Hey guys, hadn't played Empire in a while and just started to really feel like playing again.
I've had Darthmod installed on my PC for a long time and never had any problems with it, until now.
It has started doing the following upon opening the DME launcher:
Upon clicking "Start", it displays the following error boxes, one after another:
"Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Empire Total War\data\DME\Packs\aum_on'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."
"Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Empire Total War\data\DME\Packs\msc_on'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."
"Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Empire Total War\data\DME\Packs\nvy_on'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."
"Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Empire Total War\data\DME\Packs\snd_on'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."
"Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Empire Total War\data\DME\Packs\unt_on'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."
"Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Empire Total War\data\DME\Packs\skn_on'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."
So I checked that path, and sure enough, in the listed folder under "Packs" the above do not exist.
There is a windows batch file called "cst_on" and it's the only thing in the folder with the same naming convention as the above. The rest are .pack files that all start with DME_
The reason this is so strange is that it's not a fresh install or anything. It's been sat there on my PC for years, never being a problem, and then suddenly it has..... deleted its own files somehow???
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jim
