Starting bug in Windows 7 64bit

posted on April 30th, 2010, 8:07 am

Hello,

I have to present you a funny bug:
If I want to start FO with a click on my icon the process is starting but there is no game popping up. I have to shut down the process manually with the task manager. After that I can play most of the tryouts the game without any problems.

My system is based on Windows 7 ultimate 64bit. Hardware is more then potent to handle FO. Has anyone an idea what this could be?

you could give compatibility mode a try. Right click on your Fleet Operations shortcut and set the compatibiltiy to vista (or xp if vista doesn't work). UAC might pop up asking you to allow Fleet Operations making changes once you activated compatibility mode, thats normal behavior

still, these issues shouldn't occour. the compatibility shouldn't be required to run fleet operations. fleet operations is running fine in xp, vista, 7 both 32 and 64 bit.
In this case a DirectX log would be helpful
click the Start Button on the taskbar. In the search box type dxdiag. Press Enter key. Wait until the program is loaded, then, on the bottom of the window, click Save All Information... save the file and attach it to the forum please.

One tiny little problem, if I remember correctly, the uploader for the forums is still broke.

I just tried uploading a file for the community... did not go through because I got "The upload folder is full, either use a smaller file size or contact your administrator." message. I'll post the thread and then email you the file. Hopefully you can get it up.

The file size is 900 KB, should be no problem.

I've checked EVERYWHERE, looked for EVERYTHING.
Is there any progress? Any ideas besides compatibility?

I too have problems starting FO in windows 7 64 bit. It keeps minimizing and wont let me go back on, but I think Ive found the source of the problem. Firefox must be turned off before you start the game

aye thats true, firefox and every other browser will keep the game minimized

My laptop was from 2007 - x64 and additional RAM was too expensive for it
