Title: Launcher problem?
Post by: JaredFrost95 on March 07, 2013, 06:31:50 pm

Whenever i open the fso launcher i have this problem... none of the tabs work besides the welcome, features, and registry tab work. The mod, video, speech, network and audio/joystick tab all come up with nothing! i got fs2 from good old games then used to installer to install fsopen to the fs2 directory but i cant use the mods with this problem :( heres a video, change the file extension to .mp4, i couldnt upload it as an mp4...

The installer isn't working properly at the moment. Use these instructions (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=78710.0).

It might be that the mediavps mod.ini file is not setup correctly for your mediavps_3612 directory.

Can you please create & attach a fs2_open.log? (see my signature for details)

Here it is. The game still looks better than normal since the launcher has options for graphic enhancements (Resolution, aa etc.) but I can tell the mod isn't working because the textures are the same and there is no orange stream behind the engines of my ship when I activate the after-burner. I didn't make the profile I was using until I had activated the mod since I read you should have different profiles for different mods/campaigns. To create the log I just started up a mission with the mod on and killed some people then quit. I hope that is good enough.

It looks like your mediavps_3612 directory doesn't have any *.vp files in it?

Have you downloaded & unzipped everything from this thread (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=70736.0)?

Also, your graphics card drivers might be out of date, when did you last update them?  (from the AMD website, not via Windows Update)
