FC2 crashes with new install

[Konovalov]

Hi guys,

 

I thought I would install FC2 on my new system and give it a go. I previously flew Lockon with the FC addon 1.12 without any real problem.

 

So the other day I installed first Lockon vanilla version 1.0 disk that I had since it came out years ago. Secondly I installed Flaming Cliffs 2 disc on my system. I have not installed any mods or anything at all. The only thing I installed was Lockon 1.0 disc followed by Flaming Cliffs 2 disc.

 

I get crashes/freezes when playing a track or when flying an aircraft via quickstart. My sig has my system specs. I don't think my system is unstable as I have stress tested my system after I built it with Super PI. I haven't had any overheating issues. The only other game on my new system build is GTR2 driving sim and I haven't had crashes or problmes with this.

 

As per the troubleshooting thread instructions I have attached my DXDIAG report and have also found CRASH and ERROR files within my Eagle Dynamics\LockOn Flaming Cliffs 2\Temp" folder and I have posted these here also. For some reason I couldn't upload these two error.txt files and the .crash file so I put them all into a RAR file. Hence in the RAR are Error.txt, errors.txt, and a DCS-20101129-190654.crash file.

 

Any ideas on where I should go from here. I'm desperate to get back into Lockon FC2 series before moving across to DCS. :helpsmilie:

Hm... I don't know anything about that problem, myself. How, precisely, did you install FC2, though? Isn't it supposed to be stand-alone? (Meaning: No need to install LO/LO+FC first.) I think the installer gives you the option to either replace your LO or FC1.1 install or install separately.

I have the original Lockon disc and the Flamming Cliffs 2.0 disc. I installed the original Lockon 1.0 disc first. I didn't bother to even run Lockon as I thought it just needs to be on your system before you install FC2. Then after installing Lockon I installed the Flamming Cliffs 2.0 disc. Is that not the correct install procedure?

My suspicion is that I may not have allowed the install to update Direct X. I think I may have opted to ignore this during the install. Could this be the problem?

 

I have decided to uninstall and re-install Do I need to deactivate first and then uninstall? Is this the correct procedure for re-installing the Flaming Cliffs 2?

Well I'm now convinced I have some sort of hardware problem. I also installed DCS Blackshark on my new rig and I get the same types of stutters and graphical glitches and also graphical artifacts. I can get into both sims but after a short time of flight I get graphical flickering along with artifacts on screen. :mad:
