I installed the smoke and blood mod aswell as the battlefield sound one. I wasn't aware that it would stop me playing vanilla empire on multiplayer though, because not being a gameplay altering mod I figured it wouldn't matter.

When I found out it did, i deleted the mod files that I coppied into the Empire folder. The game however crashed when I tried to run it. So I deleted all local game files via steam menu and re-downloaded it and installed it. It crashed in the same place, when it came to the videos while loading the game. I've deleted and reinstalled / downloaded yet again and even after the update it still won't load the game....


Any ideas? Or help would be nice... :p
