I downloaded the free ss2, and for some reason it doesn't work. I extracted all the files, and they came out as rfa's, so I extracted those to. Then I double clicked the .exe file and clicked new game, and when it is done loading the screen just goes black and ss2 stops responding. Any help?
 
If your on XP try setting it to win 98 compatability. Right click exe file and see under properties.

Otherwise you might try getting a working Iso somewhere (Kazaa, emule etc) and burning a disc.
 
as I said...try and open the zip-file then from that one double click the exe-file(without manually extracting anything)....
 
There is no exe file, the zip file is a bunch of rfas that I extracted. The 98 thing doesn't work but lemme try again.

trust me there is...I did it that way myself:rolleyes:

it's called: "Sshock2.part01.exe" double click it and it will use an extractor, but in a Install-format.

Where did you get that? :D

I think the poor sod might have downloaded a specific file from their "specific file archieve"
 
No, because all the files are there when I extract not install. I don't know, I'll try one more time....
 
Ok, I downloaded from the link you told me to download from, then I extracted the rfa files, then I double clicked the first rfa and clicked install, then the exe file came out and I double clicked on that. When I click new game and do all the ddifficulty level stuff and push start and after it loads, it turns black and stops responding....
 
It used to do that to me... but now it works. I don't know why.

BTW, does anyone know where I can d/l the cutscenes only? I've found the full game w/ cutscenes, but I just want the cutscenes.
 
This is mine, modded. The .CRF files are in the 'res' folder and the 'mesh' folder is added for the Rebirth mod. Try getting the mod and follow the instructions in the FAQ section here

It's a long shot, but it might work. The mod makes the game look better anyway.
 
I have different files then you... Like I have texture and you don't...
 
I got the rebirth mod and it still doesn't work. I'm about to kill something...
 
Could you send me your ss2 file somehow? I am so desperate right now!
 
If you did the thing with the res folder and the crf files I'm out of ideas. The one I'm using right now is the one from the Underdogs, so sending you mine won't make any difference. I've got a really slow torrent for the retail unpatched version that I'll send you a link to and there's some more information at http://www.ntcompatible.com/compdet.php?id=5191 , after that you're on your own.
 
sorry can't help you any further if you've got it of the underdogs and did exactly what I said...
 
When I put the .crf files in the res file, it does that error report thing, so I am not sure what to do. Sigh, Murphy's Law applies to me in every facet of life...

Find your install.cfg file. Assuming your game directory is C:/Sshock2, it should look like this:

cd_path E:\
install_path C:\Sshock2
language english
resname_base C:\Sshock2\res+E:\shock
load_path C:\Sshock2+E:\shock
script_module_path C:\Sshock2+E:\shock
movie_path C:\Sshock2\cutscenes+E:\shock\cutscenes


Basically, make sure you've got the res folder in the resname_base path. Also, try leaving the crf files that are in the patch folder where they are.
