Fresh install of fs2 retail with 369Final and fsport 304. Intro movie plays fine. When entering the mission hangar, the game starts to load the first mission and then exits with this error before ever starting the briefing. Using Media VPs 368Zeta with the mp-710 patches. Attempted removing MOD.INI in case the MediaVPs were causing the hang - no luck.

Command Line options are:

Code: [Select]

Wait wait, are you trying to play FSPort with the main FS2 campaign?

[miskat]

Um... not sure if it MIGHT be the issue... but you aren't using the MediaVPs at all!  your mod is set to -mod fsport when it should be -mod fsport, mediavps.  Not sure if that's the issue... hell... could have been caused if that copy/paste was done after you removed the mod.ini file.

The directory capture was done after removing the mod.ini file.

Not that I am aware of - the FS1 Mission packs are in the FSPort directory. . .

I even tried removing the training missions from the FSPort directory - that didn't help. As a matter of fact, it made the error happen near the beginning of the load progress screen as opposed to near the end.

Have you selected the Port Campaign in the in-game campaign selector?

[mvmiller12]

Have you selected the Port Campaign in the in-game campaign selector?

That did it - it's working now. I didn't realize you have to change the campaign in the campaign room to FreeSpace Main Campaign. I guess the FreeSpace 2 Campaign is in the root FreeSpace2 directory and that's why it shows in FSPort. Oh well.

Thanks for the help.
