Looking for some help with Friction...

Okay I just tried that real quick and installed that same installation and same thing.

So I am actually noticing that I see Friction.exe in the task manager. Maybe it was there the whole time I don't know, but it is in the "background process" section, not in the top area where you'd expect an application to be running from.

After like 20-30 seconds though, it goes away from the background processes section and is gone from task manager.

Ugh this is so frustrating lol.

lilshawn:
can you alt+tab into the game... or switch to the friction task in the task manager and switch to it maybe?

there is a delay before it begins startup. I would guess it sits for about 10 to 15 seconds before actually "starting" and loading the game. probably to allow the system to load drivers and whatnot on startup. perhaps you are clicking "out" of the game to the desktop before it gets a chance to load and it's getting pushed to the background.

duno, just throwing out random things and seeing if anything sticks.

Yeah there is nothing to alt+tab into, I have checked.

And I've definitely clicked and just left it there to see what happens and unfortunately, nothing.

lilshawn:
perhaps you are missing a file or move one somewhere accidentally and it's freaking out.

if you can post a screenshot of your "Friction" folder and "base" folder, maybe I'll see something amiss.

BadMouth:
Did you install the directx 9 runtimes lilshawn mentioned? Newer versions of directx don't include the older runtimes. That would make the game crap out when it tries to render graphics.

Some emulators like Model 2 also use the directx 9 runtimes.
