Crash to Desktop Upon Killing Another Faction

**Cheezy the Wiz** · November 02, 2011, 11:38 PM

I am using SS 6.3 and it happens every time, no matter what faction I'm playing as or what faction I kill. I did some searching online and found a few instances where people reported problems with specific factions, but nothing so comprehensive as my problem. Can someone please help me?

Thanks!

Upgrade to SS6.4. Disable UAC and run as full administrator if running Vista or WIn7

Okay I have done all of that.

Now, when I try to launch 6.4, it loads the picture with the knight holding the sword, and then creates an error message that is simply an exclamation mark inside a yellow triangle. There is no message, no explanation at all! Then it shuts the program down.

Did you run SS_Setup?

Yes. It freaks out when I try to okay stuff, says a Data file for watchtowers doesn't exist.

EDIT: What it says is:

Error while processing Watchtowers.txt

File does not exist: data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign\descr_strat.txt

Except is that this file does exist. I found it. When I try to run the setup stuff, it tells me this when I try to finalize, and if I then go back and try to redo it, all the options are unchecked.

Also, I get a whole host of "file does not exist" and "failure to create temporary file" when I run the language translation part.

Make sure you run it with full administrator rights.

Okay I have done that. But now there are new problems.

First, the Translation part of the Setup is freaking out, saying that a bunch of .txt files don't exist. "Error While Processing English (Default) Translation: File does not exist: battle.txt" and it lists a host of others, about a dozen or so.

Second, the game still crashes when I try to open it, it just no longer says that thing about the watchtowers file. Now it just says nothing, it just CTD's.

are you right clicking the .exe files (ss6.3, ss6.4, and ss_setup) and selecting from the alt drop down menu 'run as admin'. Cause it sounds like files aren't getting copied over right which this usually fixes.

While going back to try a fresh install using "Run as Admin" I think I discovered my problem. I didn't download all the bin crap that goes with 6.3, just the 3MB installer. Problem is, all the links to those things in the Release thread are bad, so I can't go back and get them...
