Hello,
Recently I downloaded and ran the installer for FS_Open. A very nice installer, took about three hours, then I started playing. The problems started to onset, but they were minor, and I could live with it, because in 3.6.7, the movies were always very small (like a little box no bigger then 30x50 pixels in the corner of the screen). The main two problems I faced:
1. Weapons in the Weapons Loadout screen looked horrific. Models appeared of the weapons, as opposed to the tech room screens.
2. The simulated voice did not work. In other words, nothing can be heard in the techrooms.
However, the problems seemed minimal. That is, until I got to the stage in the game where the player is transfered to a bomber squadron (Act II). I looked in the Weapons Loadout, and there were the same horrible looking weapons. Problem was, they weren't Cyclopses. They wern't Tornados. They were Rockeyes. Inststead of having 10 bombs, I had 10 Rockeyes. Clearly a problem. I restarted the game. I restarted my computer. I reinstalled Freespace 2. I reinstalled FS2_Open. I created a new player file. Nothing worked. The only explanation is that FS2 Open is glitched on my machine. (Running a Dell XPS with dual core processers, should be able to handle anything).
Thanks,
Dylnuge
PS: Sol: A History does not work for me either. It gives me an error saying that a file is refrenced on the creators computer. Since I know people have sucussfuly played Sol, I am wondering if there is an updated version anywhere. Thanks.
