Title: Missing launcher
Post by: hkmp57 on January 20, 2018, 01:04:45 pm

It is the second time i've downloaded fs open. When i did it first time some long time ago, after instalation there was some kind of launcher to select mod and other options, and now i can't find it. There are some files like fs2_open 3.8 launcher but it's just launching on low resolution, can someone help me with that?

What did you use to download fs open? You can use fso installer or knossos  (you'll find both here) they'll get you the launcher as well as mods if you're interested

Well launcher 5.5 is deprecated with newer fso versions you'd better use knossos or wx_launcher 😉

wx launcher gives me program stop working error, and it's all set up like in 5.5 launcher

I'm not sure but perhaps wxlauncher has some dependencies like vcredist that may be the cause of your crash.
If someone could confirm?

iirc you need wxLauncher 0.12-rc2 to work with FSO 3.8.0.  Unfortunately that version is not in the "fsoinstaller", you'll need to download it from here: https://github.com/scp-fs2open/wxLauncher/releases/tag/0.12.0-rc.2
