Factory Complex Calculator: StandAlone v2.0.4.5 18Jun07: now supports 'Ashley's Fabs'

[Eroslight]

Hello, this program has been a great find, however, after using it on Vista for awhile the drop down menus stop working, not sure what is up with it, does anyone have any ideas?

When I first installed it, it worked great, but now once I pick something using the drop down menu (say, a race), all other drop down arrows dissappear. If I save that, close it and reload it, then I can pick one menu item again (say, the type of factory) and once again everything breaks.

I've seen the other calculators, this one was my favorite though being able to keep track of partial complexes and such. The online one I can't seem to save them, so it'd be great if I could get this working, if possible

Edit: nevermind, after days of not working properly it decided to work again

Sorries!

I am having the same issues except with Windows 7 64bit version now. I have tried compatability mode with XP and Vista to no avail.

Anybody have any ideas?

Wont work with Windows 7 64 bit.

Thanks for the recent feedback.


Was thinking : if I reply to this does it imply I'm going to try & fix win64 issues?

Don't have 64 on my PC & so that could be difficult.

So probably best to say that at some point this is likely to be re-written
to include TC (and win64 compatiblity) - most likely when the TC Bonus Pack bursts onto the scene.

In the mean-time, for TC or win64, it's best to use one of the the other
complex calculators linked in the Guides sticky (online or stand-alone).

Running Factory Complex Calculator in Win2000 compatibility worked for me.
Also using 64bit Win7. You can try different older Windows modes.
Right click on .exe file/ properties/ compatibility mode and choose mode.

Interesting timing for this to re-emerge from the deep depths.

Just got around to upgrading to Win7 64 bit & seeing the same probs. (disappearing buttons etc).

Mind you I can't see many being interested in this old util,
I mean who plays X3 these days ?

I do for one, and just built my first complex....

Mind you it only contains 2 stations thus far and yet I am still somewhat lost as to the apparent lack of profitability. I assume that I need to add more low level factories to produce my end product.

A working calculator would be a god-send.

Fingers crossed this is still a work in progress.

Glad you're still getting X3-R joy,
can't see this getting updated till Rebirth tho
Assuming it it's available pickle-free.
