Managed to get Elite Force 2 installed (had help from here actually) and the game plays fine. When I launch it directly from EF2.exe that is. I have had no luck creating a shortcut however. Every time I try (entering the correct command line) I simply get the following.> Elite Force II 1.0 win-x86 May 24 2003 > ----- FS_Startup ----- > Current search path: > Z:\home\griff/base > d:\Setup\Data\ef2.exe/base > > ---------------------- > ----- CL_Shutdown ----- > ----------------------- > Couldn't load default.cfg >Apparently (despite the command line) it's not looking in the right area? Help please?

Based on this, I would suggest doing the following: cd <directory where EF2 is installed> wine EF2.exe
Are you in Linux? If so, you might be able to make a launcher. Can you right-click the Desktop or wherever, click "Create Launcher...", give the new launcher a name like "Elite Force 2", then give a command something like "env WINEPREFIX=[path to prefix you installed it into, [home folder]/.wine by default] wine [path to executable]"? But when you write the path to the executable you have to write it like this: "C:\\Program Files\\Double Slashes\\Example.exe" If you're on a Mac and find a series of terminal inputs that work, you can make a text file with no file extension like this: Code: #! /bin/sh cd <directory where EF2 is installed> wine EF2.exe Or something like that. Then you can just double-click the file and it will go. Cheers, Jake
The files and all else are where the command line lists them.
