Title: Problem with start up
Post by: jakejakereal on October 18, 2014, 06:37:00 pm

Hi, I just downloaded Freespace Open and I chose the complete installation from the FOSinstaller. When I chose MediaVP 2014 with the launcher it starts for a few seconds then crashes to desktop, I get this error.

mv_effects-sdf.tbm(line 31):
Error: Required token = [#END] or [$Species_Name:], found [$Countermeasure Type:   Vasudan CM] .

ntdll.dll! ZwWaitForSingleObject + 12 bytes

fs2_open_3_7_0.exe! <no symbol>
fs2_open_3_7_0.exe! <no symbol>


Any ideas?

to use MVPs 2014, you need to use FSO 3.7.2 or later, 3.7.0 is only compatible up to MVPS 2012 IIRC (it isn't compatible with 2014).

MVPS 2012

I think you mean the 3.6.12 MediaVPs.
