BoB2 1440p Triples Windows 7

Post by manashttu »

Good morning all.

I have been enamored of this sim for some time now, but like many, suffering the travails of Win10 incompatibility. So I installed Windows 7 on a separate hard drive on my main rig just for BoB2.

Here's the oddity I'm encountering now: In Win10, I can run BoB2 2.13 on my triple Dell 1440p monitors (resolution 7770x1440--bezel corrected), on my 8700k and 1080ti. It looks fantastic, but have the dreaded random CTD and at alt-x. In Windows 7, I can run single screen res no problem, but if I run the 7770x1440---it gives English text CTD at clicking "Fly"--right when it is trying to transition to the loading screen/progress bar.

I would've assumed there might be a resolution limit---but the 1440p triples work in Win10.

Another twist---it works fine on triple 1920x1200 monitors on my old 3770k with AMD 580 gpu in Win7 (my work PC).

Anybody know an nvidia setting or d3d9.dll fix for Windows 7 to make this work?

Getting this sim to work can be like whack-a-mole---but it is just such a pleasure to fly when it works. It's worth a dual boot . . .

Thanks in advance for any help.
