[UNRESOLVED] Crash when starting DMUC 6.2 (Help Me)

[EthanL55]

First I would like to say, This is an AMAZING mod. Before I played DMUC I hated empire. I was playing Medieval for months regretting that I ever bought empire. This mod changed that.

Now to the problem Im having. I installed the mod after making sure empire was updated to 6.1.
It installed fine. I played it for an hour, shut off my pc, and then came back later to play some more.
The DMUC menu comes up fine. However, when I click on any campaign it will go to the empire loading screen then a message appears from windows. "a problem has occured with Empire:total war and needs to shutdown. Windows will notify you if there is a solution to the problem."

Ive installed the mod in the empire total war folder (I have vista and so have a "Program Files" and "Program Files (x86) folders. Ive tried installing the mod in each of them on seperate occasions), ive reset and reinstalled scripts in diagnostics and nothing is working.

Ive read all the threads I could find on this problem and cant find a solution.

Please help! I loved every second of this mod and want to play it badly!

Also, I have just installed DM to see if it would work and I get the same problem.

I presume you mean 1.6?

Does your vanilla game work? If not, you should verify it via steam. That is a good start

[EthanL55]

Yes 1.6 is what I meant

Vanilla works fine and i have verified the game before installing DMUC each time ive tried.

[Tango12345]

OK, so vanilla's fine. Do you have a 64 bit version of vista (in which case you must manually browse to the ETW folder. You may have already done this, but better safe than sorry.

Concerns all versions of DarthMod Empire
Normally 9/10 of Empire Total War users will not have to change the default installation path of the installers.
But, there are users who:
-Have installed Steam or generally the Empire: Total War game in another directory than the default path.
-Have Windows Vista or 7 64 bit which do not use the "program files" of the default path.

If you belong in one of the above mentioned categories:
Manually browse the installer to target a destination path exactly where the "empire total war" folder is.
For example X:\X\Steam\SteamApps\common\empire total war\

[EthanL55]

Yes, I have 64 bit Vista. I also have two program files folders. One is "program files" and the other "program files (x86)". Ive tried installing to each of them with the same result.

At one point during installation a message pops up saying
"Windows could not find
C:\Users\User\Appdata\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Empire\Scripts\User.empire_script.txt"

Still unsure what the issue is

You couldnt have said it better man, cause i have the same damn problem!!!
It works when i choose a different campaign such as the late, custom, or uprising campaign.. but they also only work once then i experience the same damn problem.. It also happens when i try to make a new campaign, or simply to load a previous one

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!

Well for a start there is NO point installing anything in the prgram files folder-everything should be in the X86 program files.


You've done this bit already apparently
((What seems to have happened is that your scripts are missing-go to the DMUC launcher options and reinstall the scripts (diagnostics optsion, then enable advanced diagnostics.)))

So,
Go to your ETW scripts folder
Here:
\Users\User\Appdata\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Empire\Scripts\

What exactly is in it?

I have the same problem. Did what you told me to do. However this error came about after missclicking changing the number of turns per year for me. I put it back on to 2 but no luck.
In my user.empire.script I have:
mod DMUC_CP.pack;
mod DMUC_NoTrails.pack;
mod DMUC_BSM.pack;
mod DMUC_Grenades.pack;
mod DMUC_CAN.pack;
mod DMUC_FORTS.pack;
mod DMUC_Tech.pack;
mod DMUC_Navy.pack;
mod DMUC_CORE.pack;
mod DMUC_Update.pack;
mod DMUC_DFM.pack;
mod DMUC_Sounds.pack;
mod DMUC_Music.pack;
mod DMUC_Graphics.pack;
mod DMUC_Models.pack;
mod DMUC_Skins.pack;
mod DMUC_Deploy.pack;
mod DMUC_HUD.pack;
mod DMUC_Arrows.pack;
mod DMUC_Borders.pack;
mod DMUC_Markers.pack;
mod DMUC_Skies.pack;
mod DMUC_Fonts.pack;
mod DMUC_AUM.pack;
mod DMUC_Battles.pack;
mod DMUC_Render.pack;

[Tango12345]

Have you verified ETW with steam?

[Sebastos Abdes Pantera]

Yes. I am beginning to think its me now. Napoleon total war is now doing the same thing. Very strange. I am going to uninstall ETW and Napoleon use CCleaner and then reinstall. Not too sure why this just could of happened. Was working fine before then.

[Tango12345]

Hmm, yes hopefully a complete clean and reinstall will sort it out.

[EthanL55]

The script folder contains:

DMUC folder

preferences.empire_script.txt

profile.last used mods.txt



In the DMUC folder:

CC
GC
LC
MP
RTI
UC
Uprising
USER_BACKUP
WP

That is after a fresh DMUC 6.2 install after verifying the game.

[Tango12345]

You're not using mod manager are you?

[Snakes27049]

hi, i've find a solution to that problem: 1 enable adv diag option; 2 reinstall user script files; 3 reset DMUC user script files; 4 open ETW script folder; 5 in the UC folder open user.empire_script.txt; delete the arrow scritpt; 6 try to start a new ultimate camping; for the other campings do the same in their user.empire_scripts.txt; Do NOT change any option in the darthmod launcher. (sorry for my english but i'm italian)

[njdubs]

where exactly is this txt file?
