I had a heck of a time getting mine to work. I had to uninstall the whole thing, download the drivers from the site and install them and not the ones from the CD. I already have mine boxed up for return, it wasn't my cup of tea.

i live in Denmark so i can't get one normally but i know a dear friend in the states who are willing to mail it to me

the novint falcon looks awesome and they are adding more drivers along the way, what i'm afraid of if is if Novint will go bankrupt. They gave us 100$ off, so i was thinking they don't have alot of money left, so they have to sell some soon.
i'm really hyped about this machine and waiting for mine, but will it support games that will come out in 2012? will the company last that long? and with the global money crysis going around, nobody is really buying stuff like this, if they can live without it.
my 2 cents on this.

We're selling at a reduced rate to try and get as many people as possible in the ego community, which I am excited about. It's not to bring in money quickly.

I've been working on this for 15 years now, and Novint was founded in 2000, as a point of reference

thx, tomnovint

Speaking of the falcon, can we get some reviews or thoughts on it from anyone that has one.

I am certainly interested in one of these, but I want to know what sort of gaming experience it actually provides, is it worth the money, and what games are even supported (as i do like to switch around games a lot and would not want an expensive controller that only works for one, or a small handful of games)

Here's the first review I've seen on the EGO boards.

You can see many pages of reviews on our website at
http://home.novint.com/news/media_coverage.php

the most recent one is from destructoid - we get many many good reviews

you can see supported games on the games portion of our website, but we are also soon to release our F-Gen drivers in which you can play any game with the Falcon

thx, tomnovint

Don't run N VeNT when you use the Falcon in Steam games.

Download the latest drivers off our website (like you said, but make sure to completely uninstall and reinstall the drivers).

http://home.novint.com/support/download.php

that should solve the problem for you.

I got mine, it's great.
I love how I can run N VeNT and minimize, then use it to look at the forums :3

 

[tomnovint]

Does the Falcon have a driver for ccs yet? or does it work with ccs at all?

what is ccs (did you mean css - i.e. counter strike source?) counter strike source patch should be out soon, but it is part of a valve patch, so timing is in their hands.

thx, tomnovint
