FC2 error - wont load missions - crashes

[Stangpilot]

Hi there. FC2 used to play fine for me. I havent played it in a while and today out of nowhere missions would not load and I get this error in the picture attached.

 

I have re-installed FC2 but that did not solve it. Any ideas appreciated.

No one has any ideas? I did a system restore to a time when the game worked and that did nothing as well. I still get the same error message. Its not about inserting the lock on disk either, never had to do that before and I tried it anyway and it didnt work.

This might sound silly, but..have you checked if your disk drive works at all (by inserting other DVD games/programs)? If you did a reinstall and FC2 can't recognize the disk is inserted into drive..well, it sounds like the drive might have gotten broken or something?

Download the complete FC2 and do a reinstall to a new folder:

 

first this: http://lockon.co.uk/index.php?scr=product&ProductId=6&end_pos=135

 

And then then patch: http://lockon.co.uk/downloads/patches/lockon_fc2_patch_1.2.1/

 

Place all files for each of the download in one folder and run the setup file.

None of this fixed it. After TONS of experimentation, if was the full screen option in the game settings that caused it. If I turned full screen off, no more crashes.
