Hello all, hope everyone is doing well. I recently bought a copy of Freespace and Freespace 2 on Steam, because i loved those games when i was younger and I still do. I started searching for something to up the standard video resolution when i came across the FreespaceOpen project, and i was quite excited.

I immediately downloaded it and started installing it, however several of the extra campaigns and such could not be installed and i didn't know why until i had a look in the FAQ's on this site.

I'm just wondering, is this a known problem and are there plans in the works for dealing with it? I have a custom setup for my Steam game folders and they are always installed on a dedicated hard drive, for example F:\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Freespace 2

I'm trying a little experiment, transferring my current Freespace 2 installation to the appropriate folder on my C:/ drive and I'm going to test and see if the extra missions install or not just as soon as i have tested if the program will load from the new location.

I'll let you all know how things go with my test in a few minutes.

Orion.

Ok, a followup to my last post, the game will run from the new location but a lot of the mods in the FreespaceOpen installer will still not install.

Here is a copy of the files the installer said had errors.

Well, I suppose the easiest alternative is to manually install FSO and all the mods you want to use. It may not sound convenient but it isn't very hard.

Thisisaverylongusername is correct - unfortunately we're having some problems with the FSO-Installer mirrors at the moment which is the cause of all your errors
