Title: Installing FSO 19 into Knossos
Post by: Logrus on April 22, 2020, 11:04:54 am

So, I have Knossos installed to D:\Games\Knossos
And GOG's FS2 in D:\Games\FreespaceOpen
Knossos downloaded and later updated the mvp to current 4.2. But now it wants FSO 19.0
Question: where do I unzip FSO 19? Or can I somehow download it through the Knossos itself?

This seems to be a bug in Knossos... I'm assuming you ran through Knossos' setup and it worked correctly.

Go to Knossos's Settings (gear icon) and click the arrow next to Knossos to drop down that roll out. Check the box for "Show Engine Builds in Mod List".

Then go the Explore tab and find 'FSO' and Install it.

OK, I did that. FSO 19.0 now reads as installed, but when I click PLAY in MVP, it just briefly flashes "FSO is launching..." in search bar, and then nothing happens.
It's the same story if I try Retail FS2.

Restart Knossos and try again. If that still happens, click the dropdown menu on Retail and click upload debug log and paste the link here.
