TacticalRooster22 Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 As far as I know, you can't play it on Windows Vista or 7. FD3, I'm not sure, it works fine for me on Vista but I'm not sure about 7. Have you tried running it on compatibility mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunter42 Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 ive got a problem with the demo for FD2 everytime i install i try to play it some error comes upAs far as I know, you can't play it on Windows Vista or 7. FD3, I'm not sure, it works fine for me on Vista but I'm not sure about 7. Have you tried running it on compatibility mode? FD3 runs fine with Windows 7.Compatibility mode does not fix the issue with Fire Department 2.The reason the Fire department 2 demo doesn't work appears to be down to DRM. When I ran the demo in Admin mode, an error popped up on the demo launcher, and Windows7 informed me that the "Starforce Protection Driver" has been blocked due to incompatibility. If you go to a section on the Starforce website, it tells you that products using versions below 5.5 are not supported on windows 7.The good news is that there's a patch for the game. The patch will most likely not work with the demo, but I'm downloading it to see what the release notes are.The bad news is that while Starforce offers a free upgrade to publishers/developers to fix the problem, Monte Cristo shut down last year. So if the patch doesn't fix the issue, you have no hope.edit: Couldn't get it to run on XP on a virtual machine either 2nd edit: Just ran the patch and got the fixes included in the patch. I believe I got the patch from here. The patch appears to just have fixed bugs in the game, no support for windows 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim_Wizard Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Googling to try and solve this issue too... Starforce is notorious for crap costumer support and had a lawsuit filled against them for DMR using rootkits that were believed to steal personal information (I think lol) I'm looking for a work around, well I have a work around but I can't post it on the site.

TacticalRooster22 Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 Too bad Monte Cristo shut down, they made good firefighter games! But yeah, I wishI could get FD 2 to work on my computer, but it doesn't work with Vista. FD3 is a good game though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr matt5432123 Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Hello! So first off I am going to apologize for re-opening an old topic but the link for the fix for this game is broken if somebody could re-upload then Thank you. In the mean time I will look for it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itchboy Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 And this is where I have to close this topic. The last post on this topic is 5 years, its pretty unlikely that there is any support for this mod. You yourself know that its bumping a dead topic, so I wont go into explaining the rules. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
