flame knives - help!

I picked up flame knives recently to play it since I've been told that it's one of the best (and so far it is) but I've bumped into a problem. FK-110, the SEMPQ, does not work. (Downloaded from here) When I open a map, the thing works right up until I press start on the briefing. Then the screen goes black, as though it's laoding, but then my regular OS cursor appears (instead of the sc cursor) and the game just stops. The maps aren't the problem because I can play them normally in BW UMS, although the names are all off. So what's going on? I'm using SC 1.16.1, if that's relevant.

I do not think FK uses Firegraft, does it? Chances are it's because you're on 1.16.1. I'm not sure which version FK needed, but a good place to start would be 1.10.

Yeah, I just checked FK's download site. It provides some auxiliary files for BW 1.10; I presume it needs them. Do I just replace my BW files with the ones in that package?

Yeah, just replace the exe and dll files (I think those are the ones), and then run the game.

Yeah, it was because I hadn't downgraded to 1.10. FK seems to have some thundergraft parts. Thanks!
