I recently installed the Hi-Res patch. I was on CD 2 of Prophecy. During a scene with Blair the game crashed and displayed:
Iff::Iff open file 'gameflow/mouse_f.iff' not found and not optional
Then I tried to start Prophecy again and the error said:
Iff::Iff open file 'game/cdlayout.iff' not found and not optional
I have the 1440x900 screen resolution that I've seen others in forum archives have problems with. I had a tough time getting the patch to work. In the process I've had about every error in the archives such as the huge floating ship in the simulator, only displaying 1/4 of the screen, target sight missing or altered on HUD, and these types of things.
A few days ago I re-installed Prophecy and managed to get some type of .iff error which I assume is related to a mission history or save game that was deleted. I started over with a new pilot and finally got the hi-res patch to work with Direct3D on 640x480 resolution. I altered the txt document to say
"640 480 32 driver.d3d" (not sure if that was a good idea). I put all the high res movies into the movie folder. I have half of the target icon on the HUD and don't have a target icon at all when using the stormfires (don't remember if the regular game had no target when using stormfires).
I had continually re-installed the hi res patch over and over again while trying to get it to work, so I'm not sure if this is messing things up. I play Standoff without these problems, so I'm not sure if I need to do whatever the settings are for that.
