backtracking to 1.41
« on: 29-07-2011, 03:07:53 »
So I was just informed that the 1.5 patch for bf2 eliminates the bot ai from calling in air strikes and supply drops. I'm tempted to go back to 1.41 to fix this but if I do so, will it affect forgotten hope 2 any?

You simply wont be able to play online. But it will work fine otherwise - save for a limit in screen resolutoin.

I advice you do this instead:
1. Install BF2 up to 1.41
2. Make a copy of the folder and upgrade the one still called 'BF2' to 1.5
3. Now you can have Fh2 in the 1.5 version for online play and the one in the backup 1.4 for SP/COOP 


Yes, you CAN have your cake and eat it in this case  ;)

Hmmmm. No good so far. Bf2 is only updated to 1.41 but everytime I start fh2 it says error! Directx9c or better must be installed. I have direct x 11 installed and still errors.

I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think the version of DX9 that comes with Win 7 is complete, so even though you have Win 7 (and DX11), you still might need to update your DX9 files.

Well, I tried installing just as much directx stuff as I could find but I still get the same error. Before I uninstalled and reinstalled bf2 it worked fine with the 1.5 patch. But now at 1.41 I get the DX error. Perhaps its the mod?

Well, as of FH2.26, it worked fine with BF1.41. Haven't tried it with 2.3, so maybe, that IS the problem... Try doing a fresh install, it might simply be a faulty installation.

Oddly enough, bf2 works fine. But not fh2. So I think this helps narrow it down.

Well mentlegen. For shits and/or giggles I updated the bf2 to 1.5. Touched nothing regarding the fh2 currently installed. And it works. It appears sadly atm, 2.4 will not work without 1.5 installed :/

Yes. FH 2.4 only works with patch 1.5 installed. A friend of mine, he uses Vista 32 bit, tried it and the mod doesn't start (error message shows, that a DLL file is missng). You can switch to FH2 in the community section in BF2v, but ther are some more problems. If you want to use the server browser, it doesn't show any server and if you try to start a map in SP or Coop, the game freezes before finishing to load the map.

So is there a way to get 2.4 working with BF 1.41 ?  I get a missing DLL error - NovintHFX.dll - when I start 2.4, which appears to be from the 1.5 patch. 

I wonder if simply extracting the DLL's from the 1.5 patch and copying into BF 1.41 directory would fix it. I don't think I can install 2.4 into my 1.41 directory and replace the FH exe with the previous release exe ? I think the new exe has shader updates in it ?

It would be nice if there could be a fix for this ... an SP exe based on 1.41 ? After all we are modders .. why settle for EA's broken 1.51 so called "patch" ? I'm sure it has plenty of goodies for MP gamers but there are still a few SP/Coopers out there.

I am in total utter fucking agreemant with this man! Again, some of us ONLY play the singleplayer because of shitty internet connections and the like. We can make this happen!

Anyone out there have any progress with this? And on that note I'm really hoping a developer reads this. I would love to hear from a dev as to if this is possible.
