Solution: use a different no-cd crack, for example one for the German 1.1 exe. Basically indicating a mismatch between the exe and the game data. tldr, I came across this thread where someone else had the same error. I then noticed that there was an error being printed in the quake3 engine console, “Error: G_FindConfigstringIndex: overflow”. I googled different options, but nothing seemed to be pointing me in the right direction.
Installed game, installed version 1.2 patch.And now that I am a Star Trek nerd (thanks to Netflix), I picked it up (sadly not currently available on GOG, Steam, etc.). That got me to thinking about Raven Software, and then realizing I never played Elite Force.
This weekend I was binging on an absolute classic late 90’s PC game, Heretic 2 (which by the way runs great without much of a struggle). Should you have any question, just write me a pm or here.I don’t post to this blog often, usually only when I get stuck running a game and then spend a decent amount of time on it and am satisfied in the end, AND for some reason feel like sharing it.
I discovered the problem a short time ago, I tried to run the setup.exe from the cd, like I did it for the past 10 years and nothing happened.
You are right currently it's a bit difficulty to install the game on the latest version of Win10, but there is an easier way to install it than to run it via virtualization. I'm one of the last event organizer in EF. Game launches fine after turning up all of the post processing in 3D settings for NVIDIA. As well as trying to increase post processing by the graphics card in Nvidia settings. Next I'm going to play around with increasing the resolution by editing the config file. If the game does not launch then try running it in different compatibility modes. i did both for safe measureĬompatbility mode: win xp sp3 and launch as admin. set compatability modes on the launch exe.on win 10: Copy the files to where you wish them to be or run from the share folder.Copy the entire install directory of Elite Force One to share folder.
I just spent the last day troubleshooting and I got Elite Force One to run on Windows 10 (current version).
