Kudos to the Team for superb support efforts, even in a unique scenario. [:D]

XLegion,
It does make sense for you to scan your drive as soon as you have a chance, which might fix any bad sectors, and you should do so before Eric creates the .exe file, which is a time-consuming prospect. If your harddrive diagnostic tools fix a problem that you weren't aware of this might render the .exe file unnecessary.



XLegion -> RE: HOW DO I UPDATE FLASH!! (3/26/2007 2:59:49 AM)

Ok, here is the latest.

Checked my whole system for malware, spyware, virus etc...All clean. Got something called "Error Doctor" that checked my whole system and it was clean. Got another optimizer programe that examined my Windows XP set up and tweaked it a bit.

Result: Everything works ! EXCEPT: Forge of Freedom

Symptom: Game crashes just at the end of the loading procedure.

I tried someones suggestion of renaming the SOUND, MUSIC and VIDEO folders to default the game to start up WITHOUT any of those loading.

End Result: The Same. Crashes near the end of the loading up procedure.

I cannot understand this at all. ALL of my other games work fine INCLUDING all of my Matrix ones.

I can't tell from your post if you checked the condition of your harddrive itself. Did you do that too? That's what Eric meant when he mentioned the chance of bad sectors.



Erik Rutins -> RE: HOW DO I UPDATE FLASH!! (3/26/2007 4:37:00 AM)

XLegion,

At this point, just wait for the exe from Eric, don't put yourself through anything else until you get that. You've spent a lot of time on this already. We don't know what's causing this either but hopefully that will tell us.

Regards,

- Erik

Yes, just finished a surface scan of the entire Hard Drive. It took nearly 4 hours but it reported A-OK.



XLegion -> RE: HOW DO I UPDATE FLASH!! (3/26/2007 8:57:55 PM)

Some great news!!! I got "Forge of Freedom" to work!!!!

To make a long story short, after doing a 4 hr. defrag on my computer and still not finding anything I returned once again to Adobe Flash Player.

I upgraded it again just in case as Matrix mentioned. BUT, while on the site, I noted they has something called 'SHOCKWAVE' player.

I upgraded that program and now "Forge of Freedom" works. Allelujah!!  That was obviously it.

So please advise everybody to upgrade FLASH AND SHOCKWAVE they are two different programs.

Excellent news!

I just phoned Eric to head him off at the pass before he spent time on that .exe file. He's glad, too.

Enjoy the patched version of the game, then!



ericbabe -> RE: HOW DO I UPDATE FLASH!! (3/27/2007 12:20:01 AM)

Glad to hear it's working.  I'm a little surprised that any Shockwave components might be required, as on our clean install machines we only needed to add the Flash player -- though admittedly we contracted this out to a third-party and so I don't have detailed knowledge of what-all-is-in the intro file.

Another thing I'm still not clear on:  on our machines, when the right Flash components are not installed, the game does not crash but instead just shows an empty white rectangle.  Yet a few people have found that their machines crash.  I'm not sure why there's a difference...maybe it's a Flash-version related problem?



Longstreet_slith -> RE: HOW DO I UPDATE FLASH!! (3/27/2007 12:43:12 AM)

Hi Erik,

I sent you a private message, but will ask here as well. My game machine is not connected to the internet, so I need to update my flash with files copied over on a USB stick. I can't see how to do this on the Adobe Flash download site. Do you know how I can update my game machine?

Thanks,
Longstreet



Erik Rutins -> RE: HOW DO I UPDATE FLASH!! (3/27/2007 1:04:21 AM)

Hi Longstreet,

Got your message, I'm looking to see if there's an offline installer - I'm sure there must be, but I haven't found it yet.

Regards,

- Erik



Longstreet_slith -> RE: HOW DO I UPDATE FLASH!! (3/27/2007 1:14:20 AM)

Great -- thanks! I would think there would be a way to install this offline, but I could not find it. Thanks for looking...[:)]

Longstreet
