The definitive ofp installation thread

Recommended Posts

With input from Codemasters and the help of theavonlady I've managed to pull together information that might be useful in you want to do a complete install of all three games.  While I am aware there are several threads on this topic I've yet to see one that gives complete instructions (and no references to various FAQs).  Please forgive me if I've missed this in another thread.  These instructions apply to the American version of the original Operation Flashpoint Cold War Crisis, the Operation Flashpoint Gold Upgrade, and Operation Flashpoint Resistance.  These instructions are from Codemasters and tell you how to bring all three programs up to the latest updates.

1. Install Operation Flashpoint Cold War Crisis

2. Install Operation Flashpoint Gold Upgrade

3. Run Patch 1.46 (OFP_Upgrade_4v146)

4. Install Operation Flashpoint Resistance

5. Run Resistance patch (1.91) (OFPRes_upgrade_1_91)

6. Run Red Hammer 1.90/1.91 Compatibility patch (OFP_RedHammerUpdate191)

7. Run Campaign 1985 update (1.90/ 1.91 ) (OFP_Campaign1985Update)

These steps will bring you totally up-to-date on all three programs.  Hope this helps.  smile.gif

Additional Note:

If you did the 1.90 Resistance patch, Red Hammer update, and Campaign 1985 update at the time they originally came out, you need only run the Resistance 1.91 update.  You do not run the Red Hammer or Campaign 1985 updates again.

That's not definitive because if you have the GOTY Edition, the steps are:

1. Install Operation Flashpoint GOTY Edition

2. Run GOTY patch 1.91

And, optionally, for either CD, install the BIS Sopwith Camel plane addon after upgrading to version 1.91.

Wow, thanks Dadster and Avon Lady. tounge.gif This info might have been fairly well known to some, but for others (like me) it was hard going through a zillion threads and putting it all together. This solved a large number of problems for me. I backed up my Users file, deleted every other trace of the game, and started from scratch using the order listed above. Now it WORKS - able to add all the patches, sound works, video works, it's amazing. I have completed CWC and RH, but hadn't yet started Resistance due to the problems I was experiencing. Now that it works great, I am looking forward to a new campaign without all those bugs. Great info - thanks again. My only comment is to remember to put the correct CD in the drive when you add the various patches - based on the order of installs and patches listed above, you have to switch CDs once or twice as I recall.  biggrin.gif
