Phase 2 Installation in Windows 7

Recommended Posts

I am trying to install Phase 2 into 64 bit Windows 7, but get an error involving MSSTDFMT.DLL. Can this module be installed, or isn't OFF Phase 2 compatible with Windows 7?

I managed to play Phase 2 in 64-bit Vista without any drama or the need to grab a missing .dll IIRC. To be honest I don't miss it, Phase 2, for all its many virtues, is effectively a feature-rich but early beta compared to OFF Phase 3 - you can see they are related but P3 is so very far ahead as to make P2 not even a good indicator as to whether you will like P3. 'Free' for P2 compared to $29.99 plus shipping for P3 may seem like good value, but it's not. Sure, postage from the US to the UK was not cheap but it's worth every penny/cent, I spent a LOT more on various CFS2 addons which I found were worth it; but even all of them together, didn't have half the content OFF has.

When Phase 2 was released, everybody ran XP, as Vista was not made yet. MSSTDFMT.DLL was a 32bit Module that everyone needed to install into their operating systems in order for Phase 2 to function

 

Therefore it's impossible to use Phase 2 on Windows 7 64bit

 

Recommend you pick up Phase 3 as it's a totally different code, that doesn't need that troublesome .DLL

 

I realize that could involve the VAT ( but just recently Spain changed a lot of things )
