Another Steam rip off
Why would a company knowingly sell you a lemon? Actually quite a few lemons...Well steam?

Works fine for me. The system requirements are listed on the page, so no, they're not doing anything illegal - but really, if you had the tech savvy (or simply the ability to search through forums other than Steam), you'd be able to get it to work. It's not hard.

If you haven't installed FSO from scp.indiegames.us, do so. If you have and it still crashes or whatever, try XP compatibility modes, disabling desktop composition and themes, running as admin, etc.

dude the point is we shouldnt have to go through all this modding and a bunch of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to play a damn game we bought. they are the ones that sold it to people like this. its up to them to fix it not us. what you said is stupid, its like saying if you go to a store and you buy a brand new computer, you take it home and set it up and boom it doesnt work. well from what you are saying it wouldnt be the manufacturers fault or the store for selling you faulty equipment, it would be your fault. which is just idiotic to say. so shut your stupid ass up and return to watching your porn in your mothers basement you dumbass!!!
lol. "They" did fix it, but it's up to you to apply the fix, ya tool. That registration file you inserted/"executed"? That fixed your problem, right? That's no more complicated than downloading and using an FSO executable.

And also lol-worthy is how you went on about how you shouldn't have to "go thrugh all this modding" - then you explain a registration-editing process, which is WAY more involved than anything that has to do with installing FSO.

But, I'm unfollowing this thread now, since everyone who was whining before now has nothing to whine about.

Sorry to derail you guys' thread, but I feel I should clarify something.

Yet thse other guys were telling me to go through an ordeal with a third party, and all you had to do was add FS2 to your registry... easy fix.
The problem is that when FS2 came out on Steam, THIS FIX DIDN'T EXIST. In fact, it took us a few days to diagnose just what was wrong with the Steam version, since installing from CDs or GoG apparently worked. Installing FSO through the automated installer was simply the easiest fix around back then, especially since no one wants to ♥♥♥♥ around editing registry key or ♥♥♥♥ like that.

Although I love how Interplay provided that fix, but still didn't automate it (forcing people to go to their game folder & apply it themselves), or, you know, tell their customers about it. Seriously, we're lucky that someone took a look at their Freespace 2 folder & noticed the new file.

I any case, glad you are finally able to play :).
If you find yourself wanting more after finishing the game, you should check out the mods. A lot of them are really cool and installing mods is a trivial matter nowadays.

It's amazing that some of you are so lazy that you buy games from a thrid party DRM like steam when youd don't need to, then blame the company for your difficulties installing the game w/ steam.

no what is amazing is the level of stupidity of some of you people. when you buy a game, its should ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ work point blank. no matter where the hell you buy it from. from the first moment the damn thing installs you should be able to click it and play it. so people are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that it wasnt working. so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ what, they have every right to because they bought the damn thing. what steam should do is test the ♥♥♥♥ out first before they sell it to people and make them fix it thierselves. im not a damn game developer and im not the one selling the damn thing so i shouldnt have to go through all this ♥♥♥♥ just to play the damn thing. it is their resonsiblity as a supplier to make sure thier ♥♥♥♥ works before they give it to the consumer. I own my own business and thats how you run one. when you let them get away with crap like this they will keep doing it. its up to you guys to make your voice heard and say "hey im not going to take this ♥♥♥♥, steam get your ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ together and stop selling us ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that doesnt work without having to do all the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to it ourselves!!!"

I deffo agree with you Dragon but no need to excoriate those who are only trying to help others tbh :-)

And FSO really is the bee's knees! :balloonicorn:
Dragon God 2014 年 6 月 21 日 下午 5:43 
and i can understand that. but that wasnt his point. his point was is that he was pissed that he bought a game and it didnt work. which i have seen happening more and more on here. i know you guys want to help cuz the mod fixes everything, my point is we as a consumer should not have to jump through hoops and download mods and search through folders like i did to fix it. the games should work the day they come out period. at least i found out it was something simple, but we shouldnt have to go into a folder and double click a .reg file that should have been put into the computer automatically when the game was installed. lol i mean god its just lazy that they do crap like that and one day stupid little crap like that will lead to the downfall of PC gaming if companies keep doing this to consumers. its bad business. i tell you what if i was the CEO of steam, the person that in charge of the steam games going into the market on here would get fired by me for not catching stuff like this. i wouldnt tolerate stuff like this happening as much as it does
Moist Gusset 2014 年 6 月 21 日 下午 5:58 
I *do* agree with you completely Dragon I understand your frustration. I think GOG makes more of an effort tbh with older stuff. Steam just seems to chuck any old thing on here & leaves it to others to sort out. Or charges a lot for ancient stuff like Age of Mythology that's just been tarted up slightly LOL... but they don't set the initial prices on those ones I guess.
Dragon God 2014 年 6 月 21 日 下午 6:07 
thats what i mean, cr@ppy businees practices like that will be the downfall of PC gaming eventually. people will get sick of this going on to much and they will switch to consoles. which i hope that never ends up happening cuz i love pc gaming more then consoles. at least with pc games you can mod them

This is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ screw up. The game simply doesn't work after installation. Yes shure, it can be fixed, but i didn't pay for a game that doesn't work.

The missing support really shows, how much steam cares about their costumers.

There are two reasons, why i buy games here: I don't have to leave home, and the games used to work (just buy any Rockstar game on dvd and you'll know what i mean).

Since the games, purchased on steam, don't nessecarily work anymore, there is only one reason left. And honestly i'm not shure if this one reason is enough. Wouldn't it be better and cheaper, to support local businesses by buying games there and selling them to 2nd. Hand game stores after finnishing them?

Companies like Steam, choose profit over morals, its the new American business model.
