robarinodk 0 Posted November 18, 2001 I hear ya weird2u2.  Ive tried all the same things. Also considered the drugs to keep me battling with this problem! Bloody KT133 system or developers i guess we should say! Im still waiting for an official reply to this problem! But be assured all...I brought an original copy knowing full well that i could have just downloaded this game! Wasnt cheap either considering all the problems and upgrades, etc..im going through!! So heres the thing. Unless the developers sort this problem out before there release of the official addon....I will advise all exactly where they can download the official addon free when its released just to get some satisfaction that someone got something out of there lack of reply to this matter! Besides who´s to say we dont get the same problems with the addon after going out and buyiny that too?? Developers read these forums...they also know theres alot of people with this problem....why cant they just release a patch for us via kt133 users? RE: antivirus software.....have completely formattedand tried your solution too...still no goer! All the best!

vh 0 Posted November 18, 2001 I had problems with installing 1.20 patch (haven't tried 1.30 yet). After fighting for almost 24 hours with the problem, the patch finally allowed me to upgrade. Note that my solution won't probably work on regular KT7A board. My specs: Duron 800 Abit KT7A-RAID 256 mb Ati Radeon 32mb IBM 40g HD (not using RAID) Pioneeer 106 DVD 1.20 patch complained all the time that file sound.pbo was corrupt, even though I had tried every fix I could find. I believe the problem occurs because of the 686b southbridge, although I could never thoroughly confirm that. Actually, I'm not even sure what exactly fixed the situation, so I'll just write what I did before succesfully patching the game: -Install Via 4-in-1 4.35 drivers with 4A Abit bios. No go. -Switch both the DVD drive and HD to use the other IDE channels (orange on my board), which are controlled by the Highpoint controller. Still nothing. - Uninstall Via ATAPI driver (or whatever, the first driver installed in 4-in-1 pack). No effect. -Update my BIOS to version 64 and Highpoint drivers to version 2.0.1019. Windows couldn't for some reason detect my DVD anymore after rebooting, so I had to plug the DVD in to the regular IDE channel (IDE 2 IIRC, blue in colour, secondary master) - DVD shows up again. I disable DMA on both DVD and HD (done via the HPT370 device under SCSI controllers). I'm not sure if disabling DMA is necessary, because I didn't try installing the game at this point. - Disabling DMA makes the computer _really_ slow (even slower when the HD is plugged to the regular IDE channel), but the game and 1.20 patch installs fine. Of course, none of this would be necassary, if the game developers would make a better patch... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimtit 0 Posted November 18, 2001 Thanks vh for that. But unfortunately disabling DMA doesnt work for myself. The way i go round installing 1.20 upgrade was after it compained about the sound.pbo file, i copied the same file from the opflash CD (E:\Flashpoint\Dta) and overrid it, then disabled it as a "read only". The 1.20 patch worked fine then, but it did take a couple of attempts overriding the "damaged" files from the CD for it to work, but thats one posible way. Backing the entire Opflash folder (as 1.20) up to another folder, overriding the 1.20 sound.pbo file after the 1.30 patch complains doesnt work :/ After all, isnt 1.30 the real version 1? ;D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimtit 0 Posted November 18, 2001 Anyone know the possibilities of where i could aquire an extractor for the patches? i.e rip the files out of the patch so i can manually update opflash. Anyone? Thx in advance. Sorry but i'll ask this again, but has there been any official responce from BIS or Codies about this mishap? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robarinodk 0 Posted November 18, 2001 hey jimtit..... still no reply from which i know of!! The only place i can think of that you may find your extractor is www.G************d.com Goodluck!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gambba 0 Posted November 18, 2001 God dam, blasted Mother of all bastard whores! Since upgrading (Upgrade....yeah right!!) to 1.30 all it seems to do is shutdown to desktop, no error messages......just does what it dam well pleases! I tried just adding 1.3 patch and it said it was missing a paintball file and a DTA file, I had read that 1.29x could clash with 1.3, so I thought F**K it and uninstalled Ofp completely, then reinstalled it, well tried anyway! I have had all of the problems mentioned on this post, so I installed Ofp again, and tried to patch with 1.2 and now that was missing files~! Â So the way I went was to install Ofp then the Ultimate Upgrade (1.1) then 1.2 and then to 1.3..................and guess what it still closes/crashes when it wants!! I had no problems running any of the previous patches including 1.29x ............and in this case 1.29 was better than 1.3. Any Ideas? AMD Athalon 1.3 Ghz ATI All-In-Wonder 128 32mb 384 SDRam 2 X 45Gb HD Windows ME I've also had trouble installing the latest ATI drivers....anyone else?

octupi mgg 0 Posted November 18, 2001 Nice to see so many others are having these problems.... I was running 1.29b and upgraded to 1.3 the day it came out. Then I found out that by doing that, I wasn't able to use the LGB's, so I uninstalled the game and reinstalled. This put me at 1.20, since I'm in US. Now the faking 1.3 patch gives me the splash screen and then nothing. I ran the 1.29b patch again since it worked before, and 1.29b worked. Then trying to go from 1.29b to 1.3, same s**t...just the splash, not the progress window. I've emailed them form their site. You'd think they'd read their own fakin forum. Oct out.

Gambba 0 Posted November 19, 2001 As I said in my previous post, the way I got round corrupt files was to delete Ofp completey (except the user and Mpmission files) then reinstall Ofp then 1.1 then 1.2 and finally 1.3. I still have problems with the game but atleast it installed..........................I suppose???!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gambba 0 Posted November 19, 2001 Bump! No you talk about uninstalling....not deleting! Uninstall leaves a lot of files still in ofp folder. And the only reason I say this is because I had exactly the same fault as Unicorn, and it worked for me!
