    Error: problem activating 'Crossfire Mod 2.0 Client Edition'
    Error: SHCopyFile failed ('D:\Freelancer Crossfire\EXE\resources.dll.flmmbak' to 'D:\Freelancer Crossfire\EXE\_resources.dll')

    https://swat-portal.com/forum/index.php/wcf/faq/#faqEntry-18


    still getting the same error while converting to crossfire
    has anyone a idea what should i do or not to do?

  • @Casius hello,


    please be sure that antivirus cannot remove/block files. This error message means that it can't copy because a) source file doesn't exist on place where should be = issue with mod installation (often caused by antivir)
    b) because it cannot overwrite "vanilla" file = issue with protected files ... it should not happen with new installer, but myself are sure there will exist PCs where it still can cause problems from various reasons.

  • it would be cool if we finally get more information on what the problem was

  • i dont know what the problem was
    i installed the game with mod twice and got this massage in FLMM
    Error: problem activating 'Crossfire Mod 2.0 Client Edition'Error: SHCopyFile failed ('D:\Freelancer Crossfire\EXE\resources.dll.flmmbak' to 'D:\Freelancer Crossfire\EXE\_resources.dll')
    while waiting in forum for answer i deinstalled/installed game again-the third time
    aktivated CF in FLMM instantly(the 2 installations before i always waited few minutes till i got the error)
    thats all i know

  • looks like the FL installation was not clean which caused problems with left over files during the flmm activation
