ddocg Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Just downloaded and installed the English version of BS. My problem is that whenever I run the desktop shortcut for BS, my screen goes blank for a couple of seconds then the monitor goes to sleep!!! I can hear what I presume to be the GUI music. I can only regain control by performing a reboot. This is as far as I have been able to get...still don't know where I have to insert the activation code! I am running XP SP2 on a Core 2 6600 @2.4 with 2 GB Ram and an X1950 of which I have updated to the latest driver being 8-12_xp32_dd_72271 Any help on this would be much appreciated.

ED Team Groove Posted December 12, 2008 ED Team Share Posted December 12, 2008 Is there any *.crash file in your BS temp folder? Try starting the game with a low desktop resolution like 800x600 and 60 Hz of refreshrate. 1 Our Forum Rules: http://forums.eagle.ru/rules.php#en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate--IRL-- Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Sounds like BS is trying to use a resolution you monitor doesn't support.....

ddocg Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 Thanks for the quick replies. Groove, I changed the desktop to 1024x768 this got me in and working :thumbs: And sorry no, there was no crash file, though I guess this is a good thing! Nate, when I got to the options page, I noticed the res was set at the next setting above what my monitor is capable of, maximum display of my monitor/card is 1680x1050 in game it was set at 1900x???? I have tried changing my sektop res back to 1680x1050 after I set this in game, still having problems, however, I can get it to run at 1024x768 so thats cool with me Again guys, thanks for the help. It's going to be a loooong learning curve ;) Dave Dave Intel Core i7 4770K i30 cooler Win 7 Pro 64bit Kingston SSDNOW V300 SATA III 240GB OS Drive Kingston SSDNOW V300 SATA III 120GB DCSW Dedicated Drive ASUS Radeon R9 290 ASUS Z87-K Corsair 16GB DDR3 Vengeance Jet Black 1600mhz Corsair AX860i PSU Thermaltake Chaser A71 Case Acer S271HL 27 inch monitor 1No 8" lilliput touch screen, running uMFCD TM HOTAS Cougar with TUSBA TM Cougar Stick Simped F16 C with RUSBA Track IR5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
