Placebo 29 Posted October 18, 2003 Welcome to the forums, you have some catching up to do, 1.94 is out, in general it's best to take a look around the forums to see if there is a thread that answers your question, makes getting an answer much quicker for you. I'll leave this thread open for the moment in case it doesn't solve your problem but it should do in which case let us know and it can be closed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Consigliere 0 Posted October 18, 2003 Hey there...Welcome There's been a couple of threads about this issue, but I had the same problem, and I installed 1.92 and now I can run as many addons as I want Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted October 18, 2003 Yea.....but will i be able to play 1.91 games??? Not sure what you mean? But 1.94 should let you still play all your old missions and saved games if that's what you're asking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RN Tommy 0 Posted October 18, 2003 Yea thx guys...good to be here.....but what i mean is that...will i still be able to join 1.91 servers... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
russin 0 Posted October 18, 2003 the reason why he is asking about 1.91 is the leauge where in is on 1.91 and if 1.94 is not comatable with 1.91 it won't be much help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted October 18, 2003 Why is the league 1.91? That's no good, tell them to upgrade to the latest version If they don't then I'm sorry but you can't expect solutions that aren't there except for in the new patch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suma 8 Posted October 18, 2003 Quote[/b] ]will i still be able to join 1.91 servers Yes, you will. After installing 1.94 beta, you will be able to use both your current 1.91 version and 1.94 beta. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
russin 0 Posted October 20, 2003 if ya installed 1.94 will addons works with 1.91 ? Â if so id would install it as well straight away.. the league will upgrade to 1.94 when it is made offical from BIS also it's the end of the season for us 1 more match i think ill install the patch next week...

suma 8 Posted October 20, 2003 if ya installed 1.94 will addons works with 1.91 ? Â Offcourse not - 1.91 will be completely untouched and unaffected by 1.94 instalation. The only workarounds currently known for 1.91 are: - lowering AGP apreture size in BIOS - removing some addons - Advanced users only: unpacking some pbos (there is a topic about this created by Kegetys, but you should do this only if you know what are you doing, as it is quite easy to dammage your OFP installation this way) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr burns 132 Posted October 20, 2003 AGP Aperture size ?? great ! another hint to get my ofp runnin with the tonal island. since installing it (and probably 1.94) i have a lot of weird errors (green screen with weird textures at startup..). i´ll give a further explanation of my probs soon (it´s lunchbreak now ). Also i have big flashpoint.rpt and context.bin files...shall i send them to you, BIS ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redace 0 Posted October 20, 2003 I get the green screen too, at startup I get the 'FlashPoint' flash, then I can hear the music and can click on the buttons (if I can find them) but the screen is totally green! I've tried removing all the addons and still the same problem. I've uninstalled and re-installed but I haven't yet patched to the latest version. Has there been any fixes in the latest patches that may have fixed this problem? I'm desperate to play OFP again, I even went out and bought Ghost-Recon as a substitute, but it only makes me appreciate OFP more!!

suma 8 Posted October 20, 2003 Has there been any fixes in the latest patches that may have fixed this problem? Yes, there are fixes to this in 1.94 beta - there are several threads about this in the forums. Note: 1.94 beta can coexist with 1.91. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr burns 132 Posted October 20, 2003 ouw...this is a really serious problem u have there. do u use -nosplash & -nomap as command line parameters yet ? (note that nosplash doesn´t solve the green screen but get´s u rid of the flashpoint splashscreens) ---- Now to my problem. When i start ofp w/o the -nomap (+ -nosplash -mod=bas(all addons),dkm,goldmembersexplomod,hisky) command it starts well until to the menu screen. there the lower half of the screen is green and the upper half is clear blue, all with a big unsorted texture mess in the middle (hard to explain. i post a screenshot of that when at home). so there i am...can´t see the menu or anything. when i ctrl+alt+del out to the taskmanager and go back to ofp it is fine and i can play ofp. Using -nomap solves this prob but i´m still haunted by random crashes (even in the editor) when i use the tonal island. i know it´s not bis´ island and i´m not blaming you guys for anything...i just hope that somebody knows how to solve my CTD´s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theavonlady 2 Posted November 21, 2003 (note that nosplash doesn´t solve the green screen but get´s u rid of the flashpoint splashscreens) I received the following contrary post from an OFP player: Quote[/b] ]-----Original Message-----Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2003 9:26 PM To: theavonlady@theavonlady.org Subject: CAN'T MEMORY MAP Hello, I had that same prob as listed in the subject of this mail. I solved it by removing the -nosplash in the shortcut of ofp version 1.94 I tested it several times to be sure and indeed it worked fine for me. I could't find this solution so i thought let's mail it and c what happens, Better to much info rather no info at all System Specs: P4 3.02 HT 800mhz fsb 1024 mb memory 120gig WD HD 250gig WD HD GF4 TI 4400 128mb All watercooled BIS, what could the connection be?

Silverguy 0 Posted December 4, 2003 I got the same problem. I get a green screen, but I can hear the music and the sounds it makes when you move the cursor over options. I tried installing the 1.92 and the 1.94 Beta patches and STILL it had the green screen with certain addons. Does anybody else have some suggestions to try?
