Can't seem to get FS2 running
Well, I decided to try out FS2 and it isn't going too well. I used the java based downloader from here: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,42854.0.html and then after a few hours of downloading, I use the launcher to try to run the game, and then...

Error:
Web cursor bitmap not found.  This is most likely due to one of three reasons:
   1) You're running FreeSpace Open from somewhere other than your FreeSpace 2 folder;
   2) You've somehow corrupted your FreeSpace 2 installation;
   3) You haven't installed FreeSpace 2 at all.
Number 1 can be fixed by simply moving the FreeSpace Open executable file to the FreeSpace 2 folder.  Numbers 2 and 3 can be fixed by installing or reinstalling FreeSpace 2.  If neither of these solutions fixes your problem, you've found a bug and should report it.
File:J:\src\cvs\fs2_open_3_6_9.final\code\Graphics\2d.cpp
Line: 1526

Also, I use Windows XP, 3g of RAM, twin Nvidia 8600s in SLI... if there is any other info needed, please ask.

Re: Can't seem to get FS2 running
Did you have Retail FS2 installed before you ran the FS2_Open installer?  The installer only installs the FS2 open executables and mods you select.  You need to already have FS2 installed.

Re: Can't seem to get FS2 running
I was thinking that the downloader did all that when it said "Downloads and installs the game for you without needing to get the CDs." Where would you suggest I get FS2 from?

If you want in sooner than later PM me for a beta invite key.  Actually, if you just go to www.gog.com I think it bypasses the beta screen now.

Where does it say that? That needs to be fixed.

I get a 404 error when I go there. I guess that page is a lie and never ever existed. :drevil:
