Frequently Asked Questions

---

We get asked so many questions very similar in nature, so please check this list for answers before contacting us.

Q: When will FFUR [xxx] be released? A: We absolutely cannot give an exact date because we don’t work to a schedule - our free time is spent (mostly) on FFUR, but we don’t have deadlines. As we’ve said in the past, “It’ll be done when it’s done.”

Q: Where can I download FFUR? A: Please check our downloads page.

Q: How do I install FFUR? A: If you downloaded the .exe file, just run it from the place you saved it and it will install itself like any other installation. If you downloaded the .rar archive, you will need something like WinRAR to extract the file to your game directory. Please read individual instructions within the specific conversion page.

Q: I’ve installed it, what next? A: Some versions of FFUR come with shortcuts within the Codemasters/OperationFlashpoint/FFUR[xxx]/ folder (where ‘FFUR[xxx]’ is the folder in which FFUR is installed) which start the game automatically. If there is not one in your FFUR[xxx] folder, you will need to manaully create a shortcut to the Operation Flashpoint launch icon in your Codemasters/OperationFlashpoint/ folder - it will be ‘FLASHPOINTRESISTANCE.EXE’ if you have the Resistance Expansion. After creating this shortcut, open its properties and add the following to the target line (after the quotes):

-nosplash -nomap -mod=FFUR[xxx] (where FFUR[xxx] is the name of the FFUR modification’s folder)

Then save this and you should be able to play FFUR from this icon.

Q: Can I install other effects into FFUR? A: We don’t recommend installing effects over FFUR. If you wish to do so, make a backup of all the FFUR effects files. Bear in mind you will need to edit the configuration to do this, so we recommend only experienced users attempt this.

Q: Can I install my own custom addons into FFUR? A: Yes, although they will not be made the default unit over the FFUR units without editing the configuration. Just put the custom addons into the Codemasters/OperationFlashpoint/FFUR[xxx]/Addons/ folder.

Q: Can I merge FFUR with [another modification]? A: Yes, but expect things to go wrong unless you know what you’re doing with the configurations. You may merge the addons from two seperate modifications, but only one modification’s set of units will remain the default without editing the configuration. It gets much more complicated when you start mixing effects, so we don’t recommend this.

Q: I have a [slow] connection so I can’t download your files. What can I do? A: Apart from getting a faster connection, you may be able to use a site such as CafePress to burn a CD for you and send it to you. However, these are usually overpriced so if you can find a friend willing to do it for you, get it from them.

Q: Can I join the FFUR Team? A: If you were genuinely interested, you’d be able to find out how

Q: Can I host your website for you? A: If you can give us unlimited bandwidth and storage with databases, subdomains and no perks along with something like cPanel, then maybe. Else, no thank you - we’re happy where we are.
