Launching from IS

[aChallenged1]

I'm having a problem with IS launching VG.

I have the actual game files on a drive other than C:\ and when I run the launcher, which has to be on C:\ it works fine. However, when I try to launch using IS, it wants to reinstall VG on my C:\ which is a no go, not enough room.

So far I haven't been able to get it to work. I'm sure it has to do with these settings but cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to fix it.

	</Set>

Help would be greatly appriciated. removed actual GUID's because I do not know if they are system/install specific.

You need to use Vanguard.exe instead of the launchpad.exe.

This is exactly mine. It loads the extension after startup, of course ..so you might want to remove that.

Yeah, I figured that out today, before reading this.

Thanks though.

Only problem now is that when I run VG with IS I get video blackouts when I face certain directions. About 1mm of the edge my screen shows a hint of whats around me, but the majority is black, until I turn far enough away.

I noticed something else. When typing it seems that it misses to relay the typed text to VG if you type normal speed.. so you need to type Slooowly.. IS problem? Or maybe my settings hmm, will try with your setup later today Ama

This happened to me in Beta 2 ..but for some reason doesn't happen now with Beta 3... And, I have no idea if/when I changed anything.

I think this is a Vanguard thing, though I havn't tested it without innerspace being loaded. If it happens while innerspace is loaded, then you need to talk to Lax because it is something he'll probably need to fix as it might be a directx type of issue.

Ama, might be a purely IS deal, because I haven' t loaded ISXVG yet.
