    Default SS 6.4 wont launch

    Well I have tried turning UAC off, reinstalling med2 in different directory and still I can only get to the initial stainless steel 6.4 screen before it CTDs. I really want to try this mod so all help is welcome. Also I don't know if this helps but here SS 6.4 Log

    Same boat.

    After installing the Sub-Mod Compilation the error was fixed; but a new one replaced it.

    I noticed descr_projectiles wasn't around - so i filled in the gap with one from a sub-mod (http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=391576).

    Error was fixed, but new one appeared...

    Code:

    May all be related to the fact that when clicking on English (or German) in the language area of the setup i have a lot of errors related to missing files.

    Helps to install 6.3 first

    Default Re: SS 6.4 wont launch

    I did install 6.3 first I have read through many posts and tried a lot of the suggestions. I even tried just using 6.3 and it still gave me the same problem.

    Same thing here. I installed 6.3, and the game worked fine. Patched to 6.4, and I just get the knight splash screen and then CTD.

    Beast G33 & Michaelangelo,

    If you are both using Vista/WIN7, please disable your UAC.

    Please install 6.3/6.4 outside of program files, create a folder call it whatever you choose, then install to this folder. The only requirement is that MTW2 & SS are in the same HD

    I finally got 6.4 to work when I updated the permissions of the Medieval 2 folder, but I did not disable UAC entirely. Also the permissions were not updated when I originally installed SS 6.3. Perhaps I should reinstall everything to a new folder as suggested w/ UAC off? And then just move my save file (though where that is, someone will have to help me) into the new folder and all should be good?

    Beast G33,

    That sounds good to me, do not delete SS from present position, drop a line here when done and give you directions to find your save.

    Disabled UAC, did everything fresh, moved my save over, and still crashed, I'm afraid.

    eidus,

    On my WIN7, click Start, then just above is a Search box, type in User Access Control, then click on selection and you be there.

    Have you made any changes since your last campaign?

    Please click on Set Up, after you disabled UAC

    I tried installing on my second hard drive that didn't work for me either. I tried disabling UAC after installation. Would it make a difference to disable while I installed or no?

    I have the same problem. i also have meneths compilation
    What makes a real American? A cowboy hat? Enjoying a fine T-bone
    steak? Going to a baseball game? Shooting a gun? Maybe it’s the freedom to go
    into a poor country and tell them how to do things?! Heh! Those are all great
    qualities! But one thing that makes a true patriot is the ability to choose
    an American car! When you buy an import you take a hot meal off a hard
    working American’s table. There, there! This poor girl is going
    to starve to death, just because you bought a cheaper, more efficient
    Maibazu. Without gross symbols of excess, what will Americans have to look up
    to? Our great industries is a threaten! Cars, pornography, armaments! And
    they need your help! So the next time you buy a car, a piece of adult
    literature or a missile defense system! Make sure you do the American thing!

    BeastG33,

    I want you to remove 6.3/6.4 from your PC, then defrag, clean up and registry clean.

    Then I want you to install 6.3, fire it up and report back.

    DO NOT INSTALL 6.4 AT THIS POINT.
