Are you Ok ???

Try to backUp your LockOn activision,and then reinstall the all game from the start.

[169th_Dredd]

What resolution were you running LockOn with before.

could quite possibly be screen resolution problem.

Go here..

C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Eagle Dynamics\Lock On\Config\graphics.cfg

You will see three resolution settings.

 

change them to 1024,768. (DisplayMode,Interface,Simulation)

 

Just a guess, hope it helps.

Hello lillen,

 

yesterday i bougt the downloadable version of flaming cliff for 18.99$ because i really love LOMAC well now the boring begins.....i installed flaming cliffs and registerd it for starforce no problems so far, but when i should play the game not load up,i can hear the same sound as in LOMAC when u start it and then there it is totally stop no more happens ......

 

I remember that some users have reported this problem in the past..

 

http://forum.lockon.ru/showthread.php?t=10711&highlight=video+codecs

http://forum.lockon.ru/showthread.php?t=7534&page=1&pp=10&highlight=startup

 

....and that the problem was caused by an incompatibility with codec packs - try removing any codec pack installed on your system to see if this fixes the problem :)

 

..after i have installed the FC i get a message after the last activation session and it says: "warning! please remove manually windows menu items for obsolete lock on versions"

 

This has nothing to do with the above problem. This message simply means that you should manually delete the old Lock-on desktop/menu shortcuts. The reason for this is that the original lock-on V1.0X uninstaller becomes obsolete after FC has been installed and that - in case you want to uninstall FC again - you must use the uninstaller included with the new Lock-on 1.1 menu group.

 

Hope this was useful

 

Cheers,

Deletion of folders?

 

Hi there, lillen

 

Your specs are app. like mine and I am running everything ok.

 

1. Did you install your FC on a freshly installed Lock on version 1.00?

 

If not it could be a factor in the "un-running" of FC

 

When re-installing:

 

1. Did you back up your Registry-entry of FC? You can back up your unique registry-entry through the tool from ED (located in your Lock On-folder). It is installed through FC and you use it to prevent you spend your limited registrations through reinstallations of FC. Also backup your flightstick-files.

 

2. Uninstall.

 

3. Remove all Lock On-referrals from your Registry-database - there are several free tools on the net - this isn't at demand from ED to make FC work, but better safe than sorry.

 

3. Physically remove all Lock On-folders from your "Program Files/Ubisoft"-folders - and i mean manually deletion.

 

4. Reboot.

 

THEN you should be ready to reinstall. And first Lock On - no patching required. THEN run the registry-backup-thing again (I think) Then install FC, then patch to 1.11. - I am not 100% sure when you should add your registry-entry - before or after the installation of FC.

 

It should help you - I found out the hard way by rushing things and not reading everything - I had problems after 1.11 - but I didn't read the sentence about it is not recommended to install 1.11 when addons are installed.

 

Good Luck

Dammit, JJ

 

Hehe, lillen. Maybe you should pay more attention to JJ than me.

 

Was writing at the exact same time :)

[169th_Dredd]

Yup what Alfa said.

 

No charges apply for my reply. ;) :P

Hehe....bedre sent end aldrig ;)

 

You are of course right that the optimal procedure is to apply V1.1 to a freshly installed V1.00. But the problem lillen reports sounds quite familiar and I don't think it is due to a messy installation/installation procedure, but rather the above mentioned codec incompatibility.

 

Anyway, it is worth checking before moving on to the more radical measures :)

Ja, sådan kan det gå ;)

 

I completely agree with you, JJ, but I haven't tried the codec-problems myself, so I... kinda forgot they existed [embarassed look on my face].

 

Well, back to work, and hope it helps, lillen.
