Insanity 2 not working...help
I have followed all the tutorials on the site and extracted the .dtas to the hidden and dangerous deluxe directory but everytime I open the editor all that comes up is the splash screen and the properties thing, and when I try to open a map directly from the missions folder it comes up with an error : Unknown Command Line Option: model. What I can't understand is that a few years ago I installed HDD on this very same computer and it worked, then I uninstalled it and now, several years on, having semi-mastered my modding skills, decided to have a crack at throwing together some missions on HDD, so I downloaded it and was met with the error described, so I uninstalled it, downloaded it again and still no luck. Any help whatsoever would be very much appreciated.

When you start the editor the first time you should see an default map with an duck, plane, box etc... has that one ever been loaded?
Did you opened an original map from HDD?

Re: Insanity 2 not working...help
when i first opened the map editor years ago on my old computer yes, it did, but for some reason it only loads the splash screen now and the properties box but not the actual editor like it used to. I've tried opening an original map from HDD by going to the missions folder and opening one from there but that's when I get the command line error.

Re: Insanity 2 not working...help
Try to start first the game in the safe mode and after that start the editor. Does that help?
Or try to disable the ansitophic Filter in the setup

Try an fresh install of hdd and before you install it check if the registry settings are also free from hdd entires. Try to start the editor before you unpack anything

Re: Insanity 2 not working...help
ok, will do, but just one quick question, and please excuse my ignorance, but how do I check the registry settings? Sorry, I'm not really that great with the technical sides of computers.

After you have deinstalled it you type in the run command "regedit" and press enter.
An new window should open with the registry .. be careful what you do there! .. check for this key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lonely Cat Games and delete it. After you installed it again it should be created from the setup with the default settings
