to find the log go to the main RF folder. it's a file called realityfactory.log if you cant open it right click the file and select open with, then choose notepad. even if you open it, windows should prompt you to choose a program.

here the path exactly if your still confused.
C:\Program Files\RealityFactory <-assuming you installed to without changing anything.

I myself did finally get this to work...

I tried my laptop at home, did not work, black screen... No log file created
I tried my laptop at work, partially worked, but would not actually run the demo... No log file created

Then I finally tried my desktop at home, the first time it crashed the machine....After reboot, I was able to run a game..

Looks like a neat little system, but it really has me questioning the compatibility.

one thing to remark with rf is that if you have no sound driver installed, it crashes at startup. I ran into this a couple of times when i reinstalled windows.

crash on loading is usually a sign of a bad reference. look through your files and see if you have any files referenced that dont exist

um hello, is Jay still here?

Post by **Jay** » Wed Aug 01, 2007 5:38 am

Yes i am still here.
Try to use the videosetup program, and set the Driver to the slower D3DDriver. If that doesn't work, try the Opengl Driver.

What graphics card do you have?
