You probably need to select the "MediaVPs 2014" as a mod in the launcher. That will let you play the retail campaign with upgraded models, effects, music, and more :)

Also make sure you've selected your monitor's resolution in the launcher. If that still doesn't do it, then please post your fs2_open.log file.  Instructions on how to do this can be found in this post.

That is not the MediaVPs.

It seems that FSO can't find the expected VP files in your MediaVPs_2014 folder.  Could you please take a screenshot of the contents of it?

Code: [Select]
Searching root 'E:\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Freespace 2\MediaVPs2014\' ... 37 files

e.g. mine has these files:

Code: [Select]
FSU-MVP.bmp  FSU-MVP_small.bmp  mod.ini  MV_Advanced.vp  MV_A-Glows.vp  MV_Assets.vp  MV_CB_ANI_1.vp  MV_CB_ANI_2.vp  MV_Effects.vp  MV_Music.vp  MV_RadarIcons.vp  MV_Root.vp  readme.txt

OK - those files are all still compressed.  You'll need to download 7zip, extract the .7z files and put the contents in the MediaVPs_2014 directory.

Glad it works!  These guys here are the best in the world at figuring this stuff out.
Maybe someday God will give you a little pink toaster of your own.
