Missing servers after reinstall

[PatriotCFS]

I just reinstalled FC2 yesterday after I "broke" my previous install and noticed that when I go to multiplayer, where there once was 30ish servers, there is only 5 or 6.

I downloaded the game and patch, but when i ran the patch it says 1.2.1 is already installed.

When I pulled the old install folder out of the recycling bin, all the servers show.

Any suggestions?

FC/DCS works in a way where it wont show other servers running on a different version.

 

Hm, it could be the registry key for version is 'incorrect' somehow, so the patch wont install but you still have an older version.

Inside "HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftware\Eagle Dynamics\LockOn Flaming Cliffs 2\Version" it should store the version. If you delete it before doing another reinstall (download the latest version from the web first).

 

Ex from the registry:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Eagle Dynamics\LockOn Flaming Cliffs 2\Version]

"Version"="1.0"

"Locale"="en"

"PatchVersion"="1.2.1"

 

If you remove too much of the FC keys, it may require a reactivation when you run it for the first time.

 

Test once more with

- Rename the FC dir to fc.old

- Clear the FC "Version" folder in registry.

- D/L the latest full from the web http://lockon.co.uk/index.php?scr=product&ProductId=6&end_pos=135

- install it

Thanks Panzer, that worked.

I deleted the Patched version entry, resinstalled and ran the patch.

Everything seems to be back to normal!
