lockon.exe Unable to locate component

Newbie Joined: Jan 23, 2008 Posts: 3

When I try to join a game in progress I get 'This application has failed to start because lua5.dll was not found . Reinstalling may fix the problem.' Been there, done that. Checking with wordpad reveals the lau5.dll in the Lockon folder. This is the online download of Flaming Cliffs with patch installed on top of the store bought Lockon with patch on WinXP. As the online download has now told me I have only two downloads left (Where do they get off?) I really don't want to try that again. Help!!!

I have the same problem. I am runnig Vista 32b. I solved this dll problems. I copied lua5.dll, lua5lib.dll and vorbisfile.dll to Windows\... and now I have another problem, when I try to join a game... HL looks like going well, but HL tries to open Lock On!\Backup_1.1\lockon.exe (then I have C++ runtime error)! but the right way is only Lock On!\lockon.exe! Why HL tries to open lockon.exe from backup_1.1 directory???

Here is how to solve it, Run HL and then press CTRL+SHIFT and left-click on the CONNECT button, Then change the game path from [C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Eagle Dynamics\Lock On\Backup_1.1\lockon.exe] to [C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Eagle Dynamics\Lock On\lockon.exe] or simply remove the [\Backup_1.1] from the game link path and it should work fine.

Ok here is how to fix HL appearance in Vista SP1, Go to [Program Files\HyperLobbyPro3\Skins\Default] and you will see a file called [SkIN], Open that file with Notepad then match the number of DOTS exactly like the following. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [Skin]
