Running SFO on Windows 10 (Early 2017)

TotalReincarnation · 03-16-2017, 07:27 PM

Well it was brought to my attention that people are having issues with the crashing of SFO on windows 10 so I have made this video to hopefully help people out and shed some light on the subject. If this helps you please be sure to share it with others, as of right now there is a known compatibility issue.

RUNNING SFO on WINDOWS 10

In the video, it looks like you're running Windows 8.1 though..

I'm running Windows 10 and SFO freezes up after 2-5 mins of play on the web and download version and all of the web browsers that I've tried (Firefox, and even Internet Explorer..) This game doesn't work with Chrome, Edge or Opera since they terminated the Shockwave plugin.

My laptop is way more capable of running a game from 2001. I can play Black Ops 3 at 1080p max settings.

Yeah I get what you are saying System, however I am indeed using window 10. Just to provide confirmation I have provided a screenshot here.

We run windows 10 on all our computers in my place.

Weird.. The interface just reminds me so much of Windows 8.1 lol..

I prefer to use the small task bar icons, and what not.. to make it look clean and provide as much space as possible. One thing I must highly recommend is make sure you have all the latest updates for windows 10. It has been known to have compatibility issues with many different things since he came out.. however they have made many patches.

i'm running tech version of win10, have never had any problems with playing on firefox. so i doubt it to be Windows 10 that ****s you. my cousin had the same problem when we ran win 10 the first time. only to realise most softwares and drivers for his machines weren't really compatible with win 10. once we figured out all the quirks of his machine everything ran fine. BTW he had a machine much much more recent then mine and he had much much more problem then mine.

Some reason the broswer isn't loading SFO anymore on my end. I was force to use the damn downloaded version! When I installed it. I make sure my downloaded version asked me to install "shockwave" which did. It said I needed to download Shockwave 52. It's working on my end. I'm not using Windows 8 or 10. I'm still rocking with Windows 7 =D

Still not working for me unfortunately

the game itself doesn't work or you're displeased with it being stuck on the small screen?
