At first, I must say, I do have a crappy computer, yet I managed to run on it some things that are surely not supposed to run.All stuff is updated and working as best as I can make it, and generally, system is stable and OK.Here's my story. Hope it helps someone...Did you knew, that "Fallout 1" ".dat" files does not work for "Fonline"? Yeah, you need to use "Fallout 2" ones. At least that's how I was able to fix my first issue. Happy about it, clicked PLAY from the launcher. Awesome fallout pic, and we are back with the launcher again. Let's try again, and maybe again. Ok, enough. Let's call Dr.Google! Yey. Finally I am here, in this thread, draining my eyes with 17 pages of text. Even drifting to other pages, following many repeated instructions, updating, deleting evil cache, rechecking hosts ports and proxies and all, just to browse random "FOnline.exe" startup pictures over and over. Later on, one of posts gave me idea to reduce resolution even below 800x600, to 640x480. And what do you know? Success! Finally I got to menu, where I can click a button. Then a scream is heard: "The game might not run properly if resolution is lower than 800x600 or greater than 1280x1024!". How very true... I see my 640x480 pixels. But the rest of 800x600 pixels are beyond my vision range. I was sure I couldn't contain them in my screen using physical force, but that was a thought... Let's try with 800x600 again. Ends with another random pic. Other resolutions? *** in a face. 640x480 again? Still do not fit... Ok... Continuing with google rape I got fed up more and more until I quit. Just right before I was going to do few healing headbangs, I happened to do, what a sane person with calming tone would call in a one word: "amassivemouseclickingmadnessintheFOnlineconfiguratorv230focusingonvideosettingswith800x600resolution". Let's click once again PLAY, before I "shoot down". WADDAYANAW? All is happy, all pixels firmly holding in their rightful positions. What a wee! Let's create my ill-fated character with useless perks and messed-up skills. All is good, character made and registered. Let's click the ultimate PLAY button. For doing so, I was face to face with the lovely, yet ultimately depressing view. Oh no, Marko, it wasn't the wastelands at all. It was the agony, widely known as the "Blue Screen Of Death", telling me about "nv4disp.dll" and stuff.Was it because of my characters low luck and jinxed? Or maybe perception wasn't high enough to sense a trap behind a PLAY button? Well, we will never now, as my bleeding hands are no longer able to try create a new character with different, more lucky attributes... With the last breath, my head lands on alt+s
Snailbeast, Did you get this solved yet? I had the same problem and solved it by changing a video setting on my laptop. Try checking video properties, Settings, Advanced, Troubleshoot and see if you can increase your hardware acceleration at all. I bumped the slider up 1 notch and then my game loaded just fine.
