I reinstall ETW after deleting all the files but even after checking zone of recruitement id does not work with warpath it shows

Error: error bad argument #1 to 'pairs' (table expected, got string)
Stack Traceback:
1: [Page1 -> Button2 -> On Click] Line 275 in main chuck

But if I lauch with RTI 3 it works but it crashes very often (sorry but I can not do sreenshots with my PC so I wrote what I see ^^)

You might need to uninstall everything again then go to where ETW is on your computer IE: SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\ETW and delete anything that's been left over (sometime there will be mod files and folders left behind) then go to where the The creative Assembly folder is and delete that it, should be in your "Roaming" folder or somewhere roughly here: C:\user\yourname\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly and then and only then try all over again

Well that's weird, A total uninstall and a clean out the left over files and folders should at the very least allow you once reinstalled to at least play vanilla

Please don't take this the wrong way but it's not a bootleg copy is it?

Once you've reinstalled vanilla have you verified the files through steam?

Failing all of the above, the only other thing I can think of is there many be some kind of hook in the registry which again would be strange but...
next step would logically be to clean your registry but If you do be very very careful which program you use to do that as some will crap your registry completely and your computer wont work I use Auslogics BoostSpeed 9 but that's a pay one, CCleaner has a not to bad reg cleaner but can miss alot but it is free so...
