Error when installing freespace demo?

@klx300r
You are talking about Freespace 2, which is a different game. This is Hyperion's version of Descent Freespace: The Great War we're discussing here.

Well since i was having problems with quite a few games i decided to do a clean installation of the OS with update 1 and the game is now installing will let you all know how it plays

Well the game starts but when i try to enter a name on the first menu it says there is not enough space ? and then it will crash to workbench?

Could it be because i need warp3d? or could it be becuase im using an adaptor for the internal onboard display (i have a vga adaptor that plugs on the sam internaly) or is it becuase i just have not got a clue what im doing with amiga's as all my games either dont install or just simply crash?

It more likely because it was compiled for WarpOS many years ago with an ancient compiler, and used dirty tricks to get decent speed out of the old PowerUP hardware.

A new build of the full game for OS4.1 will be out soon, though.

Or god forbid, you could simply use a PC or a Mac to run it. Not like the universe is going to implode.

Yes i could but why would i want to do that when i can play it on a miggy. its not just that game its all games they install or wont install and when they are installed they either play then crash or dont play at all.
