Last reply for this thread (I DAMN WELL HOPE, GIVE ME 1/2 HOURS)
ok. ok ok ok. so basically i tried reading up what sse was, no forum is able to explain it simply

Actually, you should not use the 3.6.17 build that comes with the Blue Planet installer because it has a number of serious bugs, including one that can destroy your pilot file. Instead, use this build or the compatibility package. If you do use the compatibility package, you must use 3.7.0 or a nightly build; 3.6.18 will not work!

Also, you should absolutely move your FS2 installation out of Program Files and to a simpler path like Games\FreeSpace2. Not only will this help prevent the headache of needing to look for files in obscure and hidden folders, it will also prevent weird problems caused by directories being too long.

Both your "blueplanet2" and "blueplanet" folders (and, indeed, all mod folders) need to be placed in your root FS2 folder, not in another subfolder. I'm almost certain this is what's causing the crash.

That file does not belong there. Move or delete it.

Good one, Yarn. I hope MobileForce follows your advice.

Now if you want to know about SSE. Go here.

Generally AFAIK if your CPU supports SSE2, then SSE2 will be faster than SSE which will be faster than NO_SSE.

TRIED IT with 3_6_19_sse2bp debug. didn't work, spewed back the same shizz about 105 missing iconspaces etc...
tried it without debug mode, just crashed and didn't give me anything- just crashed- still didn't work.
if you want, use teamviewer, and connect, figure out wtf is wrong (still not working with the newest nightly.)

Sorry I just saw your last statement now. 

Do this:

Or if your computer does not support deferred lightning (i.e. you have Intel graphics), then you could take a recent nightly build, download this package and enjoy.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

I and Yarn already told you to go the compatibilty package way.

[Luis Dias]

Jesus Christ man, don't you ever put an id and a password for all the internet to see!

Also, correct your folder structures. As Yarn stated, put the .vp's from BluePlanet and BluePlanet 2 into their own separate folders.

you're kidding me, right? the compatability package is what i was using. i got the knigthly and the extra files. added them to the directory. didn't work. none of the damn exes.
there is literally a choice of 1: 3_6_19_SSE2_BP.exe. that is all included in the fso. compatability package is one file, added.
then using the other files of the fs2_open_3_6_19-DEBUG-20130630_r9699.exe
that crashes, too. i told you, go ahead and use the team viewer. It doesn't work neither with compatability package or the other package. Nightly doesn't work either. All files are in the sf2 folder. dun work. I cant help you, you need to acces my teamviewer or this will never ever work.

 fs2_open_3_6_19-DEBUG-20130630_r9699.exe is however, and that didn't work either.

Ok, sorry then. 

Try this build.

Also did you remove those VP's which Yarn told to and re-organised your Freespace 2 folder.

already done. there is no subfolder inside Freespace 2. now it looks like this:
C:\Program Files\GOG.com\Freespace 2\blueplanet2\
does it need to be in a folder called Freespace2 OR in a folder called Freespace 2 (WITH A SPACE?!?!)
currently downloading 3.7.0 rc2.
another log? is it different? I hope it changes everytime you launch the game and it doesn't work.

EDIT: Yeah the same thing happens with every single ****ing .exe i use. none of them work and all spew the same **** message. MIND ANALYISNG THE DAMN MESSAGE WHICH I WAS TRYING TO GET YOU TO DO IN THE FIRST PLACE BUT DIDN'T WANT TO?
jk, but seriously, at least try to figure out if this is the cause, not the .exe

because i downloaded an installation
didn't know you need blue planet 1? wtf? that's like buying crysis 3 but needing 2 and 1...
bp-combat.vp is all that's in the blueplanet folder under

There is not 1 vp. There are 6 VPs, 7 when adding that single VP you have. Re-install BP.

EDIT: Re-edited my post because I thought that it was going too abusive. Sorry MobileForce.

****!!!!!!!!! Are you mad?

but i never got bp1, only bp 2. ah bloody hell.
do i need bp age of aquarius?
where do i get the vps? i tried the thread
http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=68213.0
but it doesn't show me where the vps are
(hopefully in the installer)

god i seem like such a ****ing noob+newb right now
don't know how to do ****.
see this is where a video connection would be good.

[Yarn]

Yes, use the installer. Once you've done that, you may need to install the compatibility package again.

Also, after you reinstall Blue Planet, you should delete the following files:

blueplanet2\adv-bp2.vp
blueplanet\adv-bp.vp
mediavps_3612\MV_Advanced.vp
mediavps_3612\MV_AnimGlows.vp

Why? Because those files require lots of video RAM and support for very large textures (at least 4096x4096 I think), neither of which your video card has.

[Arpit]

Hopefully your problems have come to an end. Yay!!!! 

And you also taught me to check debug logs thoroughly. 

[MobileForce]

I'm back
with another error log!
DON'T BE AFRAID THIS MIGHT BE SOLVED ALREADY???


you see, i can't get past the intro in the campaign of AoA. It just turns of and leaves no error message.
lets try to take this step by step:
created a profile
took the campaign for AoA
clicked start/ ready room
the intro played (if you press esc it asks you if you want to quit this campaign)
then the game closed. that's it.
i can make a video if need, but here is the fs2_open.log (If that helps?)
