Registry not where it should be (SOLVED)
on: May 16, 2014, 12:41:15 pm
I tried to change the language from german to english in the registry because of some smaller graphic-bugs.

I typed HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> Software -> Volition -> FreeSpace but there is no "Volition" folder, only "Wing Commander Saga".

What´s wrong?

Do you have FreeSpace 2 installed, or just Wing Commander Saga?

That's quite odd. Which launcher are you using?

If you're running 64-bit Windows, the key is located here:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Classes -> VirtualStore -> MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Wow6432Node -> Volition -> Freespace2

All mention of the FS2 registry key in this thread and the wiki needs to be amended with this information.
"Your fighter is running out of oil.  Please check under the hood and add more if necessary"
--strings.tbl, entry 177

"Freespace is very tired.  It is shutting down to get some rest."
--strings.tbl, entry 178

Awesome - thanks for that info, I've updated (one place in) the wiki with that info. (I can't update Jeffs post :()

Thanks, that´s the correct location.

But what is the key for the language? I don´t find an entry like "german" or "english".


Edit: I created an entry "Language" and set it to German. Now the bugs are gone!
