Hey Stubby
I modified my hosts file tonight so that I could play BF1942. I ran into this problem the other day with BF2 revive, decided "to heck with it" and did what the professor did (went back to a restore point).
Without thinking I launched FH2 w/o first commenting out the line in the hosts file. Now I get a black screen, unresponsive process, and have to kill the task.
I commented out the entry in hosts and then retried. Same thing. Debating on doing another restore back to this past Thursday. Probably will.
Questions
(1) if all I changed was an entry in the hosts file, then why did it jack up FH2 so that it will no longer work?
(2) if changing the entry in the hosts file changes an entry in a settings file for FH2, then I should be able to edit this and replace the entry with the proper one for the FH2 servers. I should also be able to create a back up of this so that, like the shader problem of old, I can replace the corrupted one with a good one.
Thanks.
