I downloaded Freespace 2 via GOG and did not install it until I downloaded the Freespace Open Installer. Once I had the installer downloaded, I installed it using the zip Freespace 2 file from GOG. Everything downloaded just fine, except for the MV_RadarIcons, which I had to install separately. Once I had everything, I clicked on the launcher that looks like a dog paw. When I clicked on it, I got this Fatal Error Message "Failed EnumAdapterModes in UpdateAntialiasList". I clicked okay and the launcher appears (FS2 Open Launcher 5.5g). I followed all of the instructions listed and when I went to the graphics section, the only option is OpenGL. If I clicked okay or apply, it gives me this message "Failed to set graphic mode".

Not really sure what else to do at this point.

The "Failed EnumAdapterModes" error is harmless, but if you want a launcher that doesn't have known, irrelevant error messages you can try wxLauncher.

As for the other error, you might want to try running the launcher as an administrator to make sure it can set the registry settings properly.

I used the wxLauncher. Much better! But now I get this error:

Use Ok to break into Debugger, Cancel to exit.

Btw, I was using the MediaVPs 2014 when I received that error. I tried the MediaVPs 3.6.12 and I did not receive that error.

For MediaVPs 2014 you need Freespace Open 3.7.2 RC4.  This is available in the installer, once you've downloaded it you just need to select the new executable in the launcher.

outstanding pilot! It worked.

And thanks to everybody that put this together. What a fricken fantastic job the graphics, mods, everything is.
