ROF wont load?

[CybaGirl]

Hello Peeps, can someone please help me with the following issue?
 

I have this issue with an earlier version of the installation program and I have added my login and password to the startup.cfg file as suggested by people on the forums. But still I get this Error 4 and saying my user name and or password is wrong. Even though I know it is right as I can log in to the ROF website using the same information.
 

So thinking I will do the update which I did. Then ran the recovery option as suggested in another thread and now when I click on the yellow ROF icon nothing happens. The mouse pointer seems to animate for a few seconds and then stops.

I never see a loading screen or anything unlike when I had the previous version installed.
 

I have downloaded and installed both versions of 2005 and 2008 Microsoft Visual C++ but still nothing will load for me.
 

So does anyone have any idea as to what is going on and how I can resolve this issue please as it's driving me nuts not being able to play this game especially when I have purchased all content from the online website.
 

Thank you.

I'm not sure what you should do, I'll look in my notebook of errors and see if I have anything written down there

I couldn't find anything in my notebook, hopefully the people I saw helping you on the RoF forum can help you figure it out.

S! All

 

They did an update to their privacy policy that may cause a problem with the launcher.

 

Try this pathway to the updater and update the game.   Rise of Flight\bin_game\release\rof_updater.exe

 

click on the updater and update the game. This is very small update. No install of direct X or anything else.

it sure is, we were hoping in our dreams for like a zeppelin or something (not that we ever expected to get it though), and all we get is a 275megabite update for the privacy policy, it's been messing a bunch of people up. Really wish they could have told us about it, but nothing we can do about it.

S!

To anyone getting issues with trying to do an install of ROF on a new system, there is something buggy in the game file from the rise of flight website. 

 

The version on STEAM is the "full version" but cuts about 3 GB of file size down. It opens fine on modern systems and takes your password and username the first get go
