game will not start any more

[Troll2k]

Update.

I got it working.As usual it was pilot error.

I had been deleting the parts folder before extracting or copying and pasting the patch.Apparently the parts folder in the patch does not have everything the parts folder of version 1.05 has.This was causing the "launcher has stopped working" message.When I just overwrote the whole folder it worked.What fooled me was originally when I extracted it asked if I wanted to overwrite and I said yes.Apparently there are some files that are the in both folders but the original has the necessary start files.

Now to figure out how to load the lasers and smoke.
