ebfd shuts down

[Big D]

when I start any campaign, the game loads and when it should begin it shuts down ( >:()

I have updated the game but it did not help.

also IF I get the game to work it may decide to shut down while I'm playing (typically when I am about to crush the enemy)

why does this happen, it really ticks me off >:(

Ehm. what are your system specs? Perhaps you do not have enough free memory? check if there's at least enough memory free on your harddisk.

[Big D]

rrrrrrrrrrroooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :O

teh g*d d@mmed game keeps shutting down. I'm going berserk :O >:( >:(

[Terror]

what are you saying? It was fixed and fucked up again? Or it wasn't totally fixed at all? Do you still have NAV?

[Big D]

I think there's another problem too. but I don't know what.

I had someone over here to check it out, but he also did'nt know what the problem is.

when I load games or start games even when I reset my rules.txt, the friggin' game won't run :'(

Can you still get passed the intro screens, or doesn't it even display that ?

[Big D]

yes those stupid intro screens ea games and westwood (hate those, I wish I could remove them)still pass even the menu screen, but as soon as I start a new campaign, load a game or start a skirmish battlem the game boots back to the desktop. I don't know if the amount of units in the savegames has an effect on my memory or sumptin (has loads of units).

but WHEN I get to play a skirmish battle, it also boots back. maybe because of to much units??

Reinstall the game.

If that still doesn't work, take all the files from the install disc, then replace the files on their with the ones in the emp install fix. Then install from the files on your hard drive.

[Big D]

been there done that :(

[Apollyon]

Try the second thing I mentioned, replacing the setup.exe with the new one.

[Big D]

as I said, been there done that -__-'

hmzl. . bad memory .. grafics drivers or still that buggy Norton. . . where would you like to stsrt ?

Check your directx file for any graifcs cards failures or directx errors. Make shure you have the latest version of your graifcs drivers .. and mayby de-instrall Emperor and Norton . . then install Emperor again. . .
