[QUOTE="gabpower, post: 295851, member: 7974"] Hi everyone. For about a year, I have a weird behavior from the FreeCamMod : - If I start the mod before the game, the game stays black and hangs there. The mod icon stays in the tray and must be killed from the Task Manager. Same behavior if I chose to start the game when the mod starts. - If I start the game without the mod, it plays fine. - If I start the game, then start the mod, it works OK, except that the cursor only works with the mouse so I can't use the joystick to navigate in game and I can't click with the mouse, the A button still work on the gamepad so I need both the mouse and the gamepad to play. So it kinda works but not as it should. Another thing that's been bugging me is that when I start the mod before the game there is no more Windows pop-up telling me that it's waiting for the Pinball Arcade.exe to start. I tried previous versions of the mod and the same behavior happens: no pop-up. I believe this is due to a Windows Update that happened sometime last year, maybe around spring. I tried every compatibily setting without success. I think it's either a compatibility issue or a dependency from a Windows service/program that's causing this issue with the mod. Maybe a Net FrameWork file or something like that? I'm looking for a manual fix because I don't want to reinstall Windows since it fully personnalised to work with my cab and would take me days to redo all the settings. I also like to find solutions to my computer problems since I work in this field. If anyone can pinpoint me to a possible cause I will continue my investigation but at this point I don't know where to look. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
