Why has the client suddenly decided that it can't find the executable file for my PF within my FB+AEP+PF merged set-up?! It worked this morning - I went to lunch - it failed to work this afternoon! Nothing changed at my end - I can still play single player with no probs. What's going on here???
Despondent HercMan!! |

Your not alone Hercman.
I've tried every install path I could think of and nothing works. Maybe because its asking for pf and the path is fb it gets "confused".
Anyway, please post if you figure it out. |

That link didn't make much sense to me - if I could get the search to find the game there wouldn't be a problem! And looking for pf.exe manually threw up a blank too - is it because mine is merged, I wonder? I only have il2fb.exe and il2.exe as .exe files - then setuppf.exe, otherwise no appropriate links. Thoroughly confused as one minute I was able to play - next I was out of it - permanently! Nothing else changed! I tried a total reinstall too - again to no effect! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Thanks for your thoughts, btw, Freelancer1) |

~S~ Belay my last pipe!!!!
When I updated the HyperLobby it appears that it self-selected "Pacific Fighters" as the game type (under "Connections"). As I am running the merged FB+AEP+PF game I needed to select "Forgotten Battles" instead - no further problems! It's always the "bleedin' obvious" what gets you as we so quaintly put it in this neck of the woods!! Rubbish in, Rubbish out!!

Heads up:
PF or so called Pacific Fighters is a standalone PF instalation having pf.exe executable and the HL room supprting this game is called "Pacific Fighters"
IL2FB, IL2 Forgotten Batles + Pacific fighters or so called "merget" instalation have executable named il2fb.exe (read: il2fb.exe) and the HL room supporting its called "Forgotten Battles" (read: "Forgotten Battles" not "Pacific Fighters")
Iam sorry for that. Its not my failure. I have commented that nonsens a time ago on this forum ... |
