LoTekK 0 Posted November 24, 2005 Screenshots? System specs? And when you say you installed by copying the needed files over... You mean you didn't run the installer? You just copied the files over ad hoc? Doesn't sound like the most fantastic idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ade_mcc 0 Posted November 24, 2005 Appologies in advance if any of this sounds patronising, im just really curious - its an unusual error indeed! Does this apply to official missions or user missions? You're not confusing the 24 hour clock in some way are you? Clean instalation verses just copying over the relevant files sounds like a good idea, its probably just as quick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heatseeker 0 Posted November 24, 2005 Again?, reinstall the game properly, delete the OPF directory before doing so, move your mod folders somewhere else before reinstaling the game . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
action man 0 Posted November 24, 2005 Erm,erm, try turning up brightness and or gamma in options at the main gui when ofp starts. And also erm,oh yeah that's it,turn up the brightness on your monitor or summat like that If all this fail's why not just sit back,chill out and have a few beer's.P.S if you have to settle for the last option have a bbeer for me ,and not to worry santa may bring you a brand spankin new comp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BraTTy 0 Posted November 27, 2005 Bummer... I have had both problems. My OFP was always night once (like the OFP clock was stuck at midnight) I reinstalled to fix the problem. I also have CD3 of my GOTY with a large scratch and I still have to install my older reg OFP w/ Res addon Have you tried disk doctor (sometimes called skip doctor) to fix the scratches on the cd? Again buying another GOTY may be cheaper. Can you copy the files to your HDD? (keep retrying on errors) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
456820 0 Posted November 27, 2005 ive tired ive found a way of getting around it get the files needed which doesnt get read and make my own ofp CD with the remaining files which is needed but then i would get struck by the copy right data stuff on the CD which doesnt allow you to copy it im going to buy some CD cleaning stuff since ive also got one other game scratched not becuae i take bad care i take very good care, they just somehow get scratched im guessing i need to clean the CD drive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
