At the beginning - sorry for my bad English. I have searched this forum rather carefully by using "search" function, but i haven't found anything useful in solving my problem with FS SCP. I have a strange problem trying to launch FS2 SCP. I have installed it by Torrey's Instaler, and when I try to launch it, I have an error message: "Freespace2/Fred2 cannot be run from a drive root directory". And that's it - no other error messages. Game isn't complying about video card, drivers, system specifications, but about... Fred2.
My configuration:
CPU: Pentium IV 3,00 Hz
Video Card: Ge force 6800 GS 256 Mb
RAM: 1024 Mb
Windows XP
Original Fresspace 2 runs without any problems, so what did I wrong? :confused:
-
1. It's Turey's.
2. Where did you install FSO? My Documents and the desktop are examples of bad choices.

1. I run the "spell check" function, and it change my Turey'a into Torrey's - sorry for that. Instaler is great, and it makes installing FS SCP a cake walk.
2. No, that's not it. Finally I managed to launch FS, by using "run" in the Launcher, but double clicking on the FS icon still gives me a error mesage.

You should be using the Launcher anyway. The icons are not the way to do it.

Well, I guess you 100% right - when I'm using Launcher everything runs pretty smoothly. Thanks for help, and sorry for bothering anybody with such a penny-ante question.

Call up the icon's properties option and check what it says in the Start In box. My bet is that it's blank when it should say C:\Games\Freespace2 or where ever you've installed the game.
