HyperLobby confusion ...

Post by :FI:Falcon » Sat Dec 23, 2006 9:03 pm

Folk,

I installed '46 into a seperate folder so that I have two different games, (I didn't have the Switch utility at the time).

Going into HyperLobby just now I received this message:

~~~

Warning: HyperLobby can't find instalation folder for your Pacific fighters game.
Please correct/search full path for the game executable in to text box and
press save buton
Example: C:\Pacific Fighters\pf.exe

~~~

I gave the path to the IL-2 4.05 instalation and got another negative message.

However, HL still opens and I see a very few servers and pilots on board now.

Either I've been sent to a HL nether region or there aren't many people flying now because of the season.

Question:

Am I okay as long as I'm still in HL or should I start worrying?

Should I re-install '46 with 4.05 and use Switch?

If I sweep all the pine needles under the rug will I get caught or can I blame it on the ferrets?

Thanks,

Falcon

Ak!

Since the right path has mysteriously disappeared, I can't join in any reindeer games!

Pressing "Control Shift and Enter" together at the same time your clicking connect on HL will give you the option of finding the correct path, let it run through all options and it should give you all the paths to your installs.

Thanks Vin, I tried that.

Then, just after I posted last, I decided to use my brain. It's very small and needs to be in juuuust the right possition. I selected "Forgotten Battles" Instead of "Pacific Fighters" and all seems well again.

gah!

Panic city for a while there.
