Mike thompson Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 I have tried over and over again to get this game to work but all to no avail. Played the first series to death, simple but fun. Have included my specs and would appreciate any advice. DxDiag.txt Quote
+russouk2004 Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 What exactly doesnt work?...what games have you?...merged install,? I assume you know that the game files are stored differently?,sf2 series is a total different kettle of fish as to location of files Did you ... Install all sf2 games, Patch accordingly Run them all once,to create game folders in ...C:\Users\XXX\Saved Games\ThirdWire you can run stck game from the exes,but if you add on any other items you will need to create the new folders. Such as terrains etc... check your games you install look like pic....stock ones first... Quote
Mike thompson Posted September 29, 2014 Author Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) I have been playing flight sims since F17 came out on floppy disk. My games are allways installed on a seperate hard disk in a folder called games. I currently play DCS and have most of the aircraft, also IL sturmovik from the original to the last release. I have F16 in three differing formats, in fact, including being a twenty two years practicing paraglider, there is little I have not flown. After installation, I press the exe, the game starts to load then shuts off, I have no idea why. I installed all the games in the correct order and the updates. Even just the original game on it's own, meaning without the separate one's like Europe, Israel etc ; fails to open. I have no mods, never started the game to do any. I run Avast internet security, the best. Edited September 29, 2014 by Mike thompson Quote
Spinners Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 Is the external hard drive the problem? Just throwing it out there. Quote
+Wrench Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) I run Avast internet security This is most likely your problem. Look around these forums, in the last week there are at least 2 different thread of Avast users having their SF2 game corrupted and destroyed Edited September 29, 2014 by Wrench Quote
Mike thompson Posted September 29, 2014 Author Posted September 29, 2014 No, my D. drive is a secondry internal drive. My external is just for backups. Will try turning off Avast and see if that works, Thanks to all. Quote
Mike thompson Posted September 29, 2014 Author Posted September 29, 2014 Avast was the culprit. Never bothered any of my other games. Admittedly this was a downloaded copy that had a win32 downloader trogan reported but it was a false positive. I'm pretty sure that Avast was being over protective, not a bad thing for a free program. If anyone knows where I can purchase the game legitimately, please do tell. I've tried and cannot find.
