GENERAL PROBLEMS
ENCOUNTERED WHEN PLAYING SOF2 ONLINE |
Slug installed Windows 7 and after installing
SOF2 he was getting an error it said "SOF2
encountered a problem" and the game shut down. After
checking that graphic drivers etc. were up to date the error
was still there. However the problem was solved by DooGie
.
DooGie
"I had the same problem Slug. If you are using an nVidia
graphics card try the following. Open up the nvidia
control panel and go to where it shows game profiles.
Select the Soldier of Fortune profile and look for a
line that says Extension limit. If it's set to Off
change it to On. The problem is caused by the new open
gl having more extensions than SOF2 can handle."
An update from DooGie :-
With the latest driver release,
version 195.62
the extension limit is set already in the SOF2 profile.
No tweaking
needed, nVIDIA have also removed the extension
limit setting in this release.Thanks for the added info
DooGie .....

Black PBSS (players using Windows Vista) |
Vista users : r_fullscreen "0"
Modify your
sof2mp.cfg to contain >
seta r_fullscreen "0" instead of
"1".
This runs sof2 in a window, and pbss works.
Or open the console using the
`
key and type
\r_fullscreen
"0" in the console,click the Enter key then type this
\vid_restart
hit Enter and close console.
Many of the problems encountered in playing SOF2 online can
fixed by installing the same
version of OSP to your
PC that is being used on the game server you want to play
on.
If you have the wrong OSP version you may see the error
message....
"Server disconnected: Unpure client detected. invalid .PK3
files referenced!"
Current versions in use are listed below.
| OSP 0.3k Client |
Download |
| OSP 0.3d, 0.3e, 0.3i, 0.3k, 1.0f
& 1.0h |
Download |
|
Extract and copy all 6 files to
your OSP folder |
| OSP 1.0L Client |
Download |
If you have no versions of OSP
installed (No OSP Folder in your SOFII intallation) then
download OSP 0.3k and extract the zip file to your SOF2
Double Helix folder. It will create a folder named OSP. Next
download OSP Versions 0.3d - 1.0h and extract the files to
the OSP Folder.
In order to play on servers running
ROCmod you will need to
download that as well.
Download ROCmod-2.1a and extract to your SOFII
directory (not base folder)
Also in common use is ROCmod2.0c which you should extract to your
RoCMod folder.
Most SOFII v1.03 servers run Punkbuster anti-cheat software
and you will need an up-to date client version of Punkbuster
in order to play on these servers.
Each copy of SOFII has a unique serial number that gives you
the user an equally unique player ID or GUID. If the CD you
are using does not have a unique key (CD is a copy) or your
GUID is logged on a list of banned players you will be
kicked from servers by Punkbuster.
The Punkbuster files on your PC are designed to update
themselves automatically.
HOWEVER......
Even Balance (Punkbuster) have announced a new tool to aid
players and server admins.
It's called PunkBuster Setup and allows you to keep track of
your current PB version for both client and server, and
update all games on your computer at the touch of a button.
Features:
1. Ability to install/update PunkBuster software for
multiple supported games
2. Ability to correct corrupted installations of the
PunkBuster software
3. Self-updating executable; you may from time to time be
notified of new versions of PBSetup itself. A download and
update will happen automatically.
How to Install PBSetup:
1. Download PBSetup for your OS platform
Windows (472KB)
2. Place the file in an appropriate directory:
3. Create a desktop shortcut to pbsetup.exe and then
double click on the icon.
When you run the program for the first time it will ask you
what games you wish to update and where they are located on
your PC (Add a Game) You can then click on 'Check For
Updates' and the system will download and install the very
latest version of Punkbuster.

Other problems with V1.03 |
If you are sure you have the above the next step is to make
sure your base folder has the correct files AND try removing
any files that may be causing problems.
Your SOFII Base folder requires the following files to
operate correctly.
 mp |
 maps.pk3 |
100,572KB |
| models.pk3 |
94,372KB |
| mp.pk3 |
30,979KB |
| musicandsound.pk3 |
186,770KB |
| skins.pk3 |
71,525KB |
| textures0.pk3 |

| textures1234.pk3 |

| therest.pk3 |

Depending on how many additional maps and modifications
you have downloaded you may have many more files in
your base folder.
If you are having problems running SOFII it may be worth
removing additional files such as downloaded skins, weapons
and textures modifications.
1. Rename your base folder OLDbase
2. Create a NEW folder within your SOFII folder and name it base
3. COPY each of the above pk3 files from your OLDbase folder and put them
into your new base folder.
Copy the mp folder from the OLDbase folder and paste it into
your new base folder.
You now have a clean base folder but still have all the
other files safe in the OLDbase folder should you need one
of them later.
Now go into SOFII and see if this has cured your problem.
