Stupid question: ofp:r original cd?

Recommended Posts

Okay, this may sound really stupid, but I'm gonna ask nevertheless.

I recently bought the Resistance addon for my OFP. After installing it when I try to start the game with the resistance cd in drive flashpoint asks me to "insert original cd". I can start resistance/ofp without problems with the (original) game cd in drive... Is something wrong with my Resistance Disc or is the Game supposed to run only with OFP:Cold War Crisis Cd in drive?

hope someone can answer confused.gif

For the shortcut named Flashpoint Resistance, you must have the resistance CD in. For the shortcut named Operation Flashpoint you must have the original cd in.

If I am not mistaken, there is a bug in certain version of Resistance CD, due to which Resistance cannot be started by inserting the CD and clicking Play, but you have to use Resistance shortcut from the Start menu instead.

If you have such CD, I think there should be a leaflet describing this included within the box.

Wow! That's the first time I've heard of this.

When did this start?

Is there a way to identify the CDs that are good versus the bad ones?

Of course:

1) if you have such CD, you see the bug is there.

2) if you have such CD, you should have the leaflet in the box.

Note: I may be mistaken in some details of describing this. I am not involved in the CD production, and it is already quite a long time since Resistance was released. If you need official response regarding this, you should probably ask Codemasters.

Me! Me!!

I had a leaflet.........

It all seems to work fine though, no such poblems as above.

What is messed up is the launcher/config thingy.

Just tried it:

1) inserted _OFP:Resistance_ CD in drive

2) selected "Operation Flashpoint Resistance" shortcut from start menu

3) "insert original cd"

4) eject OFP:Resistance CD, inserted OFP:Cold War Crisis instead

5) selected "Operation Flashpoint Resistance" shortcut from start menu

6) Game works.

Something is definitely wrong with my copy of resistance... I'll try and mail the distributor (cenega poland for the polish version) about the problem...

PS, could it be that the faulty CD causes FADE activation?

Im asking because i had some cases of crash+reboot errors with resistance.

Well, if you have got POLISH Resistance, the situation is different (I assumed you have international version, as nothing told me otherwise).

You need OFP:CWC to play both CWC and Resistance with Polish version.

sorry to hijack the thread, but i have similar yet interesting "bug"

when I pop OFPR CD in CD drive, the Autodrive(?) function kicks in and pops the window with OFPR options(Play, Install/Uninstall, exit, and etc.)

when i click on "play" with mouse, it plays ok. however, if I use Tab key and move around to "Play" button and press "enter" key, the BSOD comes out.

not a big problem, since OFPR doesn't comeout of CD tray often, but just curious.

edit: retested. somhow it's working ok...i swear to god that this happened before. confused.gif
