Hi All,

I went to start CFS3 and it gets to the first splash screen loads for about 30 seconds, a quick blip of the screen as if its going to the main game screen and then it drops out.

Checked the task manager CFS3 not running. I haven't installed any new software or added anything to my CFS3 install since last running it yesterday. I have tried running the config utility and deleting the various files in the application data folder, but still no joy.

Win7, i7-4700HQ 2.40ghz, 64bit, Nvidea card, 8gig RAM.

any thoughts much appreciated,

regards Rob.

All sorted,

after running the config tool again I had a quick look at the display settings and it had somehow set itself to a resolution the monitor would not support. changed it back to the normal resolution for my screen and CFS3 started up with no issue.

regards Rob.

I think on occasion CFS3 has a mind of its own!

hi Rob, do you set your configoverrides file to Read Only? Otherwise CFS3 seems to have a mind of its own (like Oliver says)!
