4.36.2 Fresh install not starting
-
Installed 4.36 + 2 updates (all at once with an updated/patched setup file). Got to the launcher ok. Hit ‘launch’, wait but nothing happens after the splash screen i.e after hitting launch, it never gets into the ‘game’ screen with options for graphics, sound, controls etc. it just gets to the splash screen then flickers out. I am running as admin but that doesn’t solve the issue.
Version 4.35 still runs fine.
For 4.36 ,all other elements in the launcher work (configuration, documentation and manuals, etc.) just that the sim does not ‘launch’. Any ideas before I try a re-install?Full crash text:

@ricman Just tried a fresh install of 4.36.3. Still having same problem. I guess I’ll just stick to 4.35 for now. If I figure out a solution I will post here.

You have a problem with your driver’s or graphic card…
What’s your setup?

@MaxWaldorf
OS: Windows 11 Pro 64 bit
Ram: 16Gb
CPU: Amd Ryzen 5 2600
Graphics: Amd R9 380: 2048Mb
Mboard: Gigabyte x570 Aorus Elite WiFi (AM4)Thanks Max. Response much appreciated.

I fear your GFX card starts to be very limited with 2Gb and Radeon drivers might not be the most able with DX11 (not the first time I see wierd bugs with radeon drivers)
-
@MaxWaldorf He said 4.35 runs fine, so I doubt it’s his ‘aging’ graphic card.
-
@ricman Maybe try turning off High-res Textures?
Not sure if that will make BMS fit within 2Gb vram… on 4.35 or 4.36. But easy to try.
-
@Obi1 So you assume that we did not have any graphics engines changes between 4.35 and 4.36 …
The DX version is not the only factor…
-
@ricman One quick thing to test could be to delete the d3d11.dsp file located at
\Falcon BMS 4.36\User\Config\d3d11.dsp
It will be recreated when you launch BMS. That can sometimes go bad.
Since you are not even able to get into 2D, do you run with -nomovie option ? I think there were some issues with Win11 and the codecs required
-
@MaxWaldorf Sorry then Max, I was wrong i think now.
Cheers
-
Hi, I don’t see that file at all?
Also, ‘no-movie’ option didn’t work

Thanks Max. Much appreciated. Now to tell my wife ‘I have to upgrade. Honest! Max told me!’
-
@airtex2019 Thanks. No restrictions on 4.35 so I will just play that for now…until my upgrade
-
@ricman Start / Run / DxDiag.exe
What’s the date on your drivers?

Hello , same issue here.
4.36.3 will not launch after splash screen.My setup is: Ryzen 5 5600G , RX5700XT, B450 mobo, 16GB DDR4, Window 11 pro.
OS and drivers updated to the last version available.Worked totally fine since 4.36.1 (skipped 4.36.2 due to work…).
