thespungo Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I've used the thiny before with zero problems, but as soon as I give the new version a shot on my brand new computer I run into some problems. In the midst of installing some uniforms, I get this windows message each time: "fifafs.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I remember Kraw saying something about fifas before, but I can't find where he said it and what exactly he said about the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgbaseball Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 I can't install portraits anymore without corrupting my portrait.big. Maybe these problems are related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krawhitham Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 fifafs is the only BIG utility that does not corrupt files. It is they only one that obeys EA's hash rules. But it really does not like: Overclocking Bad memory bad HDs You are limited to how many files you can import base on how much memory your computer has Plus I do not know how it reacts to Vista Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krawhitham Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Yes When I was tiring to come up with a way to make MVPedit work with BIG archives with more that 3000 items I tried adding files with eazip first. Eazip would corrupt the files, I then found ImpBIG.exe ImpBIG.exe seems to corrupt if you add too many files at one time but MVPedit only does 3 files at a time at most The problem with ImpBIG.exe is it would not delete item from BIG files, But eazip does and does not seem to corrupt when doing so. So with MVPedit ImpBIG.exe imports new files eazip deletes files from within BIG archives At the time Fifafs was not an option because it was too slow, adding 1 face would have taken like 5 minutes. I have not revisited the issue since fifafs increased its speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krawhitham Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 download it again, I updated to the newest version of fifafs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thespungo Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 Got the new one, but I'm still having a fifas problem. I'm thinking there are some slight compatibility problems with XP Media Center, as I never had any problems on XP Home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
