BMS hangs in x64 fine in x32
-
Darkman im not sure what you mean by was i in the UI when i took the snapshot. the file is created automatically guess it doesn’t matter now anyway as its not the issue. i have already tried deleting the dx9display.dsp file, BMS created another one on launch but it still didnt work. i will try the other steps and see what happens there.
Thanks for your time guys. -
The UI is limited in the code to 1024 x 768, there is nothing you can do about that. 3d is set by you to your chosen resolution, i.e. 1920 x 1080 in your case. So if you were in the UI in 32-bit, but attempting to go to 3d in 64-bit then we’re comparing different resolutions and graphics settings
Don’t worry about it, I was just double-checking, but as you’ve confirmed that was the case just carry on with I-Hawk’s suggestions.
The only other things I’ve seen people post who specifically had 64-bit exe issues were due to Force-Feedback drivers, Bluetooth drivers, FaceTrackNoIR drivers, or Windows 10 updates. Have a look through this sub-forum if you’re still struggling as it’s quite possible someone else has posted a similar issue and what caused it for them. Drivers do seem to be a common theme, unless you’re beta-testing Windows 10 for Microsoft :rolleyes:

ive just done all the the suggestions which I-Hawk has made. its still not working.
Darkman, i did have FaceTrackNoIr but its uninstalled now, Bluetooth drivers, i read about that as a possible cause so i have already uninstalled the drivers.
To me, as it runs fine in 32 bit and not in 64 bit then it suggests that BMS is dependant on something 64 bit. the drivers which i have just installed are 64 bit but still no good. i forgot to mention, the the shortcut properties, i have Run as Administrator, Capability Mode Win 8 and disabled scaling. if its not the driver, what else could it be? what does it depend on? maybe try uninstalling dot net and reinstalling 4.6 again? but if 32 bit is ok then it may not make a difference. -
Win 8 compatibility mode??? Why?

if its not in win 8 capability mode then not even x32 works. i read the thread where you were having problems with the same issue. is yours sorted now?

That’s interesting. On which version of windows are you?
What happens if you try to run DirectX Diagnostic tool? (Start and type “dxdiag”) - Do you see in the main window that everything looks OK?
Do you have other games that you can test? Do they work fine or require also to set some specific compatibility Windows mode?
-
my OS is Win 10 Home and Directx is ver 12. do you need to run yours in capability mode? in the morning i will double check to see if x32 will run without capability mode. ive tried so many things ive forgotten the settings ill make sure in the morning.
my other games Assetto Corsa x64, DCS, Arma 3 all run without problems.

Weird, I also have Win 10 Home (On my laptop) and 64-bit runs fine there without any issues and without setting any compatibility modes.

After checking, i can confirm that BMS must be in capability mode or not even x32 will run. It will just freeze before leaving the UI and going into the game. I guess i could try this, uninstall then install the base game without any updates a test it, if it works install the U2 update and so on until it stops working. Also i could try 4.32 if its still avaialble and has x32 and x64?
Another option is to reinstall directx. What do you think? -
With given info and no specific solution or guidance, start testing one by one.
First a clean install would be what I would do.
Just in case use stock folders.
R u on a non English version of Windows?
Any force feedback input devices connected?Στάλθηκε από το MI 5 μου χρησιμοποιώντας Tapatalk

Arty, yes the English ver of Windows 10 and i updated it with the latest update this morning. No force feedback devices.
Im at a loss as to why i have to run BMS in cabability mode and you guys dont. That has to be a clue to the problem. Does it matter if BMS is not installed on the drive where Windows is installed? Could it be an issue with Falcon 4? -
Well as reported and verified by the Devs it shouldn’t be an issue to have it installed on a different drive or folder. But, as a habit of mine I always use the root
folder. So I don’t worry about it at all.There must be a driver installed that is engaged by BMS and fubars things up.
Sound driver? I believe it must use the windows one. Maybe find which device-chip it is and download and install the driver from the manufacturer page.Have u set on power settings the plan for maximum performance?
Also on VGA driver settings set it to high performance?
On final windows update there were reported issues, sorry can’t recall the solution or exact setup, but u can search it here in the forum. It’s recent.

i uninstalled BMS then reinstalled just the base game, no updates, didnt create a profile i just went straight to a game mode in X64 and it didnt run. my laptop is set for high performance, im at loss as to what is causing this problem. im going to leave it for now and have a think about it.

Have you tried all tips given here (shameless plug)?

It’s more likely to be an issue with Windows 10 it would seem, if you’re confident you’ve ruled out drivers.
What is your install path? I’ve seen issues posted by people with long install paths inside several nested folders, so it would be useful to rule that out. If you are going to do a clean install it might be worth the extra 3-4 minutes to install in the default directory on your C drive first, just to confirm if that is the issue. Don’t forget to use Setup.exe to uninstall the software, to make sure the registry entries are removed, before reinstalling.

Check driver of your Joystick and/or delete latest version of it.

Darkman, you are right
This morning windows 10 downloaded and installed a major update, took something like 30 mins to install. When it finished, just for laughs i thought i would try BMS in x64, guess what? IT WORKED i can actually run BMS in x64 now. I had to close BMS to make sure it wasnt in x32, it wasnt, it was in x64. I almost fell over when i saw it working.I would like to say a big thanks to everyone who contributed to this post. Thanks guys, and hopefully see you in the air!
