RTW.exe problem

[stupiddk]

Alright, I try and play NTW2 by clicking the .exe and it works, but after I exit the game and double click the .exe again I get this error:

AppName: rometw.exe AppVer: 1.0.0.0 ModName: ~df394b.tmp
ModVer: 0.0.0.0 Offset: 000c486b

It says this is the file that is affected.
C:\DOCUME~1\Titan\LOCALS~1\Temp\966b_appcompat.txt

If any1 can help, that would be great

you need to doubleclick the NTW2 shortcut to launch the mod (it's in the RTW root folder, or optionally on your desktop or start menu). Are you doing that?

[stupiddk]

yeah. And it still gives me the error. Even after a re-install of RTW and patches. I still have a problem.

Go to:
C:\DOCUME~1\Titan\LOCALS~1\Temp\

Find:
966b_appcompat.txt
>
Move or rename it, and see what happens

[stupiddk]

I can't, its a temp file created when I try and start NTW2.


EDIT: But, the game does work if I restart the computer, but it is a nuisance.

[Adherbal]

and can you delete it after exiting the game? does that help?

really wierd problem you got there, not really much I can think of to help you.
