Flatspace II doesn't work with Windows Data Execution Prevention, that's turned off by default on most versions of Windows but if D.E.P. is turned on, find Data Execution Prevention in your Control Panel and add Flatspace II to the list of exceptions.

The game starts up and I hear sound but the screen stays black. Can you help?
|
|
This has been reported on some Vista and Windows 7 64-bit systems. To fix it right-click on the main game application, choose properties, click on the "Compatibility" tab and check the boxes to Disable Visual Themes and Disable Desktop Composition.

I have a large black square that appears behind the mouse cursor when the game is running and also all graphics like smoke from guns and thrusters have blocks behind them as well. Is there any way to resolve this?
|

This has been traced to a driver error on some Radeon graphics cards. It can be easily fixed. Open the Config.cfg file in a text editor (eg. Notepad) and set the line "disableadditiveglow=true". Any glowing effects will appear a little bit darker but the problem will not occur.

I'm having problems running your demo of Flatspace. My message says the application failed to start because d3d9.dll was not found. Any ideas?
|
|
You need to install DirectX9 from Microsoft. Flatspace requires it. You can download it for free from http://www.microsoft.com/directx/. Follow the links to the DirectX runtime version.

Are there any cheat modes in Flatspace I?
|
|
Yes. The cheats only work in the full version of Flatspace I not the demo, and only in v1.07 or greater. As your name (the pilot name) type one of the following to activate the cheat for that session: Double Damage, One Million Dollars, Ten Million Dollars, One Ton Upgrades. If you use the One Ton Upgrades cheat, remember to enable the cheat before you reload a game that you saved when the cheat was active or problems will occur.

Do I also get sent a key by email when I order the CD version?
|
|
Yes. So you can start playing right away, a key is sent by email when your CD is dispatched.
