Starting bug in Windows 7 64bit

Heh - as long as I can run everything on Fleet Ops at max and not experience any downsides I'm fine

2GB of RAM and a dual core with a relatively high end graphics card still get you far

very true, i only got more because it was quite cheap. My entire computer exept chase did cost me only 300 Euro, the chase 120 Euro ...

Hmm ... I got a similar problem: When I start FO on my Laptop (win7-64) the screen blacks out put I hear sound of my mouse hovering over the buttons in the start menu. When I alt-tab it goes into a small window-mode (and stays there). But ingame its fine. May it have to do with directx11, or a specific directx update?

@necrorubi
that problem is more or less known. we've encountered it ourselves sporadically on our hardware from time to time. the problem should be gone with the upcoming patch, as some changes to the general window handling were made.

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

I'd like to confirm this problem as well, just haven't said anything because it was easily resolved.  Now that others are seeing this with 64-bit....maybe there is a problem.
