Pretty much.  Why else would FreeSpace 2 be found for $80?  You can find it cheaper, but the $80 copies still sell, IIRC.  xP

Re: FreeSpace Open Installer! Download it now!
I'm having some trouble with the FSO installer and I'm hoping someone can help. When I click next on the screen that asks "Update Installed Sections Only" and "Say Yes To All", the installed just reaches a blank screen. Next is greyed out, but I can still click previous to go back to the aforementioned screen. I'm running on Windows Vista 32bit. Same problem with the exe and java versions of the installer. If it's any help, here's what installer_error.log.txt gave me:
Code: [Select]
java.io.FileNotFoundException: http://users.otenet.gr/~mecos/Development/Objc/filez/FS2_Open_Launcher/launcher_info.txt

Thanks in advance if you can help me out. I just acquired a Saitek X52 joystiq set and I'm dying to try it out with this game.

What files do you need... I have access to everything the installer downloads.

Have you consulted the manual? Haven't used the Installer myself, but I'd guess the "Update installed sections only" should not be ticked, if you are trying to actually install FSO.

Re: FreeSpace Open Installer! Download it now!
Hey Everyone, Just Registered for this problem i have (Sorry :P)

Its the same problem that Ajguy was getting, only i'm on Windows XP Home. I'm using the .EXE Installer. I've had a look at the Manual that was suggested, only nothing is wrong. The Firewall is excepting it, i have a strong internet connection, and its stopping at the pot that Ajguy mentioned.

I use to have Freespace on my computer (w/o cutscenes), only my secondary HD (A Desk Star, AKA: Death Star) crashed and the CD i have Freespace 2 on has holes, so i cant use it. I've also wanted Freespace2_Open for a while and when i saw this on WIKI i went for it. Now that the installer is working i feel like the universe doesnt want me to have Freespace2_Open!!!

Any help would be welcome.

Cheers.

Re: FreeSpace Open Installer! Download it now!

So, which do you mean? The Installer is working or is not working? If not working, do you mean that it simply won't download anything? If yes, then you are the third person today complaining about the same thing. Dunno what's causing it. Possibly something server-related. In which case it would be awesome to have Turey stumble upon here.

FS2 is available at Home of the Underdogs. Cutscenes are available at FreeSpaceMods.net. FSO builds, the Launcher, the MediaVPs, FSPort and so on can be found from the forums (and to some extent, FreeSpaceMods.net).

Re: FreeSpace Open Installer! Download it now!
Hi there, I'm also having the same problem as Ajguy and Ghail. A blank page after the part which asks "Yes to all?". Here's a screenshot: http://xs230.xs.to/xs230/08333/fsoinstall256.jpg

I upgraded to a new version of java yesterday. It might have something to do with it.

Re: FreeSpace Open Installer! Download it now!
Given the fact that multiple people have the exact same issue, I'm going to agree with Lobo that it's probably server related. This would be the first screen where the installer actually connects to the internet to get a list of all available options. Hopefully it gets fixed up soon.

For the record, I tried every combination of checking and unchecking those check boxes.

Re: FreeSpace Open Installer! Download it now!
Why not replicate that info file across multiple different hosts/servers, and have the installer attempt to connect to each of them in turn? I'm pretty surprised there's a single point of failure for this actually...

 
Re: FreeSpace Open Installer! Download it now!
Thanks Lobo, I have Open AL installed but I lost the link to their download page :) I like to keep little things like that on a disk either in case I need them or in case somebody else needs them :)

Blame Turey. He made it. His fault.

Creative have actually messed up their site a while ago. If you try to go to openal.org, you'll be redirected to some soundcard support page. Which can be confusing and/or intimidating to some people, even though there is an OpenAL link on the top of that page.

Re: FreeSpace Open Installer! Download it now!
Hey.  I'm trying to install this on Mac, but it is not working at all.  I pick a folder for the installation to go to, but then nothing happens when I get to the actual downloading screen.  Do I not have the correct version of Java?  How can you find that out on a Mac?

Thanks a lot!
