[ABANDONED] CTD on startup

[Eruck]

Well the name says it all really...

When i start DMUC 6.2 I get the normal loading screen for a while then a ctd. I have tried reinstalling scripts using the diagnostics...

Any help would be hugely appreciated, thank you in advance.

ok, what happens when you click on the Edit Script button just before you start a campaign?

[Eruck]

It brings up the user_empire_script in notepad

Check if you have all the files listed in the script in your .../Empire Total War/data folder
if not then try reinstalling the mod, or downloading it again

Note: you must have the latest version of ETW(1.6) for DMUC

I have the same problem. I could run 6.1 fine, uninstalled it and did a full reinstall of empire and installed DMUC 6.2 and.....nothing...just 'empire has stopped working'

[Eruck]

Have got all listed files and am sur have 1.6 (noticed i have two Dmuc_media.pack s shoulld i delete one?

[♔hammeredalways♔]

to be sure you have 1.6 yu should simply connect to steam and follow the instructions here

http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=392075

then re-run your DMUC installer

[Eruck]

I have done both of those things and i still get the same problem.

[♔hammeredalways♔]

does your vanilla ETW load and play ok?

[loony]

for me even vanilla crashes at startup :-(

[♔hammeredalways♔]

if Vanilla fails, your first step is verify via steam

http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=392075

failing that you would have to uninstall and the re-install ETW

[loony]

did the verification twice.
i guess i will re-download tomorrow...

[Eruck]

My vanilla works perfectly. i'm very confused...

[Tango12345]

If vanilla works then it is a problem with DMUC-uninstall your existing DMUC setup of you haven't already and then reinstall it from a new download.

[Humbug_Total]

I have the same problem.

DMUC used to run fine for me wth an older version, was like 5.x . After a long absent from playing I was eager to try it again and looked for patches, downloaded 6.2 and installed it. Now I also crash on startup.

I have Empire patched to 1.6, I have verified it, Vanilla runs fine, other mods which I tried because of this also, I tried another download of the installer, I tried to reset and reinstall the user script, I have this in my script.txt

Your help is apprechiated.

[Tango12345]

Right, for starters could you check that all of the files named in the script appear in your data folder?

(I presume you uninstalled your last version of DarthMod before installing this one)

[Humbug_Total]

There we got it. I miss the CP.pack, which wonders me alot, as I allready tried reinstalling and using different downloads by doing that. Is there any easy fix for that, as reinstalling for some reason doesn´t seem to for me .
I uninstalled everytime I try to reinstall, also checked for some missed files in the Appdata/CA/Empire/scripts.

[Tango12345]

Right, have you tried uninstalling then reinstalling from a fresh download?

[Humbug_Total]

Right, have you tried uninstalling then reinstalling from a fresh download?

Yep.

[Tango12345]

Hmm, so vanilla runs fine, yet DarthMod does not.
Gimme a minute I'll try and think of something else.
