Topic: Final issues

Ok, two more problems, but when they're out of the way, I'll have a perfectly running mod. (With the exception of the Lok map, which lags rediculously.) Anyway, the first problem is that the single player mode is not supported, but I've seen people talk about it on the forums, what's going on with that? And the second problem is that all the servers in multiplayer are maps for base 2142, not FS.

Re: Final issues

Something has gone wrong with your install dude. Probably happened when patching everything while FS was installed.

Uninstall everything (yes, including 2142) then reinstall. Make sure mod install to the 2142 directory.

Good luck.

This problem sounds like a filters issue.  Set up your filters like so:

Re: Final issues

I give up. I've spent 24+ hours trying to sort this crap out and every time I solve a problem, another one pops up. I don't even know how to start to fix it. Here's my most recent set-back. Basically, after I uninstalled/reinstalled everything twice. I ended up with a patching bug in which the 1.51 patch stayed active even when I uninstalled, leaving the reinstalled game unpatched, but because 1.51 was never deleted, I can't re-patch.

Re: Final issues

I had that too.

To fix it I went into the registry and set the version 1.51 to 1.50 (you can see it listed in one of the 2142 files).

This allowed me to patch with the latest 2 GB 1.51 again.

Re: Final issues

Well, I got it back to the point where I had the same problems I stated at the beginning of this thread. I went ahead and took some screenshots to show you what's going on.

Since this says that SP is not supported, then I would suggest you have installed the wrong version of First Strike, and that would explain almost every issue you have been having.

You need to download and install version 1.5 of FirstStrike. Any previous version of FS needs to be uninstalled first.
