4) Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Activision\Elite Force II and Delete it.ĥ) Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ I hope this helps any/everyone, but I can't do any more beyond this.ġ) Go to the directory where you installed the game (Default is C:\Program Files\Activision\EF2) and delete the whole EF2 folder.ģ) Type: regedit (Press the Enter key) This will bring up the registry editor. This information is pretty exhaustive, so if this doesn't help you, then you probably need some basic PC lessons from someone competent. Now I haven't been playing long, but if I encounter any problems with the progression of the game and it's engine, I'll be sure to report back. I even tried to close the program through Task Manager, but the game ignored my attempts and eventually it just launched as if it was the OG. BE WARNED, it took a long time (at least a few minutes) to start the game for me, but that could be because my laptop is already 7 years old, and the game is playing a but jerky. Then I just ran the game (you can find it from your windows start menu under All Programs).

After this I went back to the Downloads EF2 folder and double clicked on the patch at the bottom of the list and just followed the prompts.ĩ. After repeated attempts to retry, I eventually just chose abort.Ĩ. Now I did this and repeated this steps, and ejected the new drive again and remounted Disc 01 into that drive, but I received some kind of error message. Shortly after it will ask you to insert Disc 1 again. It will continue with the installation.ħ.

Now go back to the Downloads folder where your zip file was unzipped and double click on Disc 02 and repeat the process as before, using the same drive letter as before. First, go back to the drive screen, right click on the icon and select EJECT from the list.Ħ. Shortly after, it will ask you to insert disc 2. It will open the installation screen, choose Install.ĥ. Double click this drive/icon, Click Run AUTORUN when the screens comes up. Now you should see a new drive with the EF2 icon iunder the letter you chose. Just choose the drive letter that's displayed and OK. If a permission screen comes up click OK.

I can't teach you how to use it, but once you have it installed, access mounting files should be automatic and easy.Ĥ. You need a mounting tool like magicISO or Daemon tools to do this. Ignore the V1.0 no_CD and V1.1 NO_CD folders at the top. It will automatically unzip it into a sub folder in your Downloads folder named, 'Star Trek - Elite Force 2'. Once you're satisfied with removing past installations, you can unzip the 7zip file (it should still be in your Downloads folder). Just DON'T delete the 7zip file you downloaded or you'll have to download it again.Ģ. I don't think it's as necessary to completely remove the game as people are making it out to be. At the end of the day, when in doubt, don't delete it.

Don't delete these as they could be windows update files.
Be careful, there are some files with long lists of numbers and letters eg '._ef2ab4tt' etc. If you have the game previously and are trying to delete it, but can't find all the related files, just go to your windows explorer folder or equivalent and do a search (the bar with a magnifying glass next to it near the top right hand side of the screen) for 'EF2', and delete anything related to the game.
Ok Gents, This is how I got mine to work:ġ. Now you can run EF2 from your desktop, with smooth rendering, and with the ability to save and load your progress. Right click anywhere on your desktop background and click 'NEW', 'SHORTCUT', 'BROWSE', and then scroll down to find the same location until you find the 'Quake3' executable application.Ĭlick 'OK', 'NEXT', and finally 'FINISH'. Now you'll want to make a shortcut for the game on your desktop. I experienced this firsthand, and my game is running very smoothly now since renaming it. The fact of the matter is that it DOES make a difference as kooky and wacky as it sounds. Someone with better understanding of programming than I could explain it to you. It has something to do with the openGL driver(?) I'm not a programmer, so don't ask me why the name of an executable would make any difference.
If you don't rename it, the game rendering will run choppy and some in-game commands won't work properly at all.

So, after you've followed my directions in a previous comment, go to the location below (assuming that you allowed the installer to automatically designate an install location)įind the EF2.exe Application and rename it to 'Quake3'
