EtherealN Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 If you please, a DxDiag would help give us a good overview of your system to try diagnosing the problem. Directions for creating a DxDiag output file are in the "Help us help you" sticky thread in this section.

digital_steve Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Might be a similar driver issue that ATI has... where you get the options screen, but it's white and just has buttons and no background... so it's pot luck what you click, unless you know the buttons well.

Rjennings Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 Honestly, i think the setup, and the data1 files are subject to bad dowloads. I have downloaded them all day long, sometimes they work, sometimes they dont. Is there a way to get a disc sent? RTFM 1 page at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xplight Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 If startup screen is white, just update DX (or put missing dll file in windows/system32 dir) and video card drivers (just use window update — not mandatory updates).

Rjennings Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 Im always getting some kinda error, now i got error code 13, so im downloading the data1.cab file again, for the hundreth time. Im about to give up, if it wasnt such as awesome game i would have already! Which dll file are you talking about? and does it matter if you download the from the russian mirror site?

Rjennings Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 Ok, its taken me all day long to install the game, honestly i believe everyone would be better off buying the retail version of the game at the store with a CD because of the countless number of times i have downloaded the data1.cab file and it give me the error 13 message. Now im afraid to run the patch, afraid it will mess the game up again, i have spent the whole day trying to install this game and i think its either the setup.exe or data1.cab files being corrupt, or the video card driver which caused the screen to turn white with no options available. Updated the video card drivers and finally got a setup.exe and data1.cab file that seemed to do what they were suspose to. buy this game on disc, thats the best advice i can give anyone.

Unlucky mate... never had an issue with the download personally and it's a hell of a lot cheaper than the hardcopy over here in Oz. The left over money can go towards buying the lovely printed manual :pilotfly: AMD Phenom II 965 BE @ 3.8GHz, 8GB OCZ AMD BE RAM, ATI HD5970 2GB XFX BE @ 875/1215, TM HOTAS Cougar, TM Cougar MFDs, TrackIR 5, CH MFP, GoFlight Switch Panel, iMo Mini-Monster Touch, Mimo 720S, Saitek Pro Flight Headset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrongHarm Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 (edited) Download TCPView from SysInternals and see if you have something wacky going on with your network card. Also, I did an advanced search for 'White' in English/DCS/Problems and Bugs and found posts 'White Screen' and 'Main Intro Screen White'. I say this with all possible kindness and respect; make the search tool your friend.. there's so much to know about this sim, it's almost required. Edited February 2, 2010 by StrongHarm It's a good thing that this is Early Access and we've all volunteered to help test and enhance this work in progress... despite the frustrations inherent in the task with even the simplest of software... otherwise people might not understand that this incredibly complex unfinished module is unfinished. /light-hearted sarcasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
