I recently reformatted and re-installed ETW and DMUC. I went ingame once to test out the increased smoke effetcs (which i never knew existed last time i played) and found the game too laggy on the max settings i put the game at. So i quit, went into DMUC options, turned smoke off and clicked the Grand Campaign button.
It starts booting ETW, but at the loading screen it gives me a "Empire.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." then CTD's I've tried putting the effects (smoke, etc) back on that i had originally when it loaded, but to no avail.
I've never had problems with this mod before, so i wonder what's going on here. The game is verified as i have the same steam account as i did when i originally activated it.
Any ideas? I was looking forward to starting a new campaign tonight >_<
Empire boots up normally, without DMUC. But the DMUC does not, i'll have a go at uninstalling then reinstalling it while i await people's responses.
The game info is V1.5.0 Build 1332.21992
