Turn the white key off..

Not really, only thing i could think of is that your trying to run the game in a not supported res.
But since I don't have TH2Go I don't have any knowledge about how things can go wrong with this technology. :)
Perhaps Paddy has an idea.

First thing is to check whether it works in the 'supported' resolutions.

Next thing is to grab all the patches.

After that, I don't know. PaddytheWak will probably be of more help...

doesnt work in the supported resolutions???
will grab the patches and see what happens then.

Hello ...
I don't know why the SGU isn'tworking for you ...
To set it up manually ...
Go to ...
C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersDocumentsMonolith ProductionsFEARsettings.cfg
Open it using NotePad or wordPad

Change the ScreenWidth and ScreenHeight to your desired TH resolution ... for example ...

"ScreenWidth" "3840"
"ScreenHeight" "1024"

Do not go into the Display section of the Options menu ... it will reset the resolution to 640x480.
You can go into the Performance Options section but ... don't change the res in here either.

The FOV is automatically adjusted ...

dingles · Post by **dingles** » 25 Jan 2007, 22:51

not a thing mate. just a blank screen. dont even get the options menu. nothing. the version i have is the latest up to date version aswell :evil:

Post by **Paddy the Wak** » 25 Jan 2007, 22:55

Something may have gone wrong with the install.
Have you tried re-installing it ?

dingles · Post by **dingles** » 25 Jan 2007, 23:00

3 times. and still the same thing. thats why i'm thinking its the disk.

must sound like a bit ddeeeerrrrr!! :lol:

Post by **Paddy the Wak** » 25 Jan 2007, 23:16

It could be the disk but if you google you will see there are lots of people with this black screen problem with FEAR ...

Just in case ...
What drivers are you running are they the latest ?

dingles · Post by **dingles** » 25 Jan 2007, 23:22

checked all the latest drivers. everything up to date.

Hey ... glad you got it going ... 8) :D

Good Job again Paddy!!!!! You really save our butts alot in here.
I also read somewhere about changing the exe. file name?
Supposedly changing the file name did something that i do not understand.
Anyway It got my game going before my triple head. And with my triplehead I made sure the shortcut led to that same exe. to start the game.
I am sorry for the poor explanation, but for others it may lead them in a direction to look for a solution.
Geesh i wish I could say I know what Iam talking about, but I really dont...lol
8)
Here is a copy of what I had to do. Maybe it was just for F.E.A.R. Extraction point only??
I cannot remember where I got it, and would love to give credit for the person that shared it.
And yes I edited this in.
Maybe someone can use this? This game is TOTALLY awsome in TH2GO.

No prob...
This is assumign you have the FEAR Extraction Point icon on yer desktop (and you should, unless you moved it or deleted it).
Right-click on the icon -> hit "Find Target". This will bring up the directory where the program is installed. Look for 'FEARXP.EXE' (you might not see the '.EXE' part if you don't have explorer set to show all file extensions. I guess you'd see a 'FEARXP' application if you don't see the extensions).
Right-click on the FEARXP.EXE -> Rename. Change it to anything you want, but make sure it ends in .EXE. I used 'FEAR_ME_XP.EXE' just as an example; I'm sure the key thing is to switch away from 'FEARXP.EXE'.
Now go back to the shortcut property window. In the Target: box, change the target program from ' launcher.exe' to ' FEAR_ME_XP.EXE' (or whatever you actually called it).
Or make a shortcut directly to the FEAR_ME_XP.exe and launch that instead of using the launcher.

Thank you ... :D

I'm not sure why you would have to rename the .exe ... it is not necessary.

But if you have it working ... great ... that's what matters ... :lol:
