Tozmeister 0 Posted September 28, 2004 Shouldn't you have installed FDF into your /Codemasters/Operation Flashpoint folder? Which is where the the .EXE is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sniper_Panther 0 Posted September 28, 2004 Well ok when I launch I just go to desktop after "Pleas Wait..." with no error. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sanctuary 19 Posted September 28, 2004 You should try to launch FDF like a normal mod for OFP, without the FDF executable, but by using a shortcut like this <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">"...\Codemasters\Operation Flashpoint\FlashpointResistance.exe" -nosplash -nomap -mod=finmod what is in the place of the " ... " depends on where you have installed OFP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sanctuary 19 Posted September 28, 2004 So if even this does not work, have you been successfull to run any mod with OFP ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sniper_Panther 0 Posted September 28, 2004 Yes. This mod just shuts down to desktop after it says "Please Wait..." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m21man 0 Posted September 28, 2004 You put the finmod folder in your OFP directory ? And are patched up to 1.96? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sniper_Panther 0 Posted September 28, 2004 Yes. Then I get this when I play OFP:RES Can someone send me the dta files so I can fix my menu? FDF, messed up my menu Yes, I still need help with FDF. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m21man 0 Posted September 28, 2004 Quote[/b] ]FDF, messed up my menu You can just run standard OFP with the regular EXE, FDF doesn't alter any of the original files. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Madus_Maximus 0 Posted September 28, 2004 OK, one, (don't want to act like a mod here, but meh) this should be in troobleshooting. Two, try to reinstall the entire game again (ie OFP then OFP:R, then run the FDF mod exe and install it to the main OFP directory, which should be something like "C:\Program Files\Codemasters\OperationFlashpoint" and then when it's all done either do as said before and run it like any other mod, or just try the finmod shortcut thing. Looks like some corrupt/screwed up files to me. Also do the old driver update manouver too for your graphics card and so on... oh, and make sure you've installed the FULL patch of 1.96 (just to make sure more than anything, can get tricky with beta ones unless you're used to them).

Sniper_Panther 0 Posted September 28, 2004 No are you f'ing crazy? Reinstall OFP?!?!! 1. Lose 500 addons. 2. Ofp won't install again it will give me some ghey error. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Madus_Maximus 0 Posted September 28, 2004 Well then, copy the contents of your addons folders into new seperate ones so you don't lose them... or just keep the zip/rar files of them after you've installed them so you can reinstall them again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Madus_Maximus 0 Posted September 28, 2004 Well it seems (excuse my l337) fUx0r3d anyway, so what do you have to lose if it doesn't install again? Your problem seems to prevent you from using it anyway in any constructive way so you can at least try. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your problem seems to prevent you from using it anyway in any constructive way so you can at least try. No I can play OFP, just not FDF, so I have alot to lose. How do I know? I tried installing it on my other pc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Madus_Maximus 0 Posted September 28, 2004 Seems you have a duff or damaged game cd. So you could either a, see if you can try and get it replaced by asking the wonderful Codemasters kindly, or b, just go buy a new copy of GOTY because it's dirt cheap (which is good and bad, such a great game is so cheap people dismiss it if they've not played it! damn them!)

I asked CodeMasters, of course they said "Send 10 dollars" Heh, nope. I can't find OFP, in any stores. I see it be sold on the internet but credit cards are out of the question.
