hi
I installed FDF on arma 2, then i used mod folders for the rest of the mods(the grass, islands etc.) i put them in Documents\Arma 2.
and i run CO from arma2oa.exe.
help?
Have you tried installing FDF using Mod Folders in Documents\Arma2 like the others?
Here's a conversation I had with alifie, with some more information:
Quote:20:28:24 Destex Hey there
20:29:02 alifie hi
20:29:36 Destex and welcome 
20:29:45 Destex you said you have problems with the installation?
20:29:46 alifie thanks
20:29:51 alifie yes
20:30:09 alifie i installed the FDF mod
20:30:16 alifie in arma 2 folder
20:30:32 alifie and the rest of the mods in mod folders
20:30:42 alifie in documents\arma 2
20:30:55 alifie and after some time 5-10 min
20:30:58 alifie it crashes
20:31:09 alifie happend 2 times
20:31:10 Destex you can play FDF until it crashes?
20:31:15 alifie yes
20:31:32 Destex I see. you have a steam version, right?
20:31:37 alifie yep
20:33:25 Destex hmm let me find someone who has steam. because I have a the regular version, I understand it's rather different
20:34:00 alifie yes
20:34:06 alifie steam doesn't like mods
20:46:31 Destex Can you add to your post more information regarding how you installed the mod in details?
20:46:49 alifie ok
20:48:48 alifie pc specs too?
20:49:00 Destex no no, not needed
20:50:01 alifie done
20:56:34 Destex if you can see the mod and play then your installation went fine
20:56:51 Destex (most probably)
20:57:12 alifie maybe is because of my computer...
20:57:31 alifie i'll try to set it to turbo
20:57:44 alifie and close some processes
20:57:47 Destex update your gfx driver, and check your temperatures
20:57:57 alifie temps are fine
20:58:06 alifie and i have 285.x
20:58:15 alifie the last driver
20:58:19 alifie anyway
20:58:32 alifie thanks for help
20:58:42 Destex this is what mike advises:
20:59:01 Destex 20:52:41 mike thats not a lot of details
20:53:59 mike but hund had something similar with fdfmod and playing on cia. he always crashd after a while. I told him to update his driver, defrag his harddrive
20:54:46 mike and through some debugging with a latency checker program we found out it was his wireless internet causing severe slowdowns, which probably crashed his pc
20:54:51 mike so he switched to wired
20:55:33 me oh, but alifie crashes on SP
20:55:48 mike well, i have no idea
20:55:52 mike could be a temp issue
20:55:57 mike could be driver
20:56:52 me ok, ill let him know. thanks!
20:56:44 mike he needs to do more testing
20:57:05 mike preferably while testing temps, and dpc latency
20:57:38 me what's dpc latency?
20:57:39 mike deferred procedure calls, it makes your pc hang badly
20:57:44 mike even to the point of crashing
20:58:19 mike google dpclat, and youll find the program and how to use it
20:58:55 me ok
21:00:23 alifie thanks
21:00:28 alifie i'll look it up
FDF must be installed in a folder called fdfmod in ArmA2 folder, and launched (easiest) by using mod-string -mod=fdfmod as minimum.
It's always a good practice to start only with the mod you have trouble with, before adding more addons (which are?). When you have figured out/ identified the problem, you can start adding other mods, one by one, to identify e.g. incomparability.
