Taldrenites > Starfleet Command CD Key Issues

CD key expiry dates?

<< < (4/4)

Pestalence:
the folder is usually created next to your SFC OP folder.. uninstall sometimes removes it off of system, sometimes not.. just somethig to check... it is a folder name booboo but it is actually the SFC OP Patch folder
 

Holocat:
You know, now that you mention it something else happens that's slightly odd, from the way you're telling me to do things.

I always enter the CD key after patching.  I do this because when I patch, it reasks for my CD key.  I thought it did that with the 2525, but I can't really remember now...

Is a non standard directory still a problem?  I played GSA fine a couple weeks ago or so with 2525, but the only times i've played D2 was waaaay back, and then I had OP in the default directory.

Anyway, I probably won't be playing much until i've finished all the tugs i've brought upon myself to do,

Gamester:
Well, if you installed OP in a non-standard directory, there is a problem with the installer. Specifically, it does not update the Working Directory paths on your Start Menu.

For Example:

Let's say you installed OP in the following directory:

C:\GAMES\SFC2OP

If you go to the Start Menu and into the Taldren folder and Right Click on Starfleet Command Orion Pirates and select Properties, you will see the following:

Target: C:\GAMES\SFC2OP\SFCOP.EXE
Working Directory:        * Blank *

In the above example, you would edit Working Directory to say C:\GAMES\SFC2OP

Also, while you're there, you could change the target to STARFLEETOP.EXE to skip the intro movie which can cause keyboard problems in Win2K/XP

I know that if the working directory on the shortcut is wrong, the game will exhibit odd symptoms such as fighters not working and others. . .
