Hi all has anyone else had a problem with the last mission in this game (oil refinery)?
I thought I may have gotten a bad download, but I've just re-downloaded/installed and the same thing happens!
The enemy appear as 'still' pictures floating along the ground and I have no weapon indicator.
I've tried all the different graphics options but to no avail.
Is it a fault in the programming?
Thanks for any suggestions :)

Matty,
Sorry I am no help to you on this. I have not played for some time, but really enjoy the game. I have to be honest that I hadn't made it that far yet either. I would have to suggest that you check to make sure your drivers are up to date first. IF that is fine then maybe on their web page there is something about it; maybe in the forum ( http://www.prismthegame.com/game.htm ). I am sorry I would look more myself, but having some other troubles that are limiting my time. I hope some of that helps or someone that knows more come on to help!
Best Regards,
ibwebb

Unfortunately, the link to the forum at the National Guard site is broken. So, I decided to start over, as there's a newer version available. This could take some time, working through the whole game again lol.
Thanks for the link ibwebb, I'd never have known about the updated version otherwise :)

i'd back up your save file just in case if you're going to do a fresh install.

OK, so I got to the last level, same problem. I decided to give it a go anyway, despite not being able to see which AI's are shooting/dead/alive, I finished it. One advantage is that you can't take damage or die! However it would seem to be a fault in the program. Thought I'd let you know :)

I've edited the name of the title to reflect the nature of the questions asked about this game. Nice to see some are still playing this excellent freeware game. :)
Click HERE to go to the original post (from week 17 of the free games project).
Just to remind the community about this free FPS I though I’d post some screen shots and info about the game plus more downloads. The game has been updated since I originally posted it . The download size is about 1.5Gb in size. Probably a little large if you are on dial up, but not impossible to download. If you are on dial up a download manager that can resume downloading is essential.

Hi iwavns
Sounds like you've gone past the stairs. Once you've gone through the sewer into the fort, move along the passageway dispatching the guards, until you see the two cannon. Hug the wall to your right and move along it into the courtyard (don't leave the wall, keep it to your right and the open space to your left.)
You should pass between the wall and a 'sandwich-board' sign with the face of a little boy and the words "A mind is a terrible thing to waste"
Before you get to the scaffolding, there's an opening on the right. You will see some intel on the floor. That's the spiral stairwell you need (there's a guard with his back to you at the top!).

Hi iwavns, there's quite a lot of FPS games that you can get for free. Most are online multiplayer, but some do have a singleplayer element to them as well. I don't have time to link to any of the ones below, but you should easily be able to find the home pages via Google:
Nexuis
Gunz: The Duel
World of Padman
Combat Arms
Alien Arena
Cube
Open Arena
Kuma Wars
Tru Combat elite
Control MongerRealm war
Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory
War Rock
Warsow
Despatch of Army
D Day Normandy
Urban Terror
Tremulous
F.E.A.R.Combat
Digital Paintball v2.0
There's a couple hanging around at the back of my mind, but just can't remember the names at this time. Of the above I recommend War Rocks, Gunz: The Duel, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory and F.E.A.R. Combat. I've not tried all of the games as I prefer a game with some Single player action as well as multiplayer.
