I can't even launch the game!
« on: 21-05-2022, 05:05:45 »
Hi,

The FH2 GUI asks me if I want to update, I hit yes. After a rather long download, I try to start the game and I get this error that stops me dead in my tracks:

(a Red circle with a white "X" thru it)

An application error occurred. Please contact the mod developer with the following information:

Unhandled System.NullReverenceException exceptions:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.


Stack Trace:
   at
FH@Common.|18N.< > c_DisplayCLass10_0. < GetLanguageBYEnglishName>b_0(CultureInfo ci)
  at
System.Linq.Enumerable.FirstOrDefault[TSource](IEnumerable 1 source, Func'2 predicate)
  at FH2Common.|18N.GetGameLanguage()
  at FH2Launcher.Program.Main(String[]argas)

and a little box with OK in it, which, when I click, closes the box.


Naturally I'm too technically unadept to do anything about this and need help--Please use small words: I need the "Penny" explanation and not the 'Sheldon' Explanation.

i think your lang is not supported so it doesn't know how to set it the first time
so you need to set it n english by default.

(then you will be able to launch the launcher and select an other language supported: french, english, ukrainian,  bielorussian, vietamese, ...)


Here how to do that

SOLUTION
Navigate to the game directory and then to mods/fh2/bin/. Launch BF2_Language_Changer.exe and select English language.

basically the solution is to change the lang of bf

Hi,
I had the same issue with the update but after that I found another problem.
Basically the game ends everytime I try to start it. It checks for the resolution (the same one I've always used) and then it simply go to the desktop without any message.
I also tried to run it like admin and to change to XP sp3 for compatibility problems but in no case did it work.

I also tried to "disable desktop composition" but if I do and then I launch ForgottenHope2.exe it remainds me to BF2.
What else can I do?
Thanks

In the launcher options/videos check "windowed mode" then try to play. I will show a popup error with a more explicit message. then you should be able to find a solution.
Maybe it's related to you graphic card driver (make sure to update them)

I still can't get the game to start; I even opened up my folder and 'redownloaded' and 'repaired' my game but still 'no joy'.

EDIT:

FORGET EVERYTHING I SAID; I found the language tab and changed it==Now, Everything works just fine-ish.  ;D

Looking forward to the next update, and hopefully some Pacific Theater maps.
