Entering critical shutdown

What  I do see of the map is that all the ground is grey, all the sky is grey, then the game quits and I get this message.

I installed afreshinstall over the previous install of fleshstorm. THen I copied the 1.2 patch files into that directory. Any advice on how to make this work?

[Lizard]

I installed afreshinstall over the previous install of fleshstorm.

I think this may well be your problem, I just tested the same scenario and it worked fine for me.


try the following:

1) create a fresh install of BZ2

2) patch to 1.3 PB3

3) install fleshstorm

4) unzip the FS 1.2 patch to your bz2 root directory.


if you have to uninstall BZ2 first make sure you delete any left behind folders.

[Michael]

Unfortunatly, I am using xp 64bit.
Since bz2 has a 16bit installer, and microsoft took out support for 16bit applications(wow, they are really geniuses) I can never have a freshinstall of bz2 on my machine unless I install it on a nother computer then copy it over. I really should have stuck with the 32bit xp but oh well.

So i just took an install of pb1 and did fresh install of FS then patched it to 1.2 and it work fine. Thanks for the help.

Any news on why I cant post on the FS forums?

[Lizard]

I'm not the admin over at BZ2MD Fishbone is, he's not about much these days but if you email him he may be able to help you, he's usually pretty good about things like that, either that or you could try contacting Cmptrwz I think he has admin rights and I think Spawn does now aswell.


if you like I can post a thread up over there asking what's happening, what username did you try to sign up under ?


I'm glad I never updated to XP 64bit now, it sounds like more bother than it's worth. 

[Michael]

Yes, xp 64bit is a pain. Not to mention that microsoft INTENTIONALLY left out support for gameports, as well as decided to stop supporting their sidewinder joysticks. So I have this perfectly good Forcefeedback 2 joystick here, that I can't use because microsoft decided it was too old to support. It makes me mad to no end at microsoft. I just want to go to linux and be done with MS.

I posted abou some balancing issues on the bz2md board, let me know waht you think.
