Haven't been able to play this in weeks - always get this popping up on my screen.

We have had a couple of people report problems due to missing or corrupted fonts, particularly the Arial font. Here's some info that has helped others:

To manually install or re-install a font:

Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.

Double-click the Fonts folder.

On the File menu, click Install New Font.

In the Drives box, click the drive that has the floppy or CD-ROM that

contains the fonts you want to add. If you are installing fonts from a

floppy disk, this is typically drive A or drive B. If you are installing the

fonts from a compact disc, your CD-ROM drive is typically drive D.

Double-click the folder that contains the fonts.

Click the font you want to add. To select more than one font at a time,

press and hold down the Ctrl key while you click each font.

Click to select the Copy Fonts To Fonts Folder check box. The Windows\Fonts

folder is where the fonts that are included with Windows XP are stored.

Click OK.

I've tried removing and installing the Arial font and it still keeps occuring, I did install thje dotnet 2.0 and I did get it to work for awhile initally, however now it won't load at all.

What operating system are you using? XP?

Also, I think I'm only using .NET 1.1

[bartbert]

I think others have reported problems with the 2.0 framework. You can try to force the game to use the correct runtime by doing the following:

1. Open up the file "DiFOLobbyClient.exe.config" in a text editor, such as Notepad. This file should be located in "C:\Program Files\Battlefront\Down In Flames Beta Demo\bin"

2. Add the following to the file:

<startup>

<supportedRuntime version="v1.1.4322"/>

<supportedRuntime version="v1.0.3705"/>

</startup>

This should be placed right below the <configuration> tag.

3. Save the file and try running the Lobby.

4. If the above works, you will need to add the same entries to the file "DiFOGameClient.exe.config"

Tried this, unfortunately it didn't work.

I did a Google search on the error that you're getting and it is possible that you have some Spyware software or perhaps a bad driver that may be interfering with .NET.

Here is one discussion thread where someone had the same error. If you read through it all the way, it turned out to be a Spyware program causing the problem.

Here's another one that suggests that Spyware may be the culprit:
