Opposing Force problems

OK, here's the deal:
I was extremely bored Monday afternoon, and TV wasn't up yet, so I decide to play a little OpFor. Except, I can't! When I started the game and I get to the main menu the options
> New Game
> Boot Camp
> Load Game
are all disabled.

WTF?

This has just happened since the 1.1.0.9 patch, because I had played OpFor just the day before the patch.

I checked with my brother and his OpFor is broken, too.

Before we go messing with the OpFor installation and all I thought I would check here and see if anyone else has experienced this phenomena.

No, the content control is not active. This is really seems weird to me. I noticed that the same options are the ones that are disabled for the TFC menu.

Anyone else with any ideas?

(thanks everyone)

TFC is multiplayer only so those options are disabled. The only times those options are disabled on Opfor for me is if I forget to put the CD in.

I heard something like you have to change singleplayer command in your config or something. I know I saw this either in bug report on Planethalflife or on the planethalflife forum.

Both copies of my OpForce are just fine....even though technically neither is installed. There on my hard disk but I never reinstalled them after I reinstalled my OS.

Thanks guys.

NaniteFog: I have tried it with the CD in but nada (actually two different CDs)--so I think that there is a bug, maybe in the last patch. I remember in previous patches that it would update HL then I would get a message that it detected OpFor installed and ask if I wanted to update that too. With the most recent patch (1.1.0.9) I did not get that message.

Borg: Thanks I will look on PlanetHalfLife and see if I can find something. (I looked previously, but since I didn't know what I was searching for...

)

I found a thread on PHL that explains a little about what to do. http://www.forumplanet.com/planethalflife/topic.asp?fid=1890&tid=650799

I hope this helps. If not ask more.
