Where to start, problems launching.

There are 10 replies in this Thread. The last Post () by SWAT_OP-R8R.

    So I installed this mod this morning properly, I specified the FLMM path and let it run it's course. When I started the FMM Crossfire wasn't there. So I went into the Program Files folder to find it had installed outside of the "mods" folder. No biggy, drag and dropped it in. It appeared. I was happy.


    Then I tried to run it, and I got the start up screen, said it was downloading a patch, after several minutes (about 20 or so) nothing had happened, it was still on the same file (the first one).


    So I thought "Whatever, it's probably for multiplayer and I want to play SP" so I clicked on SP and the screen disappeared, there was a bit of a humming noise and then nothing. I played my DS for a bit, thinking it might just be another loading time, but after several failed attempts at Jumping Jack Flash on Elite Beat Agents nothing had happened.


    I deleted the mod, and then tried to reinstall it. Now when I activate it, and click "Launch Freelancer" I get:


    "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005). Click OK to terminate the application"


    This has not been a good day for me :(

    i suggest a clean install by carefully following the "Installation Instructions" in this CF Guide

    yes and if you update, you update. if you don't then don't -- I too get crashes when I try to launch FL before update has completed. IMO the possibility to launch "mid-way" should be disabled.


    I made a quick presentation of the maybe possible Launcher v2.0 :) I used the standard Vista Windows Explorer as a base for looks & positions. I think the result is pretty good :) And if it's possible to program it w/ Flash, then it shouldn't be a problem w/ C+ or C++ or VB whatever is used for programming (I dunno much about that stuff)


    Oh and BTW try the red cross (stop/delete) on the upper white bar :)


    oh and the buttons which say "click here" you need to click on the text -- forgot to make the whole .. ehem ... button into a button.
    oh and the "search button" on the upper-right would lead to swat-portal.com

    To play again click on the aforementioned Red "X" to Pause, and then press "Resume", which ATM works like "Restart"

    Looking good, anyway, reinstalled everything, am now using the FLMM that's on your site, but I'm now getting the error message in the mod manager:


    Error: SHCopyFile failed ('C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\Data\Missions\M01B\m01b_11.thn.flmmbak' to 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\Data\Missions\M01B\m01b_11.thn')


    This is a barrel of fun.

    magnet: next Launcher release already is in development. the "button prob" was already removed in that ver...

    hmm... I don't run as admin and everything's working.


    oh and Cluey, mmm... try re-downloading the mod, re-installing it in FLMM and do a clean install of FL.

    My Rig: Quad 3.0Ghz / 4GB RAM(1300Mhz) / Twin 260GTX SLI / Water cooled (18'C idle, 27'C max load), 1TB HDDs (RAID1) - system noise is less than 20 Decibels (barely audible).

    I also would like to do that... but atm this is not possible... or at least not without delaying crossfire release another month just to write a new installer


    on a good side ... i was able to activate CF1.8 in all FLMM versions that are mainly used
    -> FLMM 1.31, FLMM1.4beta and the new FLMM1.5beta (which still seems to have some probs)

    wait wait wait hold up... there exists a 1.5 beta even before 1.4 has come out of beta? wtf?
