Having Trouble with 6.4

[kevindrosario]

So I've had 6.4 for a while and this morning I decided that I wanted to switch from Late Era to Early Era and also add in longer assimilation, which I had disabled when I first installed the game. But when I finished running the setup, SS would no longer launch. CTD and there was some error about a missing model or something like that. I decided that I didn't want to deal with trying to repair my install and I would instead just completely wipe SS and reinstall.

So I uninstalled SS and I noticed the SS6.3 folder was still there along with some files inside. So I just deleted the whole SS6.3 folder. Then I installed 6.3, patched up to 6.4, and I was still getting a CTD. I realized at that point that I had forgotten to run the setup as administrator and so I thought that could be the problem. I then uninstalled SS again, deleted the SS6.3 folder, and ran both the 6.3 installation and 6.4 patch as administrator. I also ran the SS launcher as administrator. I'm still getting a CTD.

The game auto-launches after installing 6.3 and it works fine. But after patching up to 6.4 is when I get CTDs when I launch. The error log is completely empty as well and I never had this problem before, so I'm just completely stumped.

Edit: I should also add that I fixed my UAC problem when I installed SS the first time. I just double checked my VirtualStore just to be sure and no SS files are there.

I'll go ahead and answer the questions from one of the sticky topics as well.

- What is your operation system? (WinXP, Vista, Windows 7) If using Vista or 7, did you deactive the User Account Control while installing?

Windows 7 and yes, I disabled UAC.

- What version of Kingdoms do you have? (1.4, 1.5)

1.5

- What submods have you installed with said version (if any)?

None. Only my own modifications. But as I said, I completely wiped the entire folder before reinstalling. I also didn't make any changes after reinstalling.

if 6.3 worked...but 6.4 doesn't probably just redownload 6.4.
