woj107 Posted October 2, 2023 Posted October 2, 2023 Well I wonder if this is the end of years of renegade on this ol pc:(...have been trying to connect for about a week and still doesnt load the game. I try to enter through renlist or in game2.exe in the folder and I am hit with a Launcher warning message that says " Warning: Renegade was not started via the launcher. The auto -updater did not run and you may not have the latest version". Yes I am still running windows xp and have gotten this message before and just hit ok and it opened but now all of a sudden it does nothing...could this be the end of my renegade life after 21 years lol..:( no for real will be sad though 1
Vultima Posted October 2, 2023 Posted October 2, 2023 Reinstall Rene from scratch might be easier than trying to figure out what specifically is wrong
woj107 Posted October 2, 2023 Author Posted October 2, 2023 Not sure that is a possibility...cant recall seeing my renegade cds from years ago and based on what I've heard numerous people saying that it is mad difficult to set up renegade from scratch and connect to the online servers. I have a buddy that is super good with computers and he said he tried for months reading posts and blogs and this and that and still couldnt connect. Which would mean that it would be impossible for me as well...you can see I still have windows xp lol..
Manuel857 Posted October 2, 2023 Posted October 2, 2023 try launching thru Renegade.exe C:\Westwood\Renegade\Renegade.exe

shaitan Posted October 2, 2023 Posted October 2, 2023 You are going to have to update that OS sometime, woj. Putting it off won't help you. TT stopped all support of XP before, and you're probably out of luck. 1
crushu06 Posted October 2, 2023 Posted October 2, 2023 Goodbye woj, it has been a pleasure my friend. One day we will meet again if not this life in the next 5

The worst part is...ive been communicating on here via my phone because the rencorner website wont even load on my computer lol...says The site can't provide a secure connection. I told ya that this computer is mad old lol...so cant look at my pm on my computer basically... Also just did that system info lookup and says OSName Microsoft Windows xp professional Version 5.1.2600 service pack 3 Processor x86 family 6 model 58 intel 3203 Mhz Intel core i5-3470 cpu@3.20Ghz 3.48GB of ram If that helps lol

shaitan Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 Goz is right, with those specs you can run Windows 10. That "3.48GB of ram" is really going to be 4GB, which is the low bar for Win 10 64-bit.

Is this the hard stop then you think? Also i used to use renlist dont know if that makes a difference but when I try to open rencorner on renlist then same message..

At least u can launch it. Again someone changed ini files at RC. @shaitan put in da.ini for woj this: TTRevision=8271 and then !fds reload. I think u can handle v4.6 update 9 clients since u are not using custom dialogs and time scale.
