    OPF through Parallels on a Mac

    Thanks for the links! When I've stopped having to work evenings and weekends I'll get stuck in :) I'll post my config file when I get home, but for anyone stumbling across this post - I think the main issue is the display. If you can easily patch your game then you should get it up to the latest working version before running. That will at least get you to the point where you'll get error messages! If you can't patch properly, installing the resistance demo worked for me. After this I could patch the game. Following all this, errors will still appear until you run parallels in full screen mode, rather than any of the 'crystal' or 'coherence' options. I'm running it on an iMac with the 2560x1440 resolution screen, intel quad core i5. Runs absolutely amazingly when all problems are sorted! Thanks again for all the help :bounce3:

    Hmm my last post doesn't seem to have posted... but anyway, was still having problems until I installed the Resistance demo, which for some reason seems to have allowed me to run the update for the main game, which in turn allowed me to select "parallels video" or something similar in the settings, and now it's all working! And really really smoothly too! Thanks so much for your help f00bar, massively happy that I can play this again. Definitely grabbing a copy of Resistance of eBay too when I'm done with the main game again!! Cheers again! Matt

    Looks like it's writing to the Flashpoint.cfg file (I've got a first release of the game - no fancy Resistance or anything so it's OpFlashPreferences.exe) I have just the one SETUP.LOG file, the

    OPF through Parallels on a Mac

    Thanks for the reply f00bar. It doesn't seem that there have been any crash files generated - it must not get far enough into the process :confused:
  6. Hi guys, I'm not hopeful on a solution to this problem but here goes... I'm trying to run Operation Flashpoint on an Intel Mac through Parallels. I have XP installed and actually installing the game seems to go exactly to plan. When I come to run the game either on its own or through the settings, it shows the Operation Flashpoint loading banner thing, the CD starts whirring and tracking, (all normal so far I think) but then the process just disappears and I'm left with nothing. The same happens when I try to run a patch - I get the loading banner for a few seconds but then the process dies again. Really hope there's some help out there - I've been reminiscing about this game with a mate recently and when I dug it out of a pile of old games I got worryingly excited! :bounce3: Thanks in advance for any tips. Matt
