md5 shader kicks, because of FH2?

Rudd · 04-15-2008, 09:19 PM

I installed FH2 yesterday, had a blast, but soon came back to the love and joy that is PR.

Only to find that I get kicked by all servers running md5 shader checks and all the menus are in FH2 style now. When I was on a server that did not run checks (oh which the name shall remain secret to protect us from exploitation) the bleed and suppression effects were FH2 style, not PR.

Uninstall FH2- nothing

Delete cache files to re-optimise shaders- nothing.

Seems to me the way to sort this is a full reinstall...but I was hoping for a shred of hope. The only thread I found on the FH2 forums is Messed up PR - FileFront Gaming Forums
and lets just say it was less than illuminating

edit- my system is
windows XP, nvidia 6800, intel core duo 3.2 GHz, Audigy 2 ZS soundcard, 2GB RAM,

On of the FH2 devs told me that its cuz I exited the game incorrectly, i.e. i CTD.
Have to restart FH2 and shut down properly...

I thought "ah great, i'll reinstall and do that and see if it works"
the reinstall wasn't a happy one, so reinstalling entire game now.

My way to fix issues with FH2 and PR conflicts was to use different nicks.

One for FH2 and a different one for PR. Different PIDs. For some reason the different profiles solved my issues.

I don't have FH but I get MD5 error...Whats up with FH, does it permanently change everything? I also read in the wiki it says it changes controls? I'd get it together if I were them.

As I understand it, the BF2 1.21 patch really buggered up the shaders for modding. What each mod exe does is shuffle all the shaders around so that the game can use them differently, i.e. suppression etc. Problem was that since I didn't exit FH2 correctly, the FH2 shaders were the only ones loaded. I assume if I did it the other way around, PR's shaders would be loaded in FH2.

I uninstalled FH2 since PR is my priority, but I should have just reloaded a game and shut down carefully. Cuz I uninstalled, i had to go back and do it all again.

Both PR AND FH2 are excellent mods (but IMO, FH2 is very pretty but inferior in game play to PR)
