Offline Practice

[westy]

Can not get the offline practice mode to start. I can click on the option and it appears to almost start, but then goes back to desktop.

Not sure if this feature was tweaked or removed in the latest patch, in favour of the online training server.

Thanks...

That usually indicates that you need to update your drivers. That the normal cause for that crash during loading.

Rgr, I am off to work for the night... will check the boards periodically... and look forward to trying things out in the morning we I gets home...

Thanks...

[bloo]

Please try reinstalling the Full Install.

We suspect that during installation of the patch, or possibly download, something is getting corrupted causing it to fail to find the font.

[westy]

Thanks Bloo... will try that when I get home in the morning... Cheers for the help... get some sleep now man! hehehe

[westy]

Thanks Bloo and X15... got home this morning and cleaned all the old stuff off...cleaned the registry and installed a virgin full install and it worked wonderfully...

Thanks for all the help! Cheers
