Title: Qucik Question
Post by: magatsu1 on September 11, 2003, 03:26:45 pm

Apologies if this has been covered else where, but when I attempt to open either FRED or FS2 open I get the error
"VideocardFs2open" not present
Debugger suggests using the RAR launch file (which I have) but don't know how to "activate"
Help please !

Hmmmmmmm....

I will assume you have unrared the launcher into the Freespace 2 directory....

Simply set the values you want in the various tabs of the launcher when you run it, click apply and click run, it should be as simple as that, in this case, you need to look most importantly at the Video Tab, I think.
If this doesn't work then there is some sort of probs with the Source Code build that your computer doesn't like and you need to be talking to one of the coders about it :)

Just in case you aren't aware you open .rar files with WinRar (http://www.rarlab.com/)

Actually I get the fault when I try and run it. I don't even get as far as preferences.

When you run the Launcher or the FS2_Open.EXE, if it's the second, that is what you are doing wrong, since you set all your DirectX preferences in the launcher, and as far as I know, FS2_Open won't run if you just run the FS2_Open.EXE file :) Also, download the version that RandomTiger has posted earlier and try that one :)

I might let it rest for a while. I'm still getting my head around mods, models and advanced Fred2 stuff !:shaking:
