Title: Freespace is asking me to insert CD#2
Post by: Angry Villagers on June 08, 2014, 02:18:10 pm: Freespace is asking me to insert CD#2 when I click on the Hangar to start the game. I have a copy that I downloaded and installed from steam and it has given great troubles. I have the latest launcher, I have moved everything to C/games/whatever... I have also installed openAL. What next?

Do you have Launcher 5.5g or wxLauncher? And FSO? Build 3.7.0, or 3.7.2 RC2?

Sorry for the inconvenience caused by the Steam release. There was some serious botching going on in there.

I'm a bit out of the loop myself, so I'm not sure what improvements and such and such 3.7.0 would bring over 3.6.18, but I don' t think it's entirely necessary for you to start fiddling with that stuff now. The important thing is that you got things working and can get to playing this awesome game.

Feel free to ask if you encounter further issues or just have some questions in mind!
