The NOLF 2 Editing Tools and Source Code are provided "as-is", and are not officially supported by Monolith Productions, LithTech Inc., Fox Interactive, or Sierra Entertainment. Nevertheless, we have found a workaround to a minor problem with the DEdit tool that some users may experience:

After processing a level in DEdit and attempting to test your level by clicking on Run World, some users may experience problems. These problems may include:

• The level runs but geometry has no texture.
• DEdit simply minimizes and the level does not run at all.

To avoid this problem, please be sure to check your Project Path in the menu that appears when you attempt to process your level. The Project Path should be directed to the To2.dep file located in your NOLF2\Game folder. If the problem persists, close your project and exit out of DEdit. You should then be able to reopen DEdit and run your project successfully.
