I've placed this in two places, sorry for any inconvience; please don't flame me:

The patch is not working.

I just installed the patch for 1.01 to update to 1.02. Everything seemed to go fine. I even went through and deleted the .pk3 player-made files before running the install client.

The install was successful and the green start-up box even says 1.02 in the corner. But the game crashs in the loading screen.

What files should be in the base folder? I made sure I didn't delete anything important. Maybe I missed a file.

In my SOF2 folder I have:

Folders and readme's -
backup cfg folder
base folder
cairath folder
docs folder
extras folder
uninstall folder
101ReadMe
102 ReadMe

Unknown files-
cgamex86.dll
eaxman.dll
ffx86.dll
gamex86.dll
ifc22.dll
menusx86.dll
servercache
snd_alx86.dll
snd_dlx86.dll

In my base folder I have:

Folders-
gfx
mp
save
screenshots

Documents -
update102
maps
models
mp
musicandsound
myconfig
skins
sof2sp
textures0
textures1234
therest
update 101

Patches-
SoF2-101patch
Sof2-102patch

What's the deal? Anyone else having this problem? Any programmer advise?

Help please!

what is sof2sp ?

Would you suggest just reinstalling the game?

OK I'm going to go ahead and do that.

Certainly cant hurt.

Aha! Maybe its the Zone alarm Firewall.

But I've already reinstalled and am reinstalling both patches.

Yes! I got it to work!

I must have overlooked a pk3 file or my filewall wasn't reading the program correctly. But whatever the case, thanks for your two-sentence help and encouragement Apoxol. You've made my day!

lofl  

I have the same problem!! The green window that shows first has the 1.02, then it flickers to a loading screeen and just stops there.
Things Ive done to try to fix it are uninstall whole game. After reinstall I played the original.
Then I install the 1.01 patch and it works fine.
But after I install the 1.02 patch still get the same problem.

I've looked in the SoF2 folder to see if mine was the same as above, and its not. In the base folder there is a file called Update~1.pk3 and update102.pk3. Im also missing the gfx folder.

Ive downloaded the file from filefront a few times and still get the same thing. gggrrrrrrr.....Please help me!!!
