I have a pain in my foo:mad2:t, why does my foot hurt ?

[Bobboau]

why did you make three seperate topics in the FS _MODDING_ forum about general FS game failures?

[karajorma]

You can't keep making new threads for each problem Retro. Kindly confine all your problems to one thread and wait for us to have a chance to solve one before moving on to the next one. They could all be due to the same root problem.

It's a problem that happens with default FS2 in XP. It can be fixed by choosing Windows 98 or so Compatibility Mode.

Or upgrading to the SCP if that's an option.

how could i do that

Other than setting your account to not let you make threads for a few weeks*, nobody really knows. You should post these tasty little bits of info that might help someone who knows what's going on fix what you have no clue about.

Your system specs, including OS
Which FS_Open build you're using
What campaign and mission you were playing when FS_Open crashed
Why you're so goddamn impatient and objectionable
Any other applications running at the same time as FS_Open








*And by weeks, I mean lifetimes.

From my FAQ

The afterburner/energy transfer system has stopped working. I hear the sound but don't go any faster. What can I do?

This had many people purplexed for a while but turned out to be due to a bug in the FS2 code. All the cases I've seen of it so far have occured on Windows XP or Windows 2000. The problem can be solved for XP users by running FS2 in compatability mode. Open up your Freespace folder and look for FS2.exe. Make a short cut for this file and position it wherever you like (Desktop or Startmenu). Right click on icon and choose properties. Click on the Compatability tab and choose which ever mode you like (I've heard that Windows 95 works best but you might find otherwise). Use the icon to run FS2 from now on.
Since Windows 2000 lacks compatability mode I'm not certain how to solve the problem there. But running FS2_Open will also fix this problem as the bug has been corrected.

As I posted on the other thread

As for the question itself. I need to know what version of FS2 you have. Standard retail? FS2_Open? HotU version?

Tell me where you got it from and how many CD's/ how big is it if none of those terms mean anything to you.

Which kind of shows you why you should stick to one thread rather than spacing everything out.

A period is this: "."
You usually use it if you end sentences. So instead of typing the sentence below:

If you can help please tell me the solution I need help

Type like this:

If you can help, please tell me the solution. I need help.

And please use question marks (?), too.

[WMCoolmon]

Windows 2000 does have compatibility mode if you install something.

[karajorma]

It does? I'll have to look into that.

i have FS2 in Windows 2000 and have never had the afterburner problem...  it happens on my XP machine tho....

[StratComm]

I think there's only a select few who experience this problem under Windows 2000.  In fact, I can only remember ever hearing about it once.

[ShadowWolf_IH]

ok all threads merged by request.....retro...when you have a problem or question concernging gameplay...just go ahead and post in this thread.  It makes you look like a seasoned veteran when you do that.

[Retrosynthetic]

i have a problem trying to connect to the multiplayer. when i press the ready room it just crashes and close. all im trying to do is make a lan game

[achtung]

PXO has been dead for years now you have to use fs2.net.  Others will give more info. on this since Iv'e never messed with it.  Plus, you should have asked in your merged thread.  Your risking a serious butt kicking from the admins.
