**Praetorian1** · June 01, 2011, 03:58 PM

Hi, after playing early era campaigns on 6.3 for months i decided to try the late era. I clicked the set up, clicked on late era , chose savage ai like i before but when i clicked to start the teutonic campaign it just brought me back to the main menu

again i tried to start another camnpaign this time Byzantium but it did just like before, back to main menu

any ideas why this is happening???

First of we have a tech support forum just for this kind of posts.
Secondly you need to supply more info... as requested by the stickies in the tech support forums.
I'm going out on a limb here and just diagnose you anyways:
Severe case of UAC not turned off and not running ss_setup.exe as Administrator.

Let us know if that was the case, your topic will be moved soon.

oops!

sry for not posting here ... I'm still new in this forum.

i did run it up from the ss set up in the start menu as it said in the FAQ thread, it gave me the options to choose between early or late campaign & i chose late, just as i chose early when i started it, then i chose savage ai like before aswell, but when i tried to start the teutonic campaign it just brought me back to main menu as soon as i clicked to start the campaign. I tried again on Byzantine campaign but just the same. But i don't know What is UAC??
I'v been playing SS6.3 for months now, i remember downloading & making the flag fix at the beginning cos flags were messed up, i downloaded & made the Koj SS6.3 early, the SS compilation, i edited a few custom portraits myself & never had any problems untill now. I run it on windows xp pro, my specs are dell desktop, Dual core CPU E4500 @ 2.20Ghz, 3.25g ram, Nvidia Geforce 9800GT 1024mb.

xp=no UAC, but i would do ss_setup late, do ss_setup early....then do ss_setup late, and see if that fixes sometimes it struggles to overwrite the files in 6.3 for some reason...or at least mine did. Let me know.

I tried doing that just now after i read your comment, i tried the ss_set up late era, early era & again late era but no luck

just the same, when i click to start campaign it immediatly brings me back to the main menu

If there is no specifc reason against it I suggest patching to 6.4

I actually have the same problem, I patched to 6.4 and when I start on the late era campaign it takes me back to the starting screen. One weird thing is that the background wall paper flashes between SS 6.4 to 6.3 everynow and then. It looks like a graphical glitch but not sure if it's related to the game. Also when I run SS setup, it gives an error msg "Error while trying to create a temporary file, Operation Aborted"
