Title: Getting Errors while trying to start a mod
Post by: Drageno on April 01, 2015, 11:20:36 am
Good evening guys!

I hate it that my first post on here is about having a problem, but i have searched this forum for my problem
and haven't found any solution to it, so it cant be helped.

So the problem is the following:
When i first tried to start Silent Thread reborn i got this error message below and was at first thinking that it
was a mod specific problem and intended to play another mod and got the same error. I tested a bunch of other
mods and got the the same problem. The 2014 mediavps for FSport and FS2open are also affected. The 3.6.12 versions
are running though.
I installed the mods and FSOpen with the Installer just a few days ago and haven't
altered any files so i dont really know whats wrong here. I hope that maybe one of you folks can help me :s

System Specs:
Win7 64bit
intel i7-2600 3,4 Ghz
8gb RAM
GTX 550 TI

You are using an out of date FSO exe.  You need to use a newer FSO exe file if you are using the 2014 media VPs.  I would recommend 3.7.2 RC5.

There should be no reason to keep such an old executable around, so it should be safe to delete.
