Lot of bad things going on here...
First of all, I only have one Potc disk, since I can't find the second, so I can't install it all the way. Luckily, I had a backup, but it had an older build12 installed in it. I can get it to play by halfway installing it then shutting down the installer to trick the registry, and then put the backup in the folder. This works fine, but when I download the updates and install them, it deletes the engine.ini, so I have to copy one over from the backup. Then it starts up, but there are white blocks circling around the intro screen and the mouse is just a white block. I start a new game, but most of the ships have no icons, they're just white. Anyway, when I finish and it starts to load it just goes to a black screen. Is there anyway to fix this, or to just get the build12 install out of my backup copy so I can start fresh? I really want to play! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/urgh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":urgh" border="0" alt="urgh.gif" />
