“For those of you out there that have not tried the Novint Falcon technology, it’s one of those things that you simply can’t convey on television because it’s touch. It’s absolutely amazing I think it’s really going to enhance a lot of games.“ Adam Sessler, Host, G4’s XPlay

“There’s no question that the Novint Falcon has an opportunity to become a must-have controller for hardcore PC gaming fans.“ – PC Gamer

“The Novint Falcon is more advanced than any gaming peripheral on the market, period.“ – PC Magazine

“The limits to this are almost endless. Any game could integrate this into their gameplay system. And it would make a huge difference on how you would play any kind of video game.“ – CNET

Troubleshooting Advanced
When I opened a game, I received the following error message: “Can Not Open Video Device.” What does this mean?

First, make sure that you have not opened multiple Falcon games at the same time.  If you have opened the same Falcon game multiple times so that they are running simultaneously, or if you have opened 2 or more different Falcon games at once, please close all but one.  (Please note that this does not refer to N VeNT.  N VeNT can and must be open at the same time as any Falcon game).

If you only have one Falcon game open at a time and yet the error persists, try resetting your Falcon.  If this does not solve the problem, your 3D video accelerator may need to be enabled.

Procedure to verify and enable your 3D video accelerator:

  1. Ensure that the power supply is plugged in and that the Falcon is connected to your computer with the USB cable.
  2. Exit out of N VeNT
  3. Right-click on the Desktop and select Properties
  4. Click the Settings tab then click the Advanced button near the bottom right of the Properties window
  5. Click the Troubleshoot tab
  6. Move the Hardware Acceleration slider to Full
  7. Put a check mark in the Enable Write Combining box, then click Apply
  8. Restart the computer
  9. Be certain that the Falcon is connected to a USB port on the back of the computer and that the AC power supply is plugged in.
  10. Restart N VeNT and launch a game.
