Odin_Norway Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 (edited) Hello guys I hope someone can help me on this one 'cause I'm out of ideas. I haven't been playing Lock On for some days, and when I tried to start it never startet. It stopped just the second the menumusic started. But it never showed up the loading screen. I thougt WTF and tried everything I could think of. Ended up reinstalling the game. Same thing. :mad: I tried with vanilla lockon. no patches or anything. Still didn't work. Tried installing with another path. No luck either. All my other games work perfectly (RainbowSix, CivIV, World in Conflict) I tried to just update DirectX just incase, no help at all. I have to admit I have been "tuning" my windows by turning off some services and stuff to keep it as fast as possible, but I can't see what should make LockOn stop working? I have not installed any codec packs as I saw several threads about this. I actually have a quite new installation of windows. I tried windows debug to see if it could give me any hints, so here is the file if someone can make use of it http://www.johnnyolsen.net/result.JPG Hope someone can tell me what to do. I want to play my all time favourite sim EDIT: Here is my processes in case someone could have use of it : http://www.johnnyolsen.net/prosesser.JPG Edited August 11, 2008 by Odin_Norway Oдин
159th_Viper Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Does your screen resolution match the corresponding entry in your graphics.cfg file?

VMFA117_Poko Posted August 11, 2008 Posted August 11, 2008 Sounds like an issue with ACE megapack codecs or others in conflict with the game.
Odin_Norway Posted August 11, 2008 Author Posted August 11, 2008 Does your screen resolution match the corresponding entry in your graphics.cfg file? Just a thought..........:) Yes, as I did several fresh installs the initial resolution is 1024x768 which my screen is able to show. Sounds like an issue with ACE megapack codecs or others in conflict with the game. No as I mentioned in my first post there are no codec packs installed. I have quite recently reinstalled my OS (winXP) so there isn't much installed yet. I did install LockOn with FC and correct patches and played a little bit. Working just fine. I installed some other games (as mentioned) and didn't play LockOn for a week or so. Somewhere in between here I did tweak my system a little bit. My other games still works ok but LockOn, for some reason I can't figure out, won't work. Of course there is the option to install or repair OS over again, but I thought I try to fix this without doing this and maybe learn something from this. Oдин
OldCrow Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Hmm, sounds strange. Im no computer expert or anything, but seemes like the changes you did in windows might cause the problem. If you remember the changes you could try to set them back to default. If this doesnt work or you dont remember the default settings, theres always the option to set your system to a point earlier when lockon worked (systemgjenoppretting). Hope u get it to work!:thumbup: [sIGPIC]http://www.virtualredarrows.com/member_sigs/vra2012_crow.png[/sIGPIC]
Odin_Norway Posted August 12, 2008 Author Posted August 12, 2008 Yes that could have been an option hadn't I disabled restore point ;) Yes, I'm sure it must have been some of those changes, because what else. Have been fideling with some of the changes I did but no go. Guess I'll just keep on trying. Going away for a couple of days tomorrow, maybe that will clear my head and give me some ideas Oдин
