 How 'bout my problem ?

How 'bout my problem ?

Go to the data folder and remove all .cache files, except default.cache (if you do by accident, use updater).

 You, Sir, are  the most fucking awesome being ever.

When I start the game, it goes to a light gray screen and crashes with no error message given. I reinstalled the game using the link in the launcher, but I still get that problem. I did that PatchDatPath=fallout.zip.

After looking around I found this: http://fodev.net/forum/index.php?topic=11085.0;topicseen I've got the same problem.

I actually followed the last poster's advice in that link, reinstall several times, and it works now.

" Lol, i just got this problem these times. Go to Data and create the Script file yourself. Like this ;

 data/scripts

Then, upload again, and now should work. If it work, comeback here and say so, right ?"
   

What does that mean? I dont even know how to create a script file...........

[Ganado]

Go into data folder, and create an average, regular folder called "scripts".
Or you can just do it this way: http://fodev.net/forum/index.php?topic=11139.0

Thanks a lot for the help, Ghoul and Dishonest Abe, I got it working again

[Sprainedkhyber]

I just installed and updated the game. But, I don't know how to fix the "Downloading data/scripts/client_parameters.dll. Size: 23 kb.
Unable to save file." problem. I don't understand how to fix it, or the "In the FOnline.cfg file, find the line "PatchDatPath=fonline.dat" and change it to "PatchDatPath=faction.zip". What program do I use to open the Configuration file? This is killing me because I really want to play.

Also, my graphic cards are updated.

I had the common problem that I could do anything but start the game.  However, I also couldn't uninstall the game.  I have no idea where the files are saved (they aren't in the folder I told the downloader to save them to), and when I tried to re-download the client it just opened up the launcher again with the same problems.

Installed to desktop. Took MASTER.DAT and CRITTER.DAT from my FO2 disc, placed in Desktop\FOnline folder.
Linked them to the game with fconfig.exe
Checked filepaths in FOnline.cfg, they are:
C:\Users\Aleks\Desktop\FOnline\MASTER.DAT and CRITTER.DAT. So they should work.
Created data\scripts folder. Updated. No problems yet.

Start game, see this:

Error log says this:

What do now?

[Ghosthack]

What do now?

Try right-clicking the game and setting it to run in administrative mode. Might be some issues with file permissions.
If that doesn't work, try using the new setup http://fodev.net/forum/index.php?topic=11139.0 and choose the option to copy master/critter dats in the installation.

Tried both. Still get that same screen.

I get this in the error log:
