However, what is also true is that it would take just one employee at Warner Bros., Activision, and/or 20th Century Fox, who gets the initiative to go down to the basement and dig out the paper copy of the contract detailing the rights to the game, in order to make it possible for a publisher to sell the full game again. But the game is effectively abandoned, so it's a slightly different situation.Īll that kojack said is true. Of course there's other means of getting them, but shouldn't be posted in here (rules, etc). So there's no online stores that sell the games. All three may own part of the IP for NOLF, refuse deal with anybody to bring the game back, but have the lawyers ready in case anybody tries. Sadly the NOLF series got screwed over by Activision, Fox and Warner Brothers. Don't worry about the contents of the "Game" folder: they're all duplicate files and old versions, and they were needed only for working with the level editor.
Either delete just this specific "CLIENTFX.FXD" file, or delete the whole "Game" subfolder altogether, which will save you 1,75 GB of disk space. In your installation folder, you might find a subfolder named "Game", and inside that, a file named "CLIENTFX.FXD" (there's also a "CLIENTFX" folder, but I'm talking about the file).
If the mod is crashing for you and/or you don't see Cate Archer's welcome animation at the title screen, you might have conflicting versions of the game's effects library.
To avoid trouble, it's best if you choose a normal folder during installation: for instance, tell the No One Lives Forever 2 installer to put the game in C:\MyGames\NOLF2. When NOLF2 came out in 2002, Windows wasn't protecting the Program Files folder yet, so the developers decided to put the saves inside the program's directory, as was customary at the time.
Thank you for reading this, and I hope that you will enjoy playing the mod as much as I did coding it!!!ĭepending on your system configuration, you might run into problems if you install the original game inside "Program Files (x86)" (trouble unpacking the mod files, game doesn't save, etc.).
