Suddenly I can't open my Dark Loader, I get this error window in French although my Windows language is English:

a windows update finally killed it off, perhaps?
if that's the case, here's a sentence I'd thought I'll never use without being sarcastic - good job, microsoft.

I think what he's trying to say is switch to FMSel, NewDarkLoader or Angel Loader. Darkloader is just old and unsupported and is inevitably going to cause issues. And no one is going to be interested in researching why it isn't working.

i got the same propblem after installing the FM Patriot

I believe Patriot specifically notes in its readme that it is not compatible with DarkLoader. As for this error, I do not believe enough information is given to properly diagnose the issue.
Regardless, like others here, I would not recommend using DarkLoader. We now have quite the array of viable alternatives to DarkLoader, many of which offer improved functionality and some completely new features.

yeah. basically, think of darkloader as a 3.5 floppy drive connected to your new laptop via a thunderbolt to usb converter with an usb to fdd adapter which draws its power from an extra pc psu. if it works, and you like the exposed wiring, additional power draw, all the converter cables and modules sitting on your table etc, then good for you, but if all that blows up right into your face, don't expect anything but pointing and laughing.
to make it short, yes, just use ANY of the currently available NewDark loaders.

I think it may be size related or from outdated limits in DarkLoader to handle that much stuff since the campaign is over 2 GB zipped.
With AngelLoader out now it's hard to understand why to still use DarkLoader.
@voodoo47: I think you forgot to add a Zip-drive & SCSI controller, no wonder it's not working!

In this case the installation probably is messed up, since the OMs can't be restored. Reinstall T2 or use the FM FAQ to clean up the files.
Did anyone mention that Darkloader isn't supported any more? Don't use it. DL users may be insulted, btw. New entry in the FAQ.

I don't want to use other launchers because I have entered comments for each fan mission that I played over many years, if I switch I have to manually reenter these comments for each mission, which is hundreds, *uck that.
