The Blue Sun Mod

[R@S]

It seems you need this to get it to work properly if you have a 32 bit system:

Microsoft Visual C + + 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)

And make sure you have the vanilla English E6.exe in your game folder when launching the game with BlueSunMod.exe. Any other of the E6.exe will not work.

Still fails. E6.exe is there.

Or do i need to do a fresh install of 7.62 after installing the c++ components?


Edit:- tried Kuujis's way. got as far as the splash screen but still failed.

Make sure you have the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package installed, it's needed for the new HLA.dll system to work. Use the links depending on your OS, x86 or x64.

Microsoft Visual C + + 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)
Microsoft Visual C + + 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x64)

1: Install 7.62 in a new folder, like C:\games\7.62\. Do not intstall the game in your Program Files or User folder, that will cause problems with vista/win7

2: Extract the Unofficial Patch files to your game directory, including this file: msvcr71.dll

3: Run the PatchMe.bat in your game folder to pack up the files in an AZP archive

4: Extract all the files from Media.pack_pt_1.rar, Media.pack_pt_2.rar and Media.pack_pt_3.rar to your 7.62\Media.pack\ folder.

5: Extract the Blue Sun Mod Base files to a temporary folder, then copy them to your game directory.

6: Run the BlueSunMod.exe to start the game.

If you have the Russian or German version of the game you need the comaptibility patch for the respective version. those packs includes the right E6.exe and are needed to get the game working.

BTW R@S did you managed the crash with the e6q.txt for the GCP?

[R@S]

Yup, as long as you use the German Unofficial patch 1.06 and the GCP 1.6 the mod is very stable.

What is this you are talking about?

Possible spoilers ahead.

Also - was doing the poor wino mission line. Several strange things:
1. When I got the puta companion, we went to the hooker looking for luggage, she sends us to the Campechino? I stopped by Sagrada, puta says - lets go to my brother da police. All the other luggage missions skipped?
2. CGL1 at start. After fending off the drug dealer mission from puta police ambush CGL is suddenly 8?

You can go straight to Sagrada after Paquito joins, it's been that way for a while now. The Puerto viejo - Campecino - Sagrada route is when you don't know who's got the luggage.

Similar issues has been reported, but that had to do with the Player Base. I need to know more about it before I start looking for the bug, like if you recruited militia at your base or took over any other sector.
