Title: I cannot get fso to work for me. As soon as i run i get fso has stopped working
Post by: destromath1 on August 21, 2011, 12:21:41 pm
I have attached my fs2_open.log as instructed. Please help me figure this out and talk me down from the edge. Ive broken so many things in my office, i will never be able to print again...haha.  As soon as i try to run my fso build from the launcher it just stops working.

Something wrong with your graphics card. So, what graphics card? Drivers up to date?

Also,

Do you have some FS1 disc in your optical drive? You don't need to have any discs in when running FSO.

I take it there's an FS2 disc in another drive. Also unneeded but shouldn't really cause anything.

Switch to 32-bit colors in the Launcher and also from the driver settings. If still nothing, try uninstalling and reinstalling the GPU drivers.

GPU: Graphics Processing Unit. Your graphics card. Download the latest ones from AMD's site, uninstall the current ones, install the new ones. Reboot whenever prompted.
