lol 1000.00 bucks for use on a 39.99 game I don't think so hehehe Thanks

Before I buy Thoses wireless 3d Glasses that I had a coupon for that came in my Gforce2 box has anyone bought and used them in OFP yet? And if so tell us about it. Thanks

Hey my kid tore up my manual and wife tossed it out with the garbage(felt like tossing her out with it the dumbass)so I called Codemasters and they gave me a new cdkey. Thank God!! Worked for me......But hey I have the retail verson and I paid for it so be honest. And if you not Santa will fill you stocking with coal this year.

I tryed three different CD-ROM drives and a bunch of E-mails back and forth to Ron at CodeMasters and still it was a no go. He did admit that they may have some problems with the copy protection but still after I screwed up my hard drive and belive me reformating it was the last thing I ever wanted to do the patch did install so I feel it wasnt a hardware issue. Hey that drive had Windows 95, 98,98SE and WindowsMe upgrades on it so you never know what kind of crap was still lerking in the deep. May have just caused the right problem for there copy protection not to work. I wonder what other OS upgrades or clean installs are on the others systems having this problem? Hey Shodan is there local Pub around the corner from you cause I think a couple of cold ones have you name on them:)

I had all those same problems and while trying to fix it I screwed up my computer. So I had to reformat my hard drive and guess what...after doing that the game patched all the way to 1.30. May not be what you want to do but it worked for me!! Hope you fix it soon because your missing out big time.

Guess what I got 1.30 to install. But guess what I had to do to get it there....give up? I had to reformat my hard drive!!! Four hours to remove and reinstall everything but hey it was worth it. I hadnt formated that drive since 1998 so it was a lot of stuff to backup and sort out but now I am playing with the big boys..and girls lol Man is this a load off my back I need a drink see ya at the pub!!

Hey Cyrus22 e-mail Ron at codemasters with his name and FlashPoint in the supject line so it gets over to him. Hes helping me on this problem and you may have better luck. It might help him that both of us have the same problem and make sure you send him the dxdiag.txt log or he'll just ask you for it anyway.

Well the packs going to cost what 14.00 bucks or so? Heck I spent that much on the phone bill trying to figure this out. If it doesnt work then I'll go out and buy me an X-BOX for Chirstmas and give up on four years of PC gaming..... Sure will miss all those porno web sites....lol

Below is a part of an e-mail sent to me form Ron with Codemasters showing how importent it is for all of us to call or e-mail them about this problem...seeing that they have never seen this before.......... ( I am not ignoring your suggestion that there might be a problem with our Copy Protection, but we would still need to figure out what you have that is triggering it. Remember, we have sold an awful lot of these games that have never triggered any such problems) So as you see from above Ron is trying to find the problem to why the patch is giving me the "Insert Correct CD-ROM" message. And if nothing  else by the time we figure out how to fix it RED HAMMER will be out and take care of this for us.....I hope. Thanks Ron for your continued help

Hey I have that same chip set in my system and same problem. Did 1.29 install ok but no other patches including 1.30? I have done all the things you have also and its still a no go. I have been E-Mailing Codemasters  for week now and we go back and forth with system info DX info. They have told me on the phone that there limited with they Tech support about OFP because most of the guys didnt use the patches to see what problems can come up. I was advised the only patch they will support is 1.30 because all others like we know where beta patches. And because Codemasters didnt produce this game they where contracted to do the Tech support and marketing because of their larger companys support system which Bohemia Interactive lacks. I have as of today E-mailed Bohemia Interactive with copys of all the e-mails I have with codemasters and have asked them to get involed with this seeing they need to stand up to the plate and help to to repair this issue we all have about their patching software. If I get no answer then it only shows what type of company they really are and would be a sad day when software companys producing such an fantastic games like OFP really are just in it for the return on their investment. What a second thats what most companys are in it for...darn for a split second I thought some guys really liked coming up with this stuff and making a buck afterwards was icing on the cake. Anyway one more thing those people told me ..They wished more people would call or e-mail them about the problems they have that way they would find about them faster and could correct the problems. He did say they advise people to use the fourm also when there stuck. Hope we can patch soon I cant play online with the 1.30 ppl [CRS]BreakX<OS>
