fanqi1234 Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 (edited) I've installed and activated the LockOn:FC 2 but when I try to launch any mission, the program will show the "loading...." page, show a picture with two planes, and then the "loading...." page, and then directly go to the "debriefing" page (which has the "FLY AGAIN" button, etc). Firewall and anti-virus have been deactivated. I tried the "Run As Administrator" compatibility option but nothing changed. My system is Windows Vista Home Premium, fully updated CPU: Turion64 TL-56 MEM: 2GB Graphics: ATI Xpress 1150 with 256MB shared MEM The machine can run DCS:Black Shark (although, very slow). --------------------------- Cause: If you have your own copy of LUA interpreter installed, you might have set system or user variables LUA_DIR and LUA_PATH. When LOFC2 tries to load its lua scripts, the "current directory" of the running LOFC program will be changed by these two variables. Therefore, it will try to load weapon configurations from directories like c:\lua\5.1 instead of c:\games\LOFC2. Of course, there has no such file. Solution: delete system or user variables LUA_DIR and LUA_PATH if problem remains: uninstall your LUA from control panel. __ Thanks to anyone replied this post.

71st_Mastiff Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 is this a lap top? it looks as though you dont have enough ram, vista is a ram hog, I've installed and activated the LockOn:FC 2 but when I try to launch any mission, the program will show the "loading...." page, show a picture with two planes, and then the "loading...." page, and then directly go to the "debriefing" page (which has the "FLY AGAIN" button, etc).

fanqi1234 Posted March 27, 2010 Author Share Posted March 27, 2010 Yes it is a laptop. DCS can at least run on it, so I thought FC2 should also be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topdog Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 What did you set the Run As Administrator compatibility setting on exactly, the icon to run the game? If so, that may only being applied to the front-end menu / mission selector GUI (launcher.exe). It then will launch another process for playing the game itself (simulator.exe). So you could locate that file (in C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\LockOn Flaming Cliffs 2\bin\x86\stable\simulator.exe), right-click Properties, and adjust its compatibility settings too. Personally I'd prefer to take ownership/fullcontrol of the Eagle Dynamics folders and files though so it isn't ever necessary on either file (if that is even related to the problem you're getting): http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=860297&postcount=19 Check also that the ...\LockOn Flaming Cliffs 2\Scripts\Database\wsTypes.lua file actually exists. It should.

fanqi1234 Posted March 27, 2010 Author Share Posted March 27, 2010 I'm now re-installing the game to c:\games\LOFC2. topdog: I set them all (for launcher, simulater exe), but I think that should not even matter at all since this is years after 1.1b for vista. I also own the whole folder and have full control ( i set that even before installation) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fanqi1234 Posted March 27, 2010 Author Share Posted March 27, 2010 (edited) now LUA is uninstalled, and system variables LUA_DIR = C:\lua\5.1 LUA_PATH = ?.lua;C:\Lua\5.1\lua\?.luac are removed ___ Missions now can be loaded normally.
