I'm sorry to ask a question I'm sure has been answered many times before, but there seems to be new versions of patches, textures, etc., and I want this to be as good as it can be.
I bought FS2 from GOG a year or so ago and did the upgrade to the newer versions then, and then let it go after a comp change, etc, so this is where I am now.
I reinstalled the FS2 from GOG to the C:\Games\FreeSpace2 directory. No problem. I am thinking the just released fs2_open_3_6_14.zip update is the latest and greatest update, and I've downloaded it but haven't run it yet.
Obviously I want the best texture and graphics pack, but don't know which one to d/l. I am also unsure as to the order of installing these upgrades.
When I did it a year ago it worked awesome, but there seems to be a few more versions, so I just want to make sure. I'm running Win7 64-bit, with a core i7 860 and a HD 5850 ATI card. I looked at CPU-Z and think I'm good to go with the latest SSE sets.
So can you give me the order of installation please? Much appreciated.
