Happy New Year People! Okay ,I need some help,It may be dumb but here it is.I have the FreeSpace2 Sim of the year version which is 1.2. I've used the retail mods fine some bugginess but otherwise fine.Now my problem my comp is older about 5 years [my new one was stolen]but it meets the requirments so.
I used the online updater for FSO back in Nov when it came out.Now the newer updater came out I reverted to retail and tried the JAVA one to no avail, I'm a basic user so the all in one is great. Now I've read most of the forum posts and have downloaded 3.6.9 and all the goodies thanks to Huggy,Hunter and others.Putting it together modularly and it works..Kind of. It first starts to shudder, freeze, gets going again and finally blinks to desktop goes back and flashes a runtime error message about Run32 C++ .I'm confused, the first all in one was great why change it,Yes improvement of the code But it worked fine and now i'm about ready to dump my pint in my computer.I have all the mods,Fred2,Launcher5.5 the guts on diskes and have a clean install. So how do I fix this,cause I got a bunch of Freded missions I want to play.
