Thanks for the thanks! I wanted to make the fix available again but didn't really make the decision to re-upload it until Mystorian and another player requested it... then I got off my butt (not literally) and did something about it! I was only reluctant at first because I wasn't sure of a good file host and my upload speed is pretty rubbish.

Hi,

I tried to run the game, downloaded Flyboy's folder and put it on C:. I used my disc 3 from LB Anthology, the game recognizes the disc but I got the message that LB has stopped working. There is something more that I am missing?

I am using Win 7 64 bits.

Thanks.

I believe his folder is for LB2, NOT the Anthology.

Mine is working great on my Win8 64bit rig, except I can't get any higher resolution than the 640x480.

Well,

I checked the folder and I don't see any wrapper or cpu limiter. I also have the disc for LB2. There is an installation guide for this?

Thanks.

Aullido, my fix is simply the game in an installed state. I have LB Anthology but only to say that I've got it. wink

I've only used the Anthology edition once or twice, but it may be that it uses a different set of registry entries to the separate retail LB2.

However, from the message that you say you get, that is common for LB2 on Windows 7. It may be that you need to apply Phoenix's fix.

First of all, apply the Windows XP (Service Pack 3) compatibility mode to the LB2.EXE. That is what mine is currently set on.

Next, download this fix...
http://digitality.comyr.com/flyboy/lb2/setup/LB2_Crash_GUI_Sound_fix.zip
... and extract the 'Database Fix' folder to a temporary location. Run the 'install.bat' file. This stability fix should now be applied.

Also, are you using a glide wrapper? My fix package comes with 3DFX enabled by default. If you are not, either install a glide wrapper or change the display mode the game uses by running the 'lb2cfg.exe' file found in the game folder.

Better make sure you have a backup of all of you files since they can delete the files without warning if they are like all the other files storage sites.

Smart man. smile
It always amazes me how many people do just have their files online without a backup of their own and then whine to all get out when their files are lost.

I would never just have files online simply for file corruption issues, nevermind actual loss of files.

It is working on W7 64. Do you confirm that NO usb controls like joystick are allowed? And I still have the debriefing crash
