Nope.
I am having to run FF6 on my laptop.
Not ideal, but I guess it’ll do.
Prefer BMS.……any help here ?

Yes sir, same sequence of events.
Screen never changes to the ‘loading’ screen’ and I have to CLTR ALT DELETE my way to task manager, at which time the “Falcon BMS has stopped working. Windows will try to find a solution, blah, blah. Close program” dialog box appears.Video driver: updated.
I’m out of airspeed, altitude, and ideas. -
Progress !
I have two display adapters listed under Device Manager:
Intel HD Graphics 4600
NVIDIA Ge Force GTX 860MSo I disabled Intel 4600 and was able to get to ‘flying’. It’s a slide show, gotta be less than 10 fps.
I looked in BMS graphics settings and found it said ‘Microsoft Basic Render Driver’. There is no option to drop down to select the NVIDIA GeForce, even though it is enabled and the Intel is Disabled.Prior to disabling the Intel, BMS showed the NVIDIA adapter.
So I disabled the NVIDIA just now and ran BMS with only the Intel.
It WORKED ! I didn’t have my joystick plugged in, so I exited and plugged it in. Tried BMS again and it wouldn’t even load. Enabled the NVIDIA, same result.What’s going on here ???

At least I know know NOT to do this…

Hi to all, exactly the same problem on quite the same computer laptop as us rog I used the nvidia not the Intel and also discover that the game launch in 3D when in a window as main display (cockpit and config HW)
Still investigating forum and trying different solutions.
Looks like a very frequent problem…. -
Hello,
I have the same issue on an Acer Aspire V15. I have both Intel HD Graphics and a NVIDIA 840m. The game will launch with both units enabled, however, will freeze after I press “Takeoff” if they’re both enabled.
If I disable the NVIDIA, I can fly the game with low-quality graphics. If I disable Intel HD, I can’t even start the game.
Any advice? I have tried launching in both 32 and 64bit modes, re-installing the game, etc.
Thanks,

Run it windowed (-window)

did u found asolution?

Exact same issue in my new laptop.
i5 4210H, 8 ram, 860M, Windows 10. Acer V17. If I say run with Integrated graphics, in loads fine (and obviously runs like a slideshow with intel crap graphcis). It doesn’t generate a crash log. Windowed mode also runs, but it is even more of a slideshow. It seems having issues switching resolution from menu to game world ?
Any suggestions?

OK some progress, and an update incase it helps anyone.
Unfortunately, sim still freeze / crash anytime I click fly when running fullscreen with Nvidia card.
However, if I create a shortcut for game with -window parameter, for forcing it to windowed mode, sim runs fine with Nvidia card. Of course there is the whole window title bar killing the mood… right? Well I have solved this one too thanks to a post on falcon-online.org. From the launcher, choose “Cockpit Display Extraction”, choose “Main” on left side, set all the window rectangle values to 0 (zero) and uncheck “Borders”. Menu (well 2d world too) will appear 2d unfortunately, but once 3d world loads up, it will be exactly same as having the sim full screen! Yay! Well only drawback I can think of is, since this isn’t full screen mode, I think I will not be able to record BMS using Shadowplay. But hey, at least I can still run the sim, and without annoying titlebar too!
Funny thing is, previously I was running BMS on another laptop, it was my work laptop, and company being a game development company, it was a gaming laptop. But things did not work out and I’m not working there anymore, so I got this one. Work laptop was either a Broadwell or Skylake i7, with 960M. This one is a Haswell i5 with 860M. I had windows 10 on both. Never had any issue with running 4.33 on work laptop. My older computer is also a laptop, but I did not install 4.33 on it. It is an Ivy Bridge i7 with AMD 7670M, and never had any issue with 4.32.
I hope this helps others too.

Hi Ninja, sorry just saw this now…
No crash logs were being generated, and I could go to setup screen, and indeed anywhere in UI only when I click fly button would it hang, when loading screen should have appeared.
@niphredil, glad it helped you!

I followed all of your steps but i couldn’t stand playing in a window mode. this is how to get it to work in full screen:
- do all of the steps WinterH said to do.
- set the games resolution for the same resolution you have on your desktop while it is in windowed mode. the small window of falcon bms will take up the full screen once you hit commit (start the game).
WinterH Thank you for this fix.
