problems with HSFX Auto Updater

when i run the updater i got this message…

Microsoft Visual.jpg

then it’t empty in activated Mods.
JSGME.jpg

don’t remember what should be activated in there.

Mas, I think activated should be History Mod (HSFX) and Expert Mode.

I fear I can’t say much to the Visual C thing.

I’d propose that you try to join an HSFX game in HL to see whether your installation already works.

Maybe the first message only indicates, that you already have the newest version and it won’t be overwritten.

PS:

Basically I have a copy version of 4.11, that I update to 4.11.1. Then HSFX6 on top of it…

Mas, I just gone through the same process and had the same issues. Then I RTFM!

I’ve bolded the relevant portions:

"HSFX Auto Updater program

This program automatically updates your HSFX installation with the latest files. This is a small C++ program, that when run, checks on the HSFX master
server for a list of HSFX files and their MD-5 checksums and compares them with your IL-2 files. If there is a difference in the MD-5 checksums, the updater
downloads the new files to your computer and copies them to the correct folders and overwrites the old files.

First it runs jsgme and automatically de-activates all active mods, then downloads and installs the new files, then runs jsgme. You then must activate the
mods you want to use. At a minimum you must activate HSFX history.

When you are notified that there is an update available, you must run HSFX_Client_Updater.exe for the personal PC version or
HSFX_Server_Updater.exe for the server version, that are in your IL2 root game folder.

You will need the installation program described below to install this.


Auto Updater installation program

This program installs the Auto Updater. It is a 5.5 Mb. download.

It’s named - HSFX_Auto_Updater.EXE. It’s available at the link below.

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/26976891/HSFX_Auto_Updater.EXE

This program installs the Auto Updater executable onto your PC and updates the .INI file it uses, with the path to your IL-2 game folder. It is crucial
that you install the Auto Updater into your IL-2 game folder, which is the Folder where your il2fb.exe is. It cannot work any where else.

This installer will install either the personal PC version or the On-line Server edition.

[b]Included in the installer is the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86). This package needs to be run to install the support files
required by Visual C++. (It is possible that this has already been loaded when you installed another program, in which case you get the message

  • A newer version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable was found was found on the computer. In this case, you don’t need to install the runtimes.)[/b]

You will have to add the Auto Updater to your start menu, or create a desktop link to run it in the future.

If you have more than one installation, you must install the Auto Updater in each of the installations."

Like Hia says, you then activate HSFX in JSGME. For a full list of what’s needed in JSGME look in Classics SEOW posts.

Hope that helps. :slight_smile:
