Newby question/Help
on: July 09, 2007, 04:10:16 pm
I have down loaded the laqtest version from the site. But I do not see any change in the launch etc... I went to the main hall and saw that it was version 1.20, so is the new version already loaded or do I have to do something else? :confused:

I have gone to my program files and I do not see anything else. The launcer looks the same etc... I would like a little help here if you could. I have not played this in years and would love to see the new look.

I see fs2 but I do not see anything else (new). The down load said all of the files were updated, but I do not see anything new.

If you've installed the SCP you must run the game via launcher.exe not freespace2.exe. The latter will still run FS2 Retail. If you don't have launcher.exe you probably haven't installed it yet. Where did you get the game from?

I do not have an Icon that looks like a paw. At least not that I can see. I have done a seach for all of the files, and I do not see launcher exe.

When you run the installer..When it ask you to install openAL Install.Because you need it to play Fs2 Open.

Use the installer not the SDK.

well I have gone back the installer and tried to reinstall. It say that all of the files have been updated. That is good. But I cannot find the files when I go to brouse. I know I am close, but it is getting a little frustrating.

Any suggestions?

Chesticus

Launcher says find fs2_open exe. Now I have looked for this but it is not there. All of the files I have down loaded are in freespace2 file, but the launcher will not access them
