  • Error: SHCopyFile failed ('C:\Program Files (x86)\Freelancer Mod Manager\mods\Crossfire1.81\EXE\Freelancer.exe' to 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\EXE\Freelancer.exe')


    Name of the error in question and I'm too tired atm to figure this out, work in a few hours.


    Anyway, I have my AV disabled, I did a clean install following the instructions to the letter, and was also running FLMM in administrator mode on my operating system, which is Windows 7, and I can't seem to figure out this particular hiccup. So, anyone care to shed some wisdom on this bug and anything else that could sneak-up on me?


    Also, I hope this is worth all the trouble, since the last time I tried to get Crossfire was the day AFTER Microsoft shut down the servers (I'm a man of such poor gaming luck).

  • Well mate...


    that's usually bug of not cleaing the past FLMM with the mods properly...


    You don't need to isntall it all again, except the Freelancer. Delete freelancer, install it from CD, on FLMM (the same old one) on the "Tols" list, prss the button called "Restore backups", wait a little, and it will say that it deleted 0 files and directories, then you can activate the mod properly ^^
    After you press the button of "Activate" DO NOT Move the mouse or anything, if you don't move anything, you'll see the green bar advancing bit with bit, and not getting half blank. That way, you know it's loading, and how much is left, as the mod once installed is 4 GB big... it worth the work !! If you move the moue or something, the bar will get half white/blank, but it's still loading " don't get worryed about it getting blank and you don't see the program responding, it's just busy but working :) Unless an error code appears.


    Good luck ^^

  • Yeah that helped, but a little bug that really isn't totally inconvenient popped up. I can no longer see the start-up sequence. The Mircosoft logo, Digital Hammer logo, and the films no longer show up visually, only in audio. Hopefully there's an update patch for it, but as long as the game itself runs flawlessly I can cope :)

  • deactivate the visual designs of windows while playing... that will do it

    Don't discuss with idiots. They only drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience there.
