2 minor bugs?

[uhoh7]

Getting back into lockon with my new system

 

Athlon 64 3800+ Abit AV8 6800U Raptor Sata Raid 0 2 gig ram

 

1) minor, but I like to run 1600x1200x32. At first when i start it goes to 1024x768 for menus, then back to 1600x1200 for game. I change config to start in 1600x1200, but get distorted graphics loading both at first load and loading mission. Plays OK though no distortion. SHould I go back to 1024 for menu display?

 

2) using FBP, when I'm finished, and I just press save instead of exit. The games just sits there. Should i just not save?

 

ty for help

Changing the menu resolution in Lock On up to 1.02 has been an "unofficial" feature and always resulted in distorted loading screens; otherwise I do not know of any bad effects so if you don't mind that (and the small fonts), there should be no problem. This can also help with disappearing cloud shadows (a problem that seems to happen frequently when menu and in-game resolution are different).

 

In 1.1 this has been corrected, and both the menu and in-game graphics are set to the same resolution, without distorted loading screens.

 

2) using FBP, when I'm finished, and I just press save instead of exit. The games just sits there. Should i just not save?

 

Not sure about this - are you talking about the game crashing, or are you just waiting for something to happen that doesn't? Also, do you mean saving a mission in the editor to reload it later on, or the save option after having flown a mission?

Ty for your kind reply

 

re the second issue

 

the game does not crash per say.

 

but there is a save button when you leave a fbp mission. I asume that is to save the mission if you have not already

 

when you press it the dialog box goes away and nothing seems to happ at all. The game no longer esponds to commands.

 

I have never waited more than about 2 minutes, maybe if i would wait long enough I would get a save dialog box. I close lock in this case in the task manager.

 

ty again,
