"Failed to read flag file" is driving me nuts
I am quite certain this has been discussed before. Whenever I try to load the launcher I get this message "Fatal Error: Failed to read flag file" The Launcher wont let me play game or access the the Features section.

I am using Launcher 5.2, I have all the latest Lightspeed's stuff and Media VP:s installed.  I have tried all the latest unofficial builds and none of them seems to work.

So if somebody could tell me how to fix this this problem or direct me a thread where this is being resolved.

Oh, and by the way. The Babylon Project 3.1 is working fine without any considerable problems. If you need any further info, just ask.

Are these three files "devil.dll, ilu.dll, ilut.dll" in the same directory as the the game binary?  If not then you can get that error message.  TBP should have included the same files in it's installation so you can just copy them from there into your freespace2 directory.
