Need some help fh2 wont start.
« on: 01-08-2009, 05:08:13 »
Ok so i heard about fh2 from a friend and i installed. However after putting it on and firing it up the screen goes black (like its about to start up) and says:


         Shaders/StaticMesh.fx not found!!! _DO_ check your working directory, _AND_ sync your shaders folder before calling upon your local rendering programmer/GP. (really)

Now im not very computer savvy but i can definitely tell im not doing something right. It says sync shaders folder but i dont know how to do stuff like that im not really computer savvy. Any help would be much appreciated. By the way im running vista.

Um....ok i downloaded the file and when i go to extract it to the folder with winrar i get error messages that it cannot create. So i was wondering if there was a specific program to extract it.

No it won't.
What is the exact error message you get when extracting the link Torenico gave ?

The message i get is:

C:\Users\Quintin\Desktop\shaders_client.zip: Cannot create BundledMesh.fx
Access is Denied.

and it does this for every file just that bundledmesh.fx would be switched with whatever was after it and so on.

i guess you are using windows vista(or win 7) try running the extraction in administrator mode
and check that the file is not write protected

okay this is a simple fix. this is a safety pro cation vista/win7 uses to protect your os from your self.

extract the folders to the desktop and then drag to the proper folder, that will allow you to change the necessary folders. i still believe that you need to be the admin or it will ask for permission to do that.
