[Version 3.x] Startup Issues

**husserlTW** · May 22, 2012, 07:32 AM

Before you post your problem please read the following:

If your game crashes on ACW loading campaign:

You have to login manually in Steam first and then start ACW (or any mod that uses a launcher). If you miss that and receive a CTD then you have to reboot before trying again.

If you want to post a start up problem:

Post your problem for technical support including ACW log report. Also tell us exactly when the CTD happens (e.g. on ACW screen loading, on ACW loading campaign, on game's menu, etc.). If you want to get an answer you have to include in your post the log report:

With 3.x version, a new future has been added that will help us support ACW better. A report log is created every time you start DMN. This log records all the launcher's actions and will help us provide a better support in problems related with start up. Now there is no need to ask you back "have you installed mod in the right location?", "do you use another mod?" etc. All needed infos would be provided by ACW log report.

So from now on: If you have problems with game's startup, please copy the report found in ...\empire total war\ACW\acw_log.txt in the post along with your question/problem. Since this report may be very long, it would be good to use the "code" tags. So select the text you copied and press the code button:

I started Steam in admin mode first, then started the launcher in admin mode, selected warpath and CS, then it gets to the initial load screen, then CTD. I have tried rebooting, I have also tried running vanilla empire without closing the launcher but I still get the start up crash. I also looked at the user scripts and they are blank and ran the check files from the launcher but the files it brings up belong to DMUC. I know you say in another thread that any files that show during the check do not belong in Empire but I am not removing DMUC. During 3.1 I had the same issue, but when I closed the launcher selected vanilla ready, and played a game on DMUC for a few hours, I was able to start 3.1 just fine then. The only problem then was lots of CTD's during the campaign, almost always following a successful battle. Unfortunately this same trick doesn't seem to be working this time around.

Good luck then...

And every time you start ACW make a prey for the game to load last the ACW files. Because if, lets say, game loads DMUC text file last, than the one of ACW, then a CTD is guaranteed.

Do you have a problem or are you asking because log shows Steam off?

**KamilW** · May 24, 2012, 08:22 AM

Hi! I've installed ACW 3.2 yesterday. I had to delete some files from European Wars II. ACW ran just fine. I even played a bit in 3 campaigns as CS, just to try.

Today, I want to start a new campaign. I start the launcher, select Warpath and CS (I was wondering, do I have to select Warpath and CS in the launcher every time is start the game?). The games takes me to the main menu, I select Single Player, Civil War Campaign, then I choose CS, short campaign etc., I do all the things I've done yesterday. During the loading screen of the campaign, I get a CTD (Empire stopped working). If I remember correctly the loading bar doesn't even gets filled halfway. The game goes to campaign loading screen, 2 or 3 seconds later CTD.

Did the 3 test campaigns you started successfully were also Warpath? In other words do you have Warpath installed? If yes do you meet the same problem trying as RTI3 CS?

You have always to start the campaign and the faction either you want to play, or you had played when you saved a game and you want to continue.

**KamilW** · May 24, 2012, 10:55 AM

Thank you for answering so quickly

. Yes, all three test campaigns were played on Warpath. And yes

, I'm 10000% sure

Warpath is installed. The three campaigns on Warpath worked. Only thing I noticed, don't know if it matters... Probably not... Is that the first campaign for example was nothing like the second one in the beginning. You got all these history notifications popping up after the end of a turn and also generals reporting for duty. Well, in the first campaign the Union declared war on me very soon, even before I got the notification of Fort Sumter being bombarded

. In the second campaign or third that was ok. There were other things too.

And yes, the game crashes too when I try to load a campaign in RTI3. It crashes on the same moment as when I try Warpath.

I'll never understand technology. One day all is working properly, the next day... Well...

. And it's even more frustrating when you know you didn't do a thing, you didn't change anything. So why the sudden fail??

Hi am confused here are you saying that in order to play this mod we need to have warpath installed.. as i do not? also when i launch the exe i have placed all the correct logs in the user-script and they show up fine... but on the campaign tab the choice is of only RTI and warpath..question is how do i get it to start with ctd at the screen? or do i need Warpath, if yes then i will ditch the mod as i do not have this add-on.

I've already answered in the other post of yours.

I do not understand why you select Warpath if you do not.. have Warpath? And after you do that, are you surprised with the CTD???

Yes, could be of course. But not this time. I didn't do anything. Really! By the way, I don't understand something. After each game, when I quit to the desktop (and the launcher is still there of course), a message pops up that asks me whether to "make ACW ready" or "restore vanilla". Is it suppose to pop up every time?? I've clicked always on "make ACW ready" so far.

And if you can't help me, who can?

EDIT: Just started it up again after a few hours. My pc was on the whole time, didn't switch it off. Guess what! It's working! How the hell is this possible. And I swear, I didn't do anything. Technology...

Thanks for the help anyway! I appreciate how you guys are so quick and always eager to help others. Great mod by the way! Been waiting a long long time to play this. Now, thanks to the ACW team, many players can enjoy this great work. Cheers! +rep

Hmm, well if it comes down to a hard choice of either/or and not both then I guess I will have to stick with DMUC. I play it a lot and it really saved me from throwing Empire into the garbage a long time ago. I just thought ACW would be a good diversion for something different on occasion and 2.6 worked just fine switching back and forth but I guess it isn't to be with 3.0+. I really did enjoy the little I did get to play with 3.0 and 3.1. You guys really have done an amazing job, I am saddened I will not be able to experience it any further.

Do that as long as you will play ACW next time as well. If not, or you going to update ACW, select Vanilla Ready. You can tick the box in the lower left corner if you do not want to see it all the time and re-enable from menu whenever you need it again to change option.

And if you can't help me, who can?

Lord will!!

**lukeskywalker678** · May 24, 2012, 07:05 PM

Husser I'm showing the log to prove that something is up I turn Steam on first then start ACW If it doen't work I open the log to see that it says steam is off I had this same problem in 3.1

**husserlTW** · May 25, 2012, 05:47 AM

The Steam issue is weird...

Launcher just checks if Steam.exe is in use or not. If you see the other logs it always work. Perhaps in your case some security option prevent this check.

You are not telling what the problem is... Since it is a new version, please repeat it even if it is the same with the previous.

**redsteahl** · May 25, 2012, 10:56 AM

ALL ACW 3.0 and 3.2 do is crash on my Windows 7 Home Edition and steam account. I have tried for days to get them to work to no avail. I GIVE UP. I will keep checking this page to see if anyone comes up with a solution to the STEAM -- WIndows 7 Home Edition crashing of ACW Brother vs Brother................good luck fellows ---------- meanwhile I am just going to be content playing EMPIRE TOTAL WAR and NAPOLEON TOTAL WAR (in their vanilla form) as they are great games without any MODS Thanks for listening fellows Goodbye

**lukeskywalker678** · May 25, 2012, 06:12 PM

I dont understand what you mean by please repeat it.

**redsteahl** · May 26, 2012, 07:15 AM

Here is my LOG. I read I was supposed to include it. All I know is I have been trying to get ACW 3.2 Brothers vs Brothers working for 2 days with no success. It starts up and goes to an opening scene with a picture of a guy on a horse then it comes up with a window that says "This program is no longer working and windows is checking for a solution" windows does not find any solution and it freezes right there....I am really a greaat lover of Civil Waar history and I am really dissappointed I can not get this MOD to work on my computer. I have seen videos of this MOD on Utube and they are excellent!

* 14:51:47 -> mod "mod "bg_art.pack";.pack";
* 14:51:47 -> mod "mod "bg_core.pack";.pack";
* 14:51:47 -> mod "mod "bg_db.pack";.pack";
* 14:51:47 -> mod "mod "bg_models.pack";.pack";

Your user script is in real mess. When you use the script editor, add only the name of the pack and it will add the rest (mod " .pack"). But if you add the full line it will make something like: mod "mod "bg_core.pack";.pack"; Use script editor to remove them. Do not add commands related with the ACW, they are added automatically just before the the game is launched. Use script editor only to add commands of a mod that you want combined with the ACW.

Perhaps this will not solve your CTD problem (Is suspect you did that in an attempt to find a solution in the problem that was already there) but you have to correct that in any case.
