Hello everybody, well I just got a new laptop that handle 1920x1080 resolution and after I finally got around to install Fps Creator Reloaded v1.008, I ran into a problem, because the editing area is all black and I can't do anything there. My other laptop had a max of 1366x768 and well it run great on that, and well after I set my resolution back to that on the new one it was working perfectly, but is there anyway to get Reloaded working with 1920x1080 or is it just me that cant get it to work. I searched but I couldn't really find any post that gave me a answer to this problem, but if there is then I am sorry for posting double.

Is anyone out there running Reloaded at 1920x1080 fine? I am at 1360x768 due to a beloved, but old, monitor.

I believe most of us are running 1920x1080 for the Editor with no problem i even change the config ini to run the test games on 1920x1080 resolution.

Well then sadly it's only with me, I reinstalled my pc, reinstalled fps creator reloaded several time but no luck always the same, I am running windows 8.1 64bit but that cant be the problem because I was running the same on the old one.

Yes I am 100% sure that's running in admin, as I said if I take my computer screen resolution to 1366x768 then the editor area is working perfectly fine, it's just that I dont want to always want to change the resolution before I start the program.

Is there anyway to edit config files so that only fps creator runs in 1366x768?

i don't think you can for the editor as it automatically goes to the screen resolution.

I can see all you using NVidia graphic cards and I'm using Intel one, does this make the difference?

I have had it too. I don't think it is a graphics issue more the editor goes black and nothing works all game world is crashed. All you can do is go to resource monitor and cancel.i got it first time today trying to promote your software and it was a bit embarrassing that they sat there with a black screen.it has lost you 4 sales for the moment. Will have to wat a while now



Gtx660



Amd 6core



4 ram and is a fresh install of system about 2 month ago. Sods law that all been great then on showcase day it crashes. Ps typical 1080p display

an unquenchable thirst for knowledge of game creation!!!

You should send the crash report to lee and see if he can see what is causing it
