Suggestion [ If you have Nvidia Graphics Card, Read here.. ]

system4 · 09-04-2017, 03:25 PM

If you can't run SFO due to constant crashing and you have a Nvidia Graphics Card, then you just need to simply update to the latest version of your drivers.

http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx

Older drivers don't seem to work well with the Shockwave Player, but newer versions seem to make the game work again.

Good find. I truly didn't think it would make a difference. It made ALL the difference. I can finally play the version of SFO that everyone else is on instead of the legacy version.

I appreciate it!

My SFO not wanting to work with or without my Nvidia gfx card on win10,
Tried bunch of dumb small **** that didn't work, Did the Shockwave player with web version on chrome and couldn't even get it to go passed a Blk screen, When i click on the downloaded version it just crashed as soon as launch the game.

First off.. Chill with all the profanity..

Two, do you have Teamviewer, because I'm willing to bet you didn't update any drivers, because otherwise it would of worked for you.

I have Windows 10 and a 970m in this laptop and never crash..

Use Option 2 on the page below for it to find drivers automatically for your graphics card.. Download and install it.. Try SFO again afterwards..
