The Launcher? Found somewhere in the start menu folder that TBP creates. Open it, open the Video tab, select OpenGL from the drop menu, as well as the resolution you wish to use. 1024x768 is the highest officially supported one. Higher ones can work but at least widescreen resolutions cause all sorts of graphical glitches that you don't want to see. Then, hit Ok and you're done.

Ah, yeah, stupid me. Thank you!

i have the exact same problem everyone stated about the installer freezing and i have a relitively fast comp (Athlon X2 dual core 3800+, 1024 mb of RAM) it did NOT silently install as i have checked this already. do i need 64 bit windows to install this? if so that just... well...... ill curse you out later   

EDIT: Nevermind, my comp was just being faggoty for some reason and loaded it now, you get to live another day

Hi,

why must there be an installer that will only work on windows computors?  Cant there simply be a dl for the files in a single archive for us non windows users to dl and move in a copy of the mac version of FSO?

Hi,

Run the debug version instead and attach the FS2_Open.log you'll find in your data folder.

[Devean]

OK, thanks. I'm attaching the file. If I'm reading it correctly, it crashed right after trying to initialize openAL... I'll try to solve the problem as described in the forums. But strangely I got no error message with openAL...

Edit:
It worked. Now it crashes at startup or during the intro... another error log attached.

Edit2:
I finally got it working. Funny thing - it crashes only in debug mode... However, if I use OpenGL, I get the intro, but can't see the interface. When I switch to DirectX 8, I see fuzzy pixels during the intro and in the pre-debriefing movies, but get the simulator and the interface OK. Is there any workaround? Also, the game crashes when exiting from the initial interface under OpenGL. But I can't get that far in debug mode.

And again the game crashed - this time during a mission (the first one) when destroing one of the Minbari fighters. Don't have the error log though - launched the game with the launcher. I'll try to recreate the error in debug mode (as soon as I get to the mission in debug mode...).

Moreover, all sounds and speech is playing through my external soundcard and speakers, save for the debriefing speech, which comes from my internal speaker. Why is it so?

And lastly a minor issue. Well, not much of an issue even. I have moved the Start menu from "Programs" to "Programs/Games". Every time I run the Launcher or the game, a new icon is created in the TBP group in  "Programs".

Hi, again

While I still cannot launch the game in debug mode, I figured out that all mission crashes were when the Minari cruisers where firing. Maybe it's something with their beam weapons rendering? What can I switch off to minimize the risk of the game crashing?

Can't install..

Installation complains about insufficient disk space on drive E: (WTF? I want to install it on drice C:) I don't get it.

FYI:
C: - 24 GB free, my games and data partition
E: - 3.6 GB free, windown partition

[hip63]

Trashman, it's because the the msi progammed to install to your system drive. In your case E.

hip63 :g

TrashMan, punch this in:

msiexec /a "TBP-Base-3_4.msi"

...Enjoy.  (I hope... don't ask how I found that out!)    Well, okay... I found it here, while trying to install Virtual Machine Additions on MS Virtual PC 2007 (DOS 7.10 installed), which M$ doesn't support... they only support it on VPC 2004.    I now have it working, and hope that this trick I learned will make you able to install to whichever drive you want.  Let me know how it goes.

I cannot edit tbl files being in B5-Core-3_4. When I tried to open them in tblviw32 and wordpad I got this

http://den5.pochta.ru/shipstbl.jpg

I had no similar problems with previous TBP versions. Any ideas what is wrong with this?

Somebody can give me a link on a all tbl files from B5-Core-3_4?

[Jeff Vader]

Try extracting the tbl files from the B5-Core-3_4.vp with QuickVP. Then open them with Wordpad.

[den5]

I tried. The same problem. No files work. Not inside B5-Core-3_4.vp not when extracted.

[jr2]

What's your MD5 for B5-Core-3_4.vp?  (See my sig, under Troublshooting: MD5)

[den5]

Ok, the problem is eliminated by means this program

Alternate hip63 3.4 Installer mirror (includes the 3.4a patch): here.  (Never mind the odd title, there's a reason for that.  Extract using 7-Zip and enjoy! 

EDIT:  FileFuss deleted it... Oh well.  I'll re-up when 3.4b comes out.

[Jeff Vader]

What's with the title ? Oh, never mind. It's about time I reacquired TBP.
