Just Cause game .arc archives

[tgp1994]

THe plugin is almosrt 4 years old or so, so there's not much support for it. Anyway,. what OS are you using? Can you attach a debug.log file here? (press ctrl-d) and what version of the game are you using?

Oh, it's 4 years old? Sorry if I'm bumping an old thread here. Anyways, I'm on Windows XP SP3. Here is the log:

Unfortunately, there's only one version of the game. (1.0) It's disappointing they haven't patched it

In terms of the error, perhaps you could try rebuilding the project in Visual Studio 2008? Maybe it's using some obsolete libraries. (That is if you even have the project anymore )
