Zorg_DK Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Dear ED. I was told by Starforce that it is only you who can make Flaming Cliffs compatible with Windows 7. Could you please tell me if and when you are planing on fixing this? Answer from Starforce: Hello. If your game was protected with older version then it will be impossible to launch it on Windows 7 operation system unless the game publisher releases a patch protected with some newer version of protection system. We cannot do such patch on our side since we have neither unprotected game files required for that, nor the legal rights to produce any game patches. You can read more here: http://www.star-force.com/support/users/windows7/ 1 "There are only 10 types of people in the world — those who understand binary, and those who don't."

P.S. I've bought Lock on and LO Flaming Cliffs both in cd version from lockon.co.uk wich patch do i need? And when i have to install it? Do I need to upgrade lock on to 1.02 before install flaming cliffs? If yes where i can find the right patch???? Thank you in advance!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooCool_12f Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 if it works with the download version, maybe ED may give access to a download version for users having the CD version, so they can install that one instead? OF course, one should prove he has the CD version, but it may help users who paid for it and can't use it anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARM505 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Or the other option......ED can remove SF entirely from FC, thus negating this and all future such issues.... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooCool_12f Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 well, yes, it would mean adding it to the patch.. personally, considering the age of the game, I wouldn't think the piracy might be an issue about now.. those interested in it either have it, or can buy it for almost nothing (I saw lock on in a shop, new, for 9.90€ a couple of years ago already) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sid6dot7 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 (edited) My cd version of FC works fine on Windows 7 Prof. x64. I changed from XP (x86) in the last days (search for some drivers was hard ;)). I installed LockOn, then FC; Patched it to 1.12b and copied a backup over, which I made under XP. Installed everything with admin rights and also the following I did with. When I started FC first time, Starforce was installed and it wanted to reboot. So I did it. After the reboot SF wanted to reboot over and over again to finish the driver installation, when I was trying to start FC. After applying the SF-update from post #5 (admin rights) and a new reboot, FC worked without any problems. And for the next week without the cd in the drive. :) Edited August 21, 2009 by Sid6dot7 spelling, grammar :) Intel Xeon E3-1240 V2 @ 3.4 Ghz | 12 GB RAM (DDR3-1600) | Nvidia Geforce GTX660 Ti/2GB (Driver Ver. 381.65 ) | ASUS P8Z77-V LE Plus | SB Audigy 2 ZS (kxProject 3552) | Samsung SSD 830 Series (Sys: 64GB, DCS+other: 128GB) | Saitek X52 Pro + TM MFDs | TIR4: Pro (TIR 5.4.1.26786 Software) | Windows 10 Pro (x64, non Anniversary) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say income off Flaming Cliffs / Lock On in general is at it's end of life. In sweden you can buy Lock On for as low as four SEK, that's around half a dollar! =) I'm eager to hear other peoples experiences with Lock On FC and Win7 since we just got Win7 Professional full version available on MSDNAA where I study.

yeepeekai Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Works fine for me : Lockon FC 1.12b DVD version on Win 7 RC 1 64bits. The first thing I have tried is to copy a Vista installed version of FC 1.12b. Then Apply the patch for star force post #5. At the first launch of FC I have got an error (.exe error). After that I have made a real install of Lockon, then FC, then the 1.12b patch of FC. Now I can play lock-on on Win 7 64bits. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] And... Hum... Sorry for my english...

HiJack Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I try to get LockOn to run under Windows 7 but keep running in to problems. I have the European CD “Lock On Air Combat Simulation” which is the same as the US “Modern Air Combat” CD. I install the CD and patch to 1.02, then Flaming Cliffs 1.1B (download version), then the season pack 1.1, then I patch to 1.12B. Setting the Windows XP SP2 Compatibility mode and run as admin I get this error: Implementing the lockon.exe.local trick I get this error: The Star Force driver update is run (Versions before 5.5) and It reports that new version of drivers are installed but the file versions in LockOn directory is still OLD! Here is the info: Is this problems caused by the StarForce driver? ® Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team c0ff Posted August 27, 2009 ED Team Share Posted August 27, 2009 (edited) The problems are caused by missing msvcrt.dll in LockOn folder. The system one is used and it obviously is of a different version. Edited August 27, 2009 by c0ff Dmitry S.

Joe Kurr Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I installed Flaming Cliffs under Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (RTM) using Sid6dot7's post (#19) as a reference, and it works like a charm! Just remember to install everything with administrator privileges. This also applies to the first time you start LOFC to install the Starforce driver. After the first reboot, you will get a message that the starforce driver is disabled (hence the infinite start LOFC / reboot loop). Ignore this message and install the Starforce update. After that you're good to go. Dutch Flanker Display Team | LLTM 2010 Tiger Spirit Award Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
