RA1024 Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 I think a lot of problems with Emp related back to video drivers and such. I'd check and make sure you have the latest drivers for your card. When you played Emp before on that pc, did you have a different video card?I know when I used to have an older vid card, Emp would take over an hour to install. I don't know why but it seemed that the video card or driver really slowed down the install process. If you have another 3d card, I'd try swapping it and see if that makes a different.

RA1024 Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 What your're saying is making sense and I've given you a few things to try. If you don't want to try them, that's up to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erjin999 Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 So you cannot install it ? Try the Install patch, that requires using most (all?) of the files from the HD, removing any issues you might be having with the CDs. See how that goes.

erjin999 Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Does it get oast the point where it asks you where you want to install your game, and what options ?I am asking as I want to rule out any issues you might have with the location you are installing it to, maybe out of space ? Maybe file access permissions... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erjin999 Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Does your CD have any scratches ? There are utilities to check for damage. Try copying the whole CD to hard drive. See if you can install it from there. Probably not a graphics issue. Sounds like something else. I'll see if I can get my install CD and see how it installs, maybe I can see what its supposed to be doing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noob005 Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 put all your cd files into a folder and put the file in this link ftp://ftp.westwood.com/pub/emperor/update/EMPENGINSTFIX10.ZIP into tha tfolder if it asks to overwrite click yes.

erjin999 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 You mean a DVD Drive ? That should work fine.If your computers are networked then you should be able to share the CD/DVD drive from that computer and install it over the network, if the computer has a problem installing from the drives in the computer.
