Canadair 0 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Greetings. I am running windows 8.1 with 2.6.60 taw launcher. At start I have a weird situation. The scrren flikers shows briefly the pilot name entry than goes back to desktop F-22 can be see reduced as icon. There is no success in restoring it to windows F22.$$$ does not say anything I have no event reported from windows The process f22 continues running in background and I have to terminate it manually. Even more interesting and weird is that if I continue for some time, (without changing anything) after a few random numer of attempts the sim starts normally . And works flawlessly Any ideas?

mikew 4 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 If it's failing that early, it's probably the way the game interacts with Windows. Since we've just been through something like, you could maybe check out this post and its replies to see if any of it applies to you: http://community.combatsim.com/topic/20202-f-22-total-air-war-222a-released/page-28#entry5172794 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Canadair 0 Posted February 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 No it does not. If you are refering to the run with affinity. This is really crazy because after some attempts it will start, at total random. there must be some service that stops and frres the resources, but what? Must be something interfering But I have no firewall, non antivirus, and a quite light program list running in background. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikew 4 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Bizarre... In order to rule out the launcher, you could try running _f22.exe directly from where you've installed TAW- Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Canadair 0 Posted February 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Tried. that first thing. That I use launcher or not, result is the same. no result Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Canadair 0 Posted February 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 I copied and pasted the same folder on my windows 7 PC. starts normally. Must be a problem with my W8 install..but what? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikew 4 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Well, I'm stumped for now. It almost seems like there's a problem starting and maintaining the full screen which may point to the graphics driver. That's a long shot though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Canadair 0 Posted February 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Ok, solved. still weird, but solved.I have a geforce GTX780M In the graphic properties, under desktop settings dimesnion and position , there is a setup that says screen/GPU for screen proportion. By keeping it on GPU it is now working . Another problem. eveven with 2.6.60 beta, with no compatibility , if I launch sim from launcher I get no menu. Must still launch from _f22.exe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Canadair 0 Posted February 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 No , it was a fluke. It is completely random when it starts and when it crashes immediately. There must be a logic! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Home Fries 8 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Have you checked the properties for the Launcher as well as _f22.exe to ensure that Windows XP compatibility mode is disabled? The reason I ask is that compatibility mode is forced in 2.22, but removed with 2.30 for direct compatibility with Windows 7/8. The installer should remove any forced registry entries, but this doesn't always work and it's recommended that you check this yourself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Canadair 0 Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Okei, now it is really solved and it is so weird. Basically I have to refresh and reapply the graphiccard configuration in my NVIDIA control panel. For example, shutting off and reapplying antialias and clicking apply. Then the sims will start regulary, from either the .exe or the launcher. this explains the apparent randomness. Now I have another little problem. I play at 1920 X 1080 and when I quit a mission my screen reverts to 800 X 600 non tin full screen. Anyway to solve it? not a big deal thoguh Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Like you said, no big deal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
