Fear-51 0 Posted August 26, 2003 I want to know how many other people out there are having the grren screen due to the addons folder. I just recently bought the GOTY edition.. Installed it...installed the patch...ran perfectly...Installed addons (30meg worth) into the addon folder...everything was fine until I wanted to add alot more files...After I add more to the folder, when I start the game up the screen goes black for about 10 seconds....then goes all green.If I take some files out works fine again.so frustrating..I tried to reinstall 3 times...I tried to see if there is a conflict in the addons..nothing, it does the same thing no matter what is in there..... I have all updated drivers for my comp...my specs are: Windows XP home ed. Pentium4 3.0mhz 800fsb 240gb HD Soundblaster Audigy 2 plat. 2g mem pc-3200 Nvidia 5900 ultra 256mb Running Directx 9.0b Ive tried almost everything that people have said on this site but nothing works...Let me know if you guys have any ideas...

VASF_Killa_B 0 Posted August 27, 2003 Hi there, I get the exact same problem that you described, even after downloading 1.92. Â Specs are as follows: Windows XP Home OS P4 2.4GHz 533MHz FSB 512 MB RD Ram Soundblaster Audigy 2 ATI Radeon 9700TX Graphics Card 60 GB Hard Drive Running DirectX 9.0 Yes, this is an extremely frustrating situation. Â Exactly as you stated, once my ofp/addons OR res/addons folder gets above 30MB or so and I fire up the game, it takes several seconds longer to start up, and then I get the green screen. Â I can hear the music & the mouse moving over the selections on the initial startup screen, but can't see anything. Â I've tried Alt-tabbing, using MOD folders, using MAKEPBO/UNPBO to shrink my O.pbo file (along with other files) and just about anything else that has been suggested on these boards, but nothing has worked. Â I would love to be able to play with all the addons out there without having to constantly exit out of the game & add/remove addons from the ofp/addons folder according to what map I'm playing with. Â I thought 1.92 would fix the issue, and it somewhat has, since I no longer get "Memory map" errors, but now I constantly get the green screen when playing with more addons that I usually do (>30 MB or so). I guess all we can do is hope that enough people are experiencing the same problems as ourselves so that this can get looked into further. Â EDIT: Â and I am playing on OFP-R (I have the original OFP/Red Hammer/Resistance discs - I bought each one individually right when they first came out).

Placebo 29 Posted August 27, 2003 It makes sense to stick to one active "green screen" thread so use this one please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
