Title: Can't get FSport to start.
Post by: krist2 on August 15, 2010, 04:04:44 pm

I get into the menu, and I can choose "the great war campaign". But when I try to start the campaign, this error message comes. Is FSPort just compatible with 3_6_10?

Edit:
Hmm, seems to work when I choose the: fred2_open_3_6_12r_INF.exe in the launcher instead of fs2_open_3_6_12d_INF.exe

Since you've already run a debug build go into your FreeSpace2\data\ folder and find your fs2open.log. pastebin it and post it here.

That's fine. You're running a Debug build, which is meant for catching errors. This, however, is just fine and you can ignore it.

Select fs2_open_3_6_12r_INF.exe (the Release build) instead of fs2_open_3_6_12d_INF.exe (the Debug build) and you'll be fine. Or play with an earlier version of FS Open, or with the MediaVPs. Basically any combination except the one you're actually using.

For the grognards: Our missions are set to use starfield.pof but don't actually include it in FSPort core, so it will default to the retail starfield background.

This will be fixx0red in the next FSPort release right?
