Reality Factory

PlayerStart, PlayerSetup, and EnviromentSetup are all in a room, but when I try to preview the game, it goes black for a moment, then returns the desktop.
I looked at all the FAQs I could find, but they all said to make sure those three things were there and nothing else...

please post the contents of realityfactory.log (in the main realityfactory folder). welcome to rf and the forums!

Yes I get the same thing, but I can compile and run ok no problem.

I've never been able to preview levels. So I just compile and run them as well.

are you previewing with the "preview with realityfactory" checkbox in the rf compile window, or with the "view with engine" toolbar button? the toolbar button, as mentioned above, doesnt work.

All it says is "Searching for fullscreen driver".
Thanks for the warm welcome, yall.

ok, try previewing through the compile map window, with the checkbox that says "Preview in Reality Factory".

It does the same thing, but doesn't display the 'Genesis 3D' logo.

Hmm what are your system spec's?

Another thing is to try different video modes. RF has two dx video modes normal and fast. Sometimes depending on the system the fast driver mode can cause problems. As well as the opengl mode.

to do what he said about opengl:

go to c:\realityfactory\realityfactory.ini, and find the line

Driver=d3d

and change it to

Driver=ogl

then save the file and run realityfactory again.

actually it's opengl, not ogl

I just tried that. My screen when black for a second, then flickered back on all stretched out, then went back to normal. RF didn't show the Genesis 3D thing either.

Might be the problem. Please post them if you know them.

THis happens to me every time i try to put in something extra, like water, or a terrain.
