Hmm, managed to get vanilla Empire working again with another clean install, but now after reinstalling TAR neither vanilla or the mod are working again.
Hello all,
I am new here and new to ETW. I have had it since it was released but didn't play it until I found TAR and can't stop playing.
First impression is fantastic, easy to install for a newbie, seems stable so far as I have been playing all night and will be laying siege to Boston tomorrow
God Save the King!
been playing the last few days no problems, 1700 campaign as france, was definitely worth the wait!

Is anyone else getting a lot of CTD's while on the campaign map? I've been having a lot of them... not sure what's going on here.
I'm suffering from similar problems to Monty.
I did a completely fresh install of Empire (using the CD's, I have also tried it with downloading through steam) and I can't launch a campaign nor can I start a battle.
It will load the loading screen, the music will skip, and then crash to desktop telling me simply that 'Empire has stopped working'.
After installing TAR, Vanilla Empire and Napoleon both do exactly the same thing.... Why is NTW affected? How can that be when it's completely detached from ETW? When I uninstall TAR and reboot the system, NTW works.

Hi Toon Been looking forward to this but alas I too am Having the same problem as above, Even my napoleon stopped working also. Anychance someone can uninstall their TAR and see if they can still launch Vanilla NAP and Empire. I am Unable to start a campaign or a quick battle and unistalling TAR rendered NAP and Empire unplayable, both neede to be uninstalled and reinstalled again

"Yeah tho I walk through the valley of the shadow of death; I shall fear no evil... for I'm the meanest sonofa in the valley."
having a problem here MorganH, everything installs fine, and i play the campaigns for a few times, but after a few plays, when i start up the launcher, the black codec screen comes up and says- Warning TAR pack files are missing from the EYW/data folder,TAR will not work at this time, and i looked and a few files were missing because i checked the folder when the game was running fine. I've done nothing to the game to make me lose those files, and have to reinstall everytime this happens. It also says check TAR installation please your help is most needed
We are working on a new beta/hotfix that will hopefully solve all these issues asap
For now,when (re)installing TAR ,do not use the DFM and Patriot addons,and only use the Renders when you have a high end vid card !
Also when in the launcher do not alter
1. Battlefield Borders
2. Green/Blue Movement Arrows
3. Campaign Markers
Thank you !
Good to hear a fix is on the way. Playing around with it last night; none of the diagnostics worked - the reset scripts button merely produced the same pop up box. Full verify integrity of game cache made no difference. Strangely TAR has completely wrecked DMUC. But after uninstall APETI was fine as was Vanilla. NTW was not affected - at least no probs with my NOW campaign (but only after a NTW VIGC).

Indeed,TAR 2.0 will have to be installed in a Clean version of Empire TW !
No disrespect intended but when can we expect to see this hotfix? Like to give the game a good go before work overwhelms me.
