You should be able to find ALL PROGRAMS\ CODEMASTERS\ OPERATION FLASHPOINT\ FLASHPOINT RESISTANCE That would run version 1.91. You'll need that to play the Resistance campaign. Before you start either the 1985 or Red Hammer Campaigns, look for the 1.9 patches for each campaign on BIS' download page. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DO NOT install a similar patch for Red Hammer listed on the download page. It's included in GOTY. From the menu, the GOTY edition of OFP is what you want to play. The classic will run 1.46. Please confirm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theavonlady 2 Posted February 6, 2003 Resistance and Red Hammer are campaigns. You'll find them under the Campaigns menu option from OFP's main menu. One campaign is displayed at a time. To go to the follwoing or previous campaign, you'll see an arrow on the campaign page you can click on. When online with GS or ASE, you will only see servers that support the version of OFP you are running. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Innocent Bystander 0 Posted February 6, 2003 Forgot,the last question,i promise. About the GP-OFP-desert,winter,jungle zips i downloaded... Are there anything i need to know before extracting them? Do they work with 1.91? Will the new missions/islands/skins/vehicles show up in GOTY regular or in resistance?? ....anything i should need to know? You guys prolly hate me..but thx anyway!
