Falcon BMS 4.33 won’t launch in MFD extracted mode.

Hi all.

 

Ive have upgrade 5 and Ii had it all working fine the last couple of months whilst I had projector as screen  and multiple external MFDS etc.

two days ago I replaced projector with my dads old 42 inch tv.  

The game will function correctly on the tv.  

However, when I set to external MFDs, the game won’t even start.  “Falcon BMS has stopped working”. Photos attached.

Ive tried much of what’s been said online, most of which was some years ago.  I’m  reluctant to reinstall as I haven’t changed anything from when it was working apart from the projector.

any one else seen this or have any suggestions?

 

many thanks

So you have tried the deleting dx9.dsp thing and set display format as appropriate for normal screen ?  Does it still load/run if you do not activate external displays ?

It takes maybe 10 mins to install fresh so if all else fails that is probably the way forward.

Thanks cobalt.

yeah deleted that file and checked the resolutions.

yes it runs fine without external displays.  Only when I check the box does it fail to start.

if I reinstall do I need to do all the updates?

Thanks again

Yea, ya gotta do the updates if you reinstall, but you can select them all and install all of them at once.

Thanks again guys.  

Th  reinstall appears to have fixed it.  

Didn’t take long at all to reinstall.  Good idea to save a copy of your config files for key bindings etc.

Cheers
