Crashing since ETW update

[Geronimo2006]

Has anyone else noticed that since today's ETW update, the game is crashing all the time on startup? I have already verified integrity of game cache. Can someone provide a solution please? This is getting ridiculous.

the probability is that the mod manager has some bugs in it

I'm not even running Modmanager when this happens.

I'm sorry what are you using then? plain old vanilla? nothing left of any mods, specially in the script folder?

It CTDs whether I use modmanager or not. I have already deleted fx_cache and verified integrity of cache. It began after the latest patch. Another fine mess.

Since it's today's update, them you will probably have to wait for some mods be made compatible.

I'm of steam so I can't help you more than the plain old take a look at what is different from the vanilla

Yeah I have the same problem...The update came today...and wham...nothing works...up through last night 2/7/10...I had Darth Mod installd with ETW...no issues...the updates were installed this morning at work, and now it crashes the same way as Geronimo 2006.

Just to check this wasn't my DarthMod...I deleted everything (including Steam) and re-installed...same problem.

See this is the "F"ing problem with this Steam Client and updates...because the game MUST work off the client, and mistakes by Valve..results in the game being rendered usless...at least when the games ran off the CD-ROM any mistakes or problem can be fixed on the USER end.

When I use DMUC the crashing seems less likely to happen compared to Modmanager.

I am not sure what u mean between the two different Modmanagers...bottom line...I now have the plain old Vanilla version installed again, and this game won't load. I wrote STEAM (Valve) about what had happened..lets see what they come up with.

I just updated and I can play beautifully.

I did have to change servers to do it, though.

Yep, removed darthmod from the scripts folder and it plays fine. Add it, CTD at startup. Any idea if darthmod is being updated?

[ajtboy]

OK...I don't have the Darthmod installed anymore...that got removed when I started from scratch, and deleted both Steam and ETW...So I have Vanilla version again.

Irishron...u mentioned changing servers...where/how...and why would that work?...I'm willing to give it a shot.

[irishron]

Ask Darth. That's his baby.

How do I do that exactly?

How do I do that exactly?

It only works if you own an HP machine.

Tried that but the CTDs continued. The CTDs have now stopped since I deleted all the user scripts, the fx_cache, and every single mod. Patch 4 seems to be clashing with every single mod going.

That solves that problem Now I'll ignore the silly thing until the mods are up and working. I can't stand vanilla ETW.

So I took a screencapture of all these crash dumps in the Steam Apps - ETW folder...I get 1 for each of the times I have tried to load this game yesterday and this morning (not to mention the ones that were erased when I did a re-install).

I am a little slow with the lingo...what is CTW?...and how do i make sure my scripts are all ok?

Please help!!!
