I recently bought OFP GOTY and installed it. I was not able to play so I reformated my computer (I had planned on reformating anyways). When I installed OFP on my clean computer I was able to play the game. I played it for about a wekk then I left it alone. When I went back to play it It would no longer play. It kept giving me an error so I reinstalled and didn't upgrade and it would go to the Codemasters screen and not go any further. I then updated all drivers and direct x and samething. So I went to a friends house hooked it up and it worked and we were able to play via Lan. Take it back to my house and poof no longer works. If anyopne has any ideas please tell me because I am just out of ideas.

Why would it cause a problem. If it is thats understandable but the problem I have with it is that I was able to play it at a friends house with my computer but at my house it doesnt work. Its wierd. This is the error signature when I update my game to 1.96 AppName: flashpointresistance.exe AppVer: 1.0.0.96 ModName: dinput8.dll ModVer: 5.3.2600.2180 Offset: 00016324

the problem isnt that I am using the wrong update. its that everytime I install that update it brings up an error as stated above. When I leave it at 1.85 I get the codemaster screen when it CTD. And to answer the question above when I update the DXDLL is coming up as part of the problem.

I was using the update 1.96 for the GOTY. That would give me the error message. So I reinstalled and didn't upgrade (stayed with 1.85) and that gave me the CTD from the codemasters screen.

My bad bout the error message. It didnt say anything but "it encountered a problem and must shutdown." It didnt give me any specifics on the problem. I am positive I used the correct update but the wierd thing is that the error only occurs after i update. After a fresh install all it does is go to code master and then to desktop. Sorry about the lack of info. I have a: AMD Athalon 2800+ 2.08 GHz 768 RAM Radeon 9800 Realtec AC'97 Soundcard
