jgf Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 First, these are two simple arcade game s have played for years on this system, through Vista and Win7, and were playing normally as recently as a month ago.. Second, no material changes to the system in months. (Win 7, so no automatic updates; periodic security updates manually via the Simplix mod.) Starting either game now gets the background music and a black screen with normal windows cursor. Task Manager shows game is running. Must kill in Task Manager to exit; one game just shuts down without a word, the other leaves this cryptic error message: ERROR in action number 1 of Begin Step Event for object obj_controller_screen_transition_out_2: Trying to use non-existing surface. Researching this gets numerous links to highly technical discussions on developer sites, or unanswered questions on Steam site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf Posted July 18, 2023 Author Share Posted July 18, 2023 Addendum - FS Repaint is not working. It starts, I can select an aircraft and a livery, the progress bar says it is loading, but the render window remains blank white. Reinstalling didn't help. It has been a couple of years since I last used this but can't help but wonder if it is related to the above issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
