If You Encounter a Projector or Monitor Error Message

If You Encounter a Projector or Monitor Error Message

  1. With FR1 Software NOT running, confirm that the computer is recognizing the projector and/or monitor in the screen resolution screen, accessible by right clicking the desktop. If not, please refer to the “blank screen during game startup" area of this section.

  2. Confirm that the projector and/or monitor are set to the recommended screen resolutions. This can be discovered by reviewing the user manual for the given projector or monitor. It is also highly recommended that the same type of inputs for all displays be utilized (HDMI, DVI, VGA, etc.).

  3. A "Direct 3D" error message indicates that the software is not properly configured to run on the selected game monitor or projector.

If this occurs:

  1. Disconnect (including any adapter) the projector or monitor that is producing the error from the computer.

  2. Restart the computer running only the properly working projector or monitor.

  3. Restart the FR1 software.

  4. If the error occurs again, repeat the above process but use the other monitor or projector this time.

  5. Once the FR1 software is running, go to the OPTIONS menu at the top of the MAIN MENU screen and enter the options screen using the password "fss01011".

  6. Go to the “Screen Settings” and select the recommended screen resolution for the current projector or monitor (This can be found in the user manual from the projector or monitor). Select the monitor or projector.

  7. Run the game to confirm that the monitor or projector is working correctly.

  8. Exit the game.

  9. Re-connect the other monitor or projector to the computer. Right-click on the desktop and go to the Screen Resolutions settings. You should see the two screens both plugged into the computer at this point. If not, select “detect” in the upper right of the screen, the computer may not identify the new display. Once both screens are recognized by the computer confirm that both are set to the manufacturer's recommended resolutions.

  10. Go back into the game, go to the OPTIONS menu at the top of the MAIN MENU screen and enter the options screen using the password "fss01011".

  11. Go to the "Screen Settings" and select the second monitor/projector

  12. Change the resolution to match the recommended screen resolution. You can try to set the game to show on the projector at this point.
    If the game still will not show on the screen at this point, change all settings to the lowest resolution settings (800x600 resolution).
