Checkfile errors on merged.pbo, data, data3d

[RN Malboeuf 12]

a few of us have the merged.pbo and data3d.pbo and data.pbo errors

I found out the problem with closer looking

Error was Res\Dta\HWTL\Merged.pbo

the files were just missing from, actually the whole folder was missing

C:\Program Files\Codemasters\OperationFlashpoint\Res\Dta\HWTL

C:\Program Files\Codemasters\OperationFlashpoint\Res\Dta\HWTL\Merged.pbo

C:\Program Files\Codemasters\OperationFlashpoint\Res\Dta\HWTL\Data.pbo

C:\Program Files\Codemasters\OperationFlashpoint\Res\Dta\HWTL\Data3D.pbo

I never had the folder what so ever

yet OFP still works now I still had these files they are here

C:\Program Files\Codemasters\OperationFlashpoint\Dta\HWTL

C:\Program Files\Codemasters\OperationFlashpoint\Dta\HWTL\Merged.pbo

C:\Program Files\Codemasters\OperationFlashpoint\Dta\HWTL\Data.pbo

C:\Program Files\Codemasters\OperationFlashpoint\Dta\HWTL\Data3D.pbo

now as to why these files are missing i dont know, but I used the Citadel and the ETA server that checks for this to clue me in

I copied the files to the res folder and the merged.pbo worked but on the ETA Server the other 2 failed

so i got a freind to send me the RES folder and every thing worked

you can check my data by simply moving out the following folder and runing OFP and loggin on to the Citadel or ETA server.

C:\Program Files\Codemasters\OperationFlashpoint\Res\Dta\HWTL

you will find that the files fail because they are simply not there.

as to why I don't know but serveral players have this problem and its possible this is why, with two folders containing the same files confuses me, but OFP will still work fine

you can check my results, you'll find them corect

I would not recommend removing those files, at least when you are using D3D HW T&L...

so i got a freind to send me the RES folder and every thing worked

Why didn't you simply copy them from your Res CD?

thats just it, they are not on my RES CD as well, I have my old load of OFP that I have had for over year that has all the addons in it and it does not contain that folder as well

Im thinking we got a fubar'd batch of CDs be cause there is a few of us like this, the game works fine with out the folder there, it just reverts to the non RES folder

by removing them i ment only to test for the error, other then that i think the files should be there
