Yeah, I screwed myself up. I was messing around with the 'custom flags' field and I by mistake entered --spec_point instead of -spec_point. Neither the Launcher nor FS2_Open itself works. When I start up the launcher, it said what I would expect it to have, "Unrecognized command line parameter, --spec_point, continue?". I clicked OK so that I could just delete the first hyphen, but it just went to the classical 'Oh no Launcher.exe has encountered fatal error we're going to shut it down. Send us a letter telling us about it so we can fix it.' (I clicked don't send letter cause Microsoft has no idea what FS is anyway). Then I get "Failed to read flag file". When I start FS2_Open itself, it displays some errors. However, if I click my way through the warnings, FS works fine. However, I can't change any of my settings properly becase the Launcher won't start properly

Any help would be appreciated.

Have a look in the folder where Freespace is installed, you whould be able to see a file called lanucher6.ini, open in notepad, edit to remove the - save.

Hopefully the launcher should then work correctly

In fact that was the first thing I did when the error happend. Nothing changed.

Oh, it should also be worth noting that I was playing Inferno at the time.

Try removing the launcher6.ini and flags.lch and restart the launcher

NICE. that worked, thanks. I shoud've thought of that (I deleted flags.ich but not launcher6.ini).


Everything's fine.....
