Strange Bug (should be a rather quick question: answer issue)

**nekulor** · January 29, 2008, 08:33 PM

So, when I load the game, version 1.5, with BI installed, I can make it to the nation selection screen for the EB campaign. After I select a nation, immediate CTD on EB 1.0. I am assuming this is either a) I'm not actually patched to the right version (crash on call of some sort of null entry leading to a nullPointerException) or I didn't install it right (It is installed in my R:TW folder and can access the exe readily).

Any ideas?

Hardware wise, I should be fine. I can run crysis at 50 + FPS (on a good day).

Check the Install Validation Tool stickied thread in the bug report subforum.

Ah, thank you marcusaureliusantonius. I'm validating as we speak. I assume that if it is not valid, I follow the list of things in the sticky until I either fix the issue or run out of options?

By the way, no issues with 8800 beta drivers as far as you know, right?

Code:

You seem to have a corrupt install. There are changes to files, or some are missing.
However, these may be conscious changes you have made, to remod EB. See below for details.

Plus a crapload of added files, most with the "BI" extension or designation. Methinks something didn't install correctly. It looks as if I'm unpatched.
