Problem on mission launch.....
« on: November 17, 2005, 05:09:08 pm »
I can get on The Forge without problem. All the systems appear to work when a mission is launched, I just can't see my ship, the enemy ship, or stars for that matter. The screen is blank save for the controls on the left hand interface. Got any ideas on the cause and a possible fix?


'Hail Gurthang! No lord or loyalty dost thou know, save the hand that wieldeth thee. From no blood wilt thou shrink. Wilt thou therefore take Túrin Turambar, wilt thou slay me swiftly?'
And from the blade rang a cold voice in answer: 'Yea, I will drink thy blood gladly, that so I may forget the blood of Beleg my master, and the blood of Brandir slain unjustly. I will slay thee swiftly.'

if i remember correctly,this use to occur to some people,and they were required to re install  ship list and fighter list from op+ 4.0.can't remember if u had to re install everything.i think it stemmed from a prob with the ship chooser ?? but was easily fixed with a re install. if i remeber correctly.i am sure strat could comfirm or denie this

I just recently had this problem....the only way I can run the game is in windowed more...

In the SFC.ini file.....

check properties....disable "read only"

open with note pad...

go down to WINDOWED=0....change 0 to 1 so it reads WINDOWED=1

Close and accept changes.....

re-launch the game and see if that helped...

Have you edited the shortcut to the game as described in the patch readme and use this shortcut to start the game?

Yes to all....all systems report green and the USS JJ has left spacedock!

I think my dl of OP+ was corrupted...uninstalled, deleted, redl'd and loaded, works great.

The stabilizer program seem to have cleaned up the models a bit. Maybe I have been away for too long but they seem to have a bit more realism.
