Alright, now that I've solved my virus and hardware problems, I'm trying to get the DCUG in shape to work on it again so I can get the darn thing finished, but I've got some odd problems. Every once in a while, when clicking "Next" or "Back" between base scenes and missions, or after choosing a team, I get an error saying something along the lines of "the program failed to start because MSVCRTD.dll was missing." The game seems to keep working despite that, but I also am getting hard freezes in the similar spots. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
Odd issue, but this may shine some light on the situation and offer a fix: MSVCRTD.dll error (http://pcsupport.about.com/od/findbyerrormessage/a/msvcrtd-dll-not-found-missing-error.htm)
E.T.A, that file should also be on the first cd. If you can locate it, copy it to your [...]Irrational Games\Freedom Force vs The 3rd Reich folder
Thanks Prev., that does certainly make the issue more clear. I am not 100% certain that I reinstalled FF before I recovered my backup version of the game folder. I'm thinking (and hoping) that this is the case.
