Title: Version: FIXME!
Post by: Sabre Tank on August 05, 2008, 05:10:12 PM
Exactly what the title says. What does this mean? It says this at the bottom of my Battlezone 2 login screen. I've re-installed Battlezone 2 5 times now! I think something might have happened when I tried to install Forgotten Enemies while I had 1.3 pb 4 installed also.

Did you try installing 1.2 over 1.4?  If so, I have seen that error from that.

Also, have you tried public beta 4a?

Okay, this is everything that went on...

I had installed 1.3 Public Beta 4, then I tried to install Forgotten Enemies too. I had remembered that 1.3pb4 does NOT work with mods. So, I thought maybe if I reinstalled BZII to get rid of the 1.3pb4, then F.E. would work. I then remebered that if you install Battlezone 2 AFTER you install a mod it will screw it up and it won't work. Thus the "FIXME!" error was born.

Its probably because you installed from the cd on top of pb4.

Pb4 works with mods, if the mods are designed for it.

I was hoping for a more helpful reply, but okay... How do I FOR SURE 100% COMPLETLEY SURLEY AND KNOWINGLY delete 1.3 pb4 for good. I was told that I would get better advice on why this happened here when I posted this on bz2maps.com. Can anyone just tell how to get rid of it?

Yep, just delete the folder you installed it into, that always does it well. :)

Which version of FE did you install?

FE doesn't matter.

If you install 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 over 1.3, you will get the fixme error.

NOTHING seems to be working! I tried deleting the file thing or whatever but it says it DOESN'T EXIST and crap like that! What am I supposed to do?!? I keep trying to re-install Battlezone 2 but it is doing NOTHING. I can't take much more of this...I'm so depressed. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

delete the battlezone II folder from 'program files'. try uninstalling it by going into

control panel > programs and features (vista) > then uninstall BZII. thats if its there.

if youve tried and its still not working. GET A REGISTRY CLEANER. try ccleaner.com for that one and run it


NEXT


insert bZII CD. close the autorun screen and 'explore' the CD. click the 'setup' application and it should go straight into the program install and you can install to another area on youre PC.

THEN

download PBa and enjoy. (without need for the CD!)

Before you run ccleaner use these links!

Or try deleting the folder in safe mode or use killbox or SuperShredder Although either may take a while but ive used both and very useful.

I don't know what happens to everyone else but when I install the game I can just go to the start button, find my latest install under "All Programs" and uninstall it from there. I never see it under Control Panel.

Be sure when you install game again that you install FE from Red Devil. Contact him for latest FE revision for the new patch.
