Re: FS launcher problem

well there's gotta be something wrong somewhere.

@ Slimshiesty, i tried that twice. Didn't work did reg defrag, clean up, manually delete the left over reg files even the app. data in the hidden folder i deleted every trace and reinstalled, and FAIL sad
Thanks for the suggestion though.

@  Imperial yeah i know u guys tried helping me and I really appreciate it.
when i have my patience back i will try again if that fails i will install xp sp2 for dual boot and try it like that.

but i shall leave this post so if anyone has any other suggestion....

Re: FS launcher problem

I can't recall if they gave you it in IRC or not, but you can try get the registry details direct from someone else using Vista 32 Bit and BF2142 deluxe edition.

The path to his bf2142 is not being found in the registry by the launcher.  So something, I can only assume, is wrong with his bf2142 install.

O.k, the launcher is needed to update and to switch the shaders.zip.

Would this be a possible quick an dirty fix ?
-> Patching BF 2142 to 1.5
-> Copy the whole 2142 Directory and rename it
-> Download, update and install FirstStrike manually in the copy of BF2142
-> Replace the shaders.zip in the copy of BF 2142 with the shaders from FirstStrike
-> Start FirstStrike via shortcut

Re: FS launcher problem

We disabled the custom shaders a bit ago, they were causing more grief than they were worth.  So all it does is update, mostly.  There is no way to update manually, though.

Re: FS launcher problem

There is no plan to support manual updates in the future.  It's too complex to update manually with this update system.  Really, if your 2142 works you should just put the proper registry entry it's looking for in your registry (Gwynzer will hook you up with this) and it will work fine.
