Windows Vista SP1 Problem

Posted: Sat Mar 22, 2008 11:56 am

After upgrading to Vista SP1 The Hyper lobby skins will not show, also when playing LO-MAC the game will connect to the server but will not allow you to choose a team, joining by IP is the only way I can choose a side. All issues started after Service Pack 1 install.

I was able to fix the issue with not being able to choose a team on my own, but I still have the issue with the skin not showing.

Edit: This error was caused when I changed the program compatibility to windows xp when I was trying to fix the skin issue. Turning the program compatibility off fixed the problem.

Hopefully I'll be able to help someone else that has this problem! I was able to fix the issue with the skin not showing up by editing the skin.ini file. It seems that when I updated to Vista SP1 it doesn like the ... infront of the target links instead I had to change all entrys that had ... to .. (Example (main.Picture = ...\common\background.gif had to be changed to main.Picture = ..\common\background.gif and so on) I had to do that all the way threw the skin file to get them to work again.

If anyone else has this error and needs help I can send you the files just PM me your email address.
