SOF II - Who used to play?

Up for it too but it is going to take some time raking through the darkest depths of my cupboard to try to find it.

To those that have already played since this thread what is the cheating situation like?
 
I used to love sof2 I used to play in MAK Mighty Ass Kickers

Awesome game....

I hated rocmod but we played on real damage and the other popular mod but I can't remember its name :/
 
Ive been using the same installed verion for years, since I first install it in fact. Just installed, applied the patch and crack. Using the cd key for when i bougth it. Ive lost the cds but it works fine.

Suppose I could zip it up and stick it on rapidshare (removing the key) then would jsut need to download and find/use your own key. Its 1.06gb

Seems ATI driver 10.4 and earlier is the one to go for in order to get this game to work.

Also seems that I can't get Windows 7 to actually install the bloody thing! ARGH!

You can install the latest drivers and play, you just download atioglxx.dll and stick it in your sof2 directory.

I stopped playing a few months back and had the same problem, using that file sorted it out for me :D

Is there a particular subfolder I need to put it in?

I copied that file (from the 10.4 driver) to the SOF2 installation folder, but when I launch the game I get "LoadLibrary failed with error 193: %1 is not a valid Win32 application" at the end of the console loading stage (just before the actual game launches).

Dammit! Dug mine out and installed it, Win7 64bit. As soon as I launch the game, I get a "... has stopped working" message and my windows display theme goes all messed up.

Seems to be down to the ATI drivers installed, but I can't be assed swapping and changing drivers at this point (it's a laptop, too, so I'd likely have to download modded infs, etc.).

Sad Panda. :(

I get the same error

See my previous thread.

I'd love to find out how to get it running......
 
I saw it on offer on another site and got it and it was loads of fun. Ther graphics of course look super-dated and the gameplay aint all that but what really stands out is of course...the damage modelling on the characters.

Blast of an arm. Blast of a leg. Off with a head. A round in the stomach and you see guts. Priceless stuff that makes even some of todays shooters seem tame. Can you imagine if the team that made SOF was let loose to make a 2011 version using all the graphics goodness of today. What an epic gorefest it would be :D

Do you multiple monitors and if so do you use Ultramon ?

This was the problem with my previous installs. Game never worked but did when Ultramon was switched off.

Nope, I'm literally just trying to play it on a Dell laptop. HD5470 (I think) video card.

I've just figured that by renaming one or two of the ATI dll files in the Windows\SysWOW64 folder, the console behaves differently at launch, stating that it couldn't load the OpenGL renderer.

If I then copy the files mentioned previously from the driver extraction folder (in this case, 10.4), it give the LoadLibrary error I mentioned earlier.

If I completely reinstall the ATI drivers, then try the game, I get the "... has stopped working" error. Can't win. :(

Sorry mate, quite how I got mine working I'm not sure - all I know is the only diff between it not working previously and working now is not having Ultramon running.

If you get it up and running the fixes to play it in your native res etc can be found here (post no 4).

Just did it and it took 5 mins and it's simple.
 
wha, forgot all about this game. Loved it but never played it that much.

Making me tempted to reach for the box!

Twas a fun game, Il agreee with the other posters about server mods ruining it but it was fun while it lasted. Think mp_snipercity? was my fav custom map. If you did not have colourfull text and several different symbols in your name then you were a noob :D
