Hi all, I've been trying for a week to figure this out so here it goes. I have Battlefield 3 and I'm trying to get it to play on my RGH slim.

I have FSD 2.26 installed. I have swap.xex and the ini files also.

The ini file and the swap file are located @ usb:\plugins folder. The ini looks like this:

Battlefield 3
[45410950]
disk1 = Usb:\Games\Battlefield 3 Disc1\
disk2 = Usb:\Games\Battlefield 3 Disc2\

Whenever I load BF3 for camp it wants disk 2 and it doesn't go any further...

Any help is much appreciated!!

have you re-run dashlaunch since updating the ini file? you also need to add the swap.xex in the options.ini file irrc

You DO NOT need to keep re-running dashlaunch.

It installs xex patches to flash. That's it.

Everything else is done within the launch.ini.

OP - paste what you have in launch.ini and in multi.ini.

Also confirm the locations of swap.xex and the two ini files.

My default ini looks like this:


[QuickLaunchButtons]
BUT_X = Hdd:\Content\0000000000000000\C0DE9999\00080000\C0DE99990F586558
Default = Usb:\Freestyle\default.xex

[Plugins]
plugin1 = Usb:\swap.xex

[Settings]
nxemini = true
pingpatch = true
contpatch = true
fatalreboot = true
regionspoof = true
dvdexitdash = true
xblaexitdash = true
nosysexit = true
livestrong = false
remotenxe = true
fatalfreeze = true
nohud = true

...and my multi looks like this....

; this ini has the same rules as launch.ini and must be placed on the root of a device
; paths are determined the same way (Usb/Hdd/etc) see dash launch sample ini for more info

; title ID is used for ini category (can be found in fsd, with xextool, the folder name built by iso2god/nxe install)
; use only numbers and small letters here
; only disks listed in the correct titleid category will be parsed from this ini
[454108df]
; dead space 2
; paths for extracted games MUST end in a \
; extracted game folder MUST have a default.xex in it, even if it's just a 0 byte file
disk1 = Hdd:\Games\Dead Space 2 D1\
; paths for GOD games must point at the root CON descriptor, and NOT end in a \
disk2 = Hdd:\Content\0000000000000000\454108DF\00007000\B8605B3BAFB748ACD08A


Battlefield 3
[45410950]
disk1 = Usb:\Games\Battlefield 3 Disc1\
disk2 = Usb:\Games\Battlefield 3 Disc2\

I have the swap.xex located at Usb:\swap.xex and the multi ini is in Usb:\multi.ini. and my default ini is at Usb:\Installer\default.ini

I just bypassed the switch disc on BF3 by place the content folder from disc 1 in hdd1 then converted the disk 2 to GOD and place it at external usb where FDS could find, the remaining of disk 1 is no longer needed now.
But I'm curious how this multidisk feature of FSD2 works. I thought this functionality of swap.xex was embedded. Can anyone clarify that :)

hmmm

Battlefield 3
[45410950]
disk1 = Usb:\Games\Battlefield 3 Disc1\
disk2 = Usb:\Games\Battlefield 3 Disc2\

should be

;Battlefield 3
[45410950]
disk1 = Usb:\Games\Battlefield 3 Disc1\
disk2 = Usb:\Games\Battlefield 3 Disc2\

Otherwise the system will try to parse 'Battlefield 3' and fail.

The semicolon is the commented out section. so the whole thing should read:

; this ini has the same rules as launch.ini and must be placed on the root of a device
; paths are determined the same way (Usb/Hdd/etc) see dash launch sample ini for more info

; title ID is used for ini category (can be found in fsd, with xextool, the folder name built by iso2god/nxe install)
; use only numbers and small letters here
; only disks listed in the correct titleid category will be parsed from this ini
;[454108df]
; dead space 2
; paths for extracted games MUST end in a \
; extracted game folder MUST have a default.xex in it, even if it's just a 0 byte file
;disk1 = Hdd:\Games\Dead Space 2 D1\
; paths for GOD games must point at the root CON descriptor, and NOT end in a \
;disk2 = Hdd:\Content\0000000000000000\454108DF\00007000\B8 605B3BAFB748ACD08A


;Battlefield 3
[45410950]
disk1 = Usb:\Games\Battlefield 3 Disc1\
disk2 = Usb:\Games\Battlefield 3 Disc2\


replace yours with the above (note the semicolons).
