I Need Help Instaling .Bin Files!!
Nevermind then, it was just an easy way to check if a certain file got downloaded with out corruption, but I can't remember where to get the software.

Anyway, try what Karajorma said, a minimum install.

Download this file, unrar it to your Freespace2 folder. It will overwrite the files you have with the cracked no-CD 1.2 versions.

Basically it's the 1.2 patch and the solution to the asking for a CD problem rolled into one :)

hmmm I dont quite understand karajorma. are you saying I should add that file to the directory where im installing FROM or that it should go where I install  the game. cause if you mean the latter, then that wont work because it asks for the cd2 during install.

*EDIT: I attempted to complete a basic install and simply copy the folders before the installer could roll back when it couldnt find CD2, this worked. However, after I unziped the files from your rar into the Freespace 2 directory and ran the game, it crashed and displayed a bunch of error messages that were talking about missing files.

Im realy begining to think that nothing will work. I just dont understand though. Why is this hapening to me and not the people that are seeding the file??(unless they are seeding it knowing it doesnt work)

What I meant for you to do is do a basic install and then copy those files over the versions you have.

Now that I think of it though that may not work because now the game would expect everything to be on the HD.

Try that and tell me what files it complains about missing.
