Game Won't Even Start

**Hannibal420** · January 03, 2013, 01:39 PM

So I've tried just about everything to get this mod to work, and the end result is this. I can't even configure my campaign. I tried the installer patch thing, and it still does this. I'm trying to figure out where I went wrong here but I am at a complete loss. If any of the creators of this mod had 5 minutes to spare on a teamspeak, or could try typing me some suggestions to get this thing going, I would greatly appreciate it. I love this mod guys, I just wish I could find a way to get it to work for me again lol.

Hannibal420,

R U using XP or Win7?
R U Using Steam?
If using WIN7 have you disabled the UAC?
Have you tried selecting SS Set Up, Right Click and Run as Admin?

Using Windows 7, I've already disabled UAC AND I even have my med 2 installed on desktop instead of program files
I tried that, and no dice. I got the exact same thing.

How about Steam?

**Hannibal420** · January 03, 2013, 02:53 PM

I do have Steam, but my med 2 isn't through steam. Nor is my Kingdoms. All straight from the box.

**Hannibal420** · January 03, 2013, 03:42 PM

Does anyone have any suggestions? I really really want to get this mod going.

Please can you explain what you have installed, particularly the order, starting from the Kingdoms 1.5 patch

**Hannibal420** · January 03, 2013, 04:10 PM

I installed Med 2, than patches 1.2 and 1.3. I then installed Kingdoms, followed by patch 1.5, then I installed Broken Crescent. I then downloaded the five parts of Stainless Steel, and the exe. I put the files in a folder together, and ran the exe. It kept asking me to put in disk 1. I tried using kingdoms disk one, then directing it to a bunch of files, disks, etc. nothing worked. I then downloaded the patched installer, 2.5 I think it was? It installed the game, but every time I try to play it I get, well, the screen capture I posted earlier.

I want you to re-install SS via the Exe, right click, Run as Admin, then go the SS Set Up, Right Click, Run as Admin

**Hannibal420** · January 03, 2013, 04:53 PM

I can't. I'm trying to reinstall as youve asked, but it keeps asking for disk 1 now. I tried to run SS Set up and right click as admin, didnt work.

**Hannibal420** · January 03, 2013, 04:54 PM

I deleted all my files, as to try and start from scratch. Now it won't install with the exe. Should I try reinstalling with the patched installer?

I got 6.3 to work, thanks for your help, much appreciated.

disk one is ss_blah blah bin1, disk 2 is ss_blah blah bin 2 etc etc, you need those in the same folder as the ss6.3.exe for the file to install.

Also, don't install to your desktop...that will slow the game down ALOT, instead install to like C://games or somewhere else you make up.

if you need more help or help installing ss6.4 just send me a pm.
