Evening all, Well, despite my best efforts I've yet to get Crossfire 2.0 up and running on my old laptop that runs XP as the OS (Currently at SP 2. More on that in a moment). First off, the error that I get when I attempt to launch the Crossfire SP/MP update menu reads something like this;FREELANCER.EXE - Unable to Locate Component "This application has failed to start because MSVCR100.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." Hopefully that spurs a "I know what th…

Hello everyone! Apologies for the delay in getting back on here; been a busy couple of days. Firstly, thanks for the warm welcome SA_Martind Forlon! I've started combing through the forum discussion you linked for anything that might help get it up and running. Looks like that'll be a wealth of knowledge once I get things running and it starts breaking. First goal is to get it to the point were I at least get a launcher, broken or not. That said, there is a lot of info in there, so I may yet ru…

Good morning everyone! I upgraded my system to SP3, and per Silverfox's recommendation installed MS C++ 2010. To clarify on the C++ package I was using, it was 2008; that's the version that piggybacked with my 2.0 zip file download. With all of that, the installation seems to have worked! Now I'm running into an issue with the launcher freezing shortly after it fires up. From the link Martind Forlon provided early in this thread, it looks like I have a very similar issue to what you had, Wander…

Alright, good and bad news. The good news; I got the issue of the freezing/crashing launcher resolved after very briefly poking around the thread I mentioned above. (read/write access settings. Imagine that) Updates no problem now. The bad news; the game crashes after a few moments of sitting in the load screen that follows the opening cinematic. I'm fairly certain I've seen that issue crop up on other threads, so I'll continue to investigate as I find the time. That said, if someone happens to…

Another day, another installation. I've yet to find a solution to the issue of it crashing once it hits the load screen. I did a fresh installation of everything now that my system has all the tools to run the launcher, got rid of the opening cinematics to speed things up a bit, and removed the read only access on files, tried again. Still crashing. I'm going to step away from this project for the weekend as after a week it's starting to get under my skin. That, and I know it works without any …

Hi all! Sorry about the delay in getting back to this. A re-installation of everything on my laptop pretty much renders it useless for a few hours while it churns away, so I've been neglecting working with it during work nights. I've done a few clean installations since last posting here. To answer the above question I have made a point of making sure that saved games folder is deleted and removed from the recycle bin. I encountered an identical crash on my desktop when I set some of the shader…
