Default Can't playt Freespace Demo
Has anyone got the Freespace demo to work from Hyperion? I have installed it and have set it up (at the moment to use software rendering). It will load and goto the main screen, yet when I click on the doors for the "Start Campane" it does nothing. All the other areas work, iei configuration, even ones that don;t work at all in the demo (ie the Technical section just comes up with "not available in the demo version" or words to that effect)

I need help!

Thanks!

Yeah I did, past tense that is. It was on a A3k 060/Prometheus/Voodoo3. It worked VERY well out of the box. The only thing it required was the absolute most recent Warp3D install. This was using hardware render, as that is the only way a 060 machine could handle it.

PPC using soft render? Hmm not sure. Did you check Hyperion's faq on it?
:-?

You haven't got that A4000 then?! ;-)

No matter what I try it won't do anything when I click those doors! I have got all the patches, the latest Warp3D drivers and still, the other doors work, but not that one :-(

It is annoying as I would like to get the full version, but until I can get the demo working, I am not buying the full version.

Yes, I used to play the Demo when my PPC was still working, and used software render. Not sure I can help you though as all I did was install it, run the config, and off it went. Slow as heck on a Picasso II software rendering, but it worked.

No the bidding went to high and common sense took over:-(

As for your Freespace problem I'm affraid I can't help you any further:-( All I can guess is for you to remove it completely and reinstall it. If that fails email Hyperion directly for support would be my guess:-(

The demo may be crap, but the full version certainly isn't. I had a friend of mine play it for a couple of hours, then when it quit to the Workbench I heard him say, "What the hell version of Windows is THIS?!"

Jumpship: Two possible reasons:

1. Somehow the data files are installed corrupted
on your harddrive
2. You tried to start the data files of the full
(PC) version with the Demo version which of
course does not work
3. Something was done wrong during installation

The full version has a nice installer to take
care of installation.

As to WarPiper:

Do I understand right ? You did not even try the Amiga version and claim in public the Amiga version would be "crap"? I am really annoyed by such clueless comments.

Ah, yes, I should have read the mail again.
That's *three* possible reasons of course (I added after some more thought a third reason but did not fix the first sentence )

Default Re: Can't playt Freespace Demo
to the trolls: freespace aint crap on an amiga, who ever told u this have no idea, i completed it and i noticed NOthing diffrent from the pc version , speed is nice and good ... etc...

magicSn@: as i told you before i love freespace and i got hooked, but there is still that 1 bug with miamiDx ,( ...

anyway to run the game on software render , u might need some help there, due to it didnt work here either , but 1. try to close MiamiDX completely , 2. if 1 didnt help then check all the variables in env: sometimes here they mess up , but once it worked once its all ok. 3. u can try to ask timothy groothe (i belive is his name) who helped me get it running (and shogo) , or ofcourse ask magicsn who helped me also....

all in all i appriciate all help from hyperion and i have nothing negative to say about freespace except for that miamidx bug, the same that WHDLOAD has...kinda weird ...now if only..

ohwell the game is cheap (19 euro still iirc) and its totally worth it, but beware...the last mission is a PAIN in the butt... damn hard....
