floyd17 -> ERROR When starting game (11/13/2015 3:12:40 AM)

I get the following message after I click on the ICON to play game: FPRS exe - No Disk
There is no disk in the Drive. Please insert a disk into drive\Device\Harddisk\DR1.
I click on continue several times and then I can play the game. Is this normal?



IainMcNeil -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/13/2015 9:11:56 AM)

This is a new one.... :(

Can you try rebooting and see if it helps. There is no disk so it doesn't make sense on so many levels!



floyd17 -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/13/2015 7:43:18 PM)

I deleted game and then re-install with updates thru 2.09 and the games loads fine. Upload Germany Reforged and up date 2.0.10 and I get same error.



CapnDarwin -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/13/2015 7:57:21 PM)

Floyd are now in first place with the weird-never-before-seen bug department. You get the error only after installing Germany Reforged? Are you Steam or Matrix version of the game? What is you OS? Are you Admin on the system?

Some folks have had luck updating Steam over top of their current build (possible file corruption in steam or a Steam/OS fight). Running as Admin to do the install has helped some too. If you can open task manager and look for multiple copies of either FPRS.exe or autorun.exe and let us know that would be helpful as well.

Thanks for you patience.



floyd17 -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/13/2015 8:11:50 PM)

I have re-installed game with all updates. Game works fine. Install Germany Reforged and I get error message. As fair as I know I downloaded everything from Matrix. I will go back and check the items you listed. Thanks for the help



floyd17 -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/13/2015 8:13:07 PM)

Forgot I am running windows 7 professional (I will have to check) and I am the administrator.



floyd17 -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/13/2015 8:32:00 PM)

I am running windows 7 professional. I checked task manage and did not find any copies of FPRS.exe or autorun, hoped I look in the right place.



floyd17 -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/13/2015 8:41:10 PM)

I checked the Flashpoint Campaign Red Storm files and found these items:
autorun 11/5/2015 applications
autorun 11/5/2015 setup information




floyd17 -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/13/2015 10:39:22 PM)

I deleted the game again. Reinstalled with all updates(not sure I needed them all). Redownloaded Germany Reforged and installed. Same issue. I am out of ideas.



jwarrenw13 -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/13/2015 11:12:30 PM)

Same problem here. Installed 2.10 and Reforged using the Reforged installer over a 2.09 install both purchased from Matrix. Getting the same error. I click four times or so and the game starts and plays. 64bit Win 7 Home Premium.



CapnDarwin -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/13/2015 11:58:54 PM)

Can you two tell us if you have HP printers or any external hard drive on your systems? Thanks.



floyd17 -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/14/2015 12:10:59 AM)

I have a HP Printer plugged in the computer via an USB port



CapnDarwin -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/14/2015 12:15:35 AM)

Can you unplug the printer and retry the install after a reboot to see if the printer/driver is causing this drive issue. One of our guys on the dev team had a similar issue that we traced to the device. Could you also post your flashpoint.ini file for use to look at or PM me with it. We want to see if there is any strange drive entries.

Thanks.



floyd17 -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/14/2015 2:19:10 AM)

I reinstalled after rebooting. Did a new download and the games works fine with 2.0.10 update. But when I try to install Germany forged, I get the same problem. Did not find flashpoint.ini file. Might be looking in wrong place. Also how would I attach the file? Sorry to keep brother you. Thanks for the helpf



CapnDarwin -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/14/2015 2:41:15 AM)

Floyd, easiest way would be to send me a PM and just cut and paste the ini file info into the message.



floyd17 -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/14/2015 2:43:26 AM)

My email address is fwrehkopf@elpasotel.net. Might help if you would tell where to look thanks



CapnDarwin -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/14/2015 3:10:09 AM)

Assuming you are using the Matrix version of the game, the ini file will be in the games main folder.



jwarrenw13 -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/14/2015 3:37:59 AM)

PM sent.



floyd17 -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/14/2015 10:30:44 PM)

I have deleted game, reinstall basic game and all updates - game loads fine. Redown loaded Germany Reforged to day and same error appears. Only difference when I downloaded Germany Reforged was the game already had the key code.



floyd17 -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/14/2015 10:35:34 PM)

Also I have my resolution set at 1600 x 900 and test size is set to medium. Also I have disconnected the printer from the tower and the printer is off.



battlerbritain -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/15/2015 3:55:01 PM)

I'm getting this as well after installing the Germany Reforged. Fine after installing the 2.10 update, then downloaded the Reforged and am getting x4 error popups about couldn't find the disc.

I've also got an HP printer installed (HP Envy 4500). Printer is off.

And running XP (yes, I know, but I couldn't be bothered updating just yet.)




floyd17 -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/15/2015 6:32:05 PM)

I have reinstalled game and updates thru 2.10 and game works fine, at least it loads and you can start a scenario. I have restarted the computer and updated to Germany Reforged, restarted computer and tried the game: same issues. Maybe when my disk arrives I can try it. Am out of ideas. Thanks



floyd17 -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/15/2015 7:03:58 PM)

As notice that a screen shows up thanking me for installing Germany Reforged -Is this because of the lastest update or did I not get a clean uninstall. If I didn't get a clean uninstall please advise. Thankyou



Erik Rutins -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/16/2015 11:28:55 AM)

Could you all please check via Windows Update to make sure your computers are completely up to date as far as Microsoft is concerned?



floyd17 -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/16/2015 4:57:42 PM)

I have ran windows update and it tells me that I am up to date. I tried reinstalls and I get the same error message when I load Germany Reforged. When I get my disk hopefully the problem will go a away. I appricate the help, but am out of ideas. I still am trying to find the ini file, but no luck. Any ideas, could the file be hidden? Thanks again



floyd17 -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/16/2015 5:10:05 PM)

I have been able to down load the free download of a game before I got the disk.



CapnDarwin -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/16/2015 5:25:58 PM)

The Flashpoint.ini file is located in the game's main folder. If it is missing the game will make a new one. I don't think the ini file is the problem. Does Red Storm without the DLC work for you?



floyd17 -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/16/2015 5:36:39 PM)

Red Storm works fine until I load Germany Reforged. When I try to start the game after loading Germany Reforged, that is when the error shows up. I hit continue and the game does go on.



CapnDarwin -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/16/2015 9:45:34 PM)

Thanks. That info helps narrow down the failure point.



floyd17 -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/16/2015 10:12:35 PM)

NEW Proble: Received Germany Reforged DVD and I get this error: Failed to open output file. I tried it on another computer and get same error. Am I the only one?
