HyperLobby Can't Find Installation Path

Posted: Mon Mar 28, 2005 5:16 pm

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!! Sad

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Evil or Very Mad

(Thanks for your thoughts, btw, Freelancer1)

~S~ Belay my last pipe!!!! Rolling Eyes

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!! Embarassed

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 ...

Many thanks, Jiri! I love the HyperLobby and was distressed when I could not use it for a while! Now all is well again! Very Happy
