I hear engines at full speed even

 

 

 

Even if no ones are besides me. To fix the issue. I have to spool up, hold break, hit afterburner for a sec, and then idle off. Afterburner sounds disappears.(becomes normal)

 

 

But If I switch to external views and back. Then. I have the repeat the same steps when back to cockpit.

 

 

Not a big issue. But it is a bug in my view. True bug seems associated to OS or DX10 reverse capability. I am not sure. I just point things out. Some of the issue go outside my understanding. Only ED can intervene and address the issue.

 

Cheers

The sound issue is a known problem with a combination of Vista, FC, and Creative hardware :( but it is Microsofts fault because Vista now processes sound differently and doesn't account for older hardware (even though it's not really old!)

 

I get the same issue as you (again) with my A-10 in Muliplayer and someone starts on the apron next to me. It disapears once your co-op buddy taxi's clear of the apron...

[TheMoose]

Known issue, yes I admit this. . X-Fi here. Actually tried my on board sound card on my Asus P5k, for testing.

 

 

 

Same results…Same bug. I admit under Xp all is ok. But I need to go forward with Vista, (although I hate the OS) Main reason. DX10 games. The only Doctor for this would be ED. Since it his codes, he would be the best to contact Microsoft and get some kind of fix going. I tried all my tweaks and tech skills to fix the issue, all in vain. I’m out & clueless. I do admit, this surpasses my skills. I suspect issue is coded or compilation related. But I cannot be certain. I’m too limited at this point.

 

 

Please ED investigates this. Your team is the only one that can provide answers to this.

 

I admit that I'm kind of worried that BS will have the same issues with Vista..

 

 

Thanks

[wasserfall]

Count me in too, i'm having the same problems as you

 

1 Lockon stops working after some time without any reason

 

2 the afterburner sound is always there

 

But i think there will be no patch until BS comes out:(

[Guest BomberBwoy]

Hi All,

 

Newbie here having exact same problem as listed above, love the game, played it on XP without problems, recently upgraded to Vista Ultimate and did clean installs of LockOn and Flaming Cliffs along with patch 1.12b, and I've started getting random crashes every time I play.

 

Here's the report...

Please, someone help! This is driving me crazy....

[Yeniceri]

same issues here..

but remember

we are try'n to play a at least 4 years old game which have directx8 technology with dx10 hardware and software with a baby OS..

[Aeroscout]

These settings in your Ubisoft/Eagle Dynamics/Lock On/Sounds/Plane CFG file:

 

this is what it says:

 

EngineAfterburnerSound = true;

EngineFrontSound = true;

EngineBackSound = true;

EngineAroundSound = true;

WindSound = true;

DistortionSound = true;

CockpitSystemsSound = true;

CockpitAfterburnerSound = true;

 

And this is what you need:

 

EngineAfterburnerSound = false;

EngineFrontSound = true;

EngineBackSound = true;

EngineAroundSound = true;

WindSound = false;

DistortionSound = false;

CockpitSystemsSound = true;

CockpitAfterburnerSound = true;

 

As for lockon to "stop working", yes, this happens 50% of the time I exit lock on. Every so often, it happens in the middle of playing, but not enough to make it a real annoyance.

 

Hope this helps.

Count me in too, i'm having the same problems as you

 

1 Lockon stops working after some time without any reason

 

2 the afterburner sound is always there

 

But i think there will be no patch until BS comes out:(

 

I have exactly the same problems too and it is starting to become more frequent. If you drop the throttle to idle and get under 500 the sound resets itself and AB volume goes back to normal.

 

Lockon.exe is causing an app crash every 10-20 minutes for me, It's got so annoying I've stopped playing LOFC untill a fix becomes available.

[Groove]

Which soundcards do you guys use ?

[Guest Crazy_Eyes]

Which soundcards do you guys use ?

 

It's definatley not my sound card as it works fine on all my other games!, LOFC is not compatible with Vista,

Lockon.exe Appcrash was getting unbearable so I decided to formatted my computer and now LOFC wont even install,

LO_1.1b_Flaming_Cliffs_Setup.exe is highly unstable.

 

I give up. I have seven seperate problem signatures with LO_1.1b_Flaming_Cliffs_Setup.exe. and Lockon.exe appcrash is like chinese water torture.

 

[Guest Crazy_Eyes]

My systems specs are Vista 32, Intel core2 extreme, Nvidia 8800 Ultra, 4GB RAM, 22" Samsung Synchmaster, ASUS PB5 Deluxe, X-FI platinum fatality champion, 2x raptors.

 

After I sent a report to MS about the above issue I had an automated reply stating that "there is no solutions found for LO_1.1b_Flaming_Cliffs_Setup.exe Please check again later".
