Dax_Corrin Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Hi, I am another die-hard fan of EBFD. I have Windows 7 home premium 64 bit and other than the occasional game crash, the game ran fine 99% of the time. One day, I decided to play and inserted the disk and clicked play on the auto-run screen as usual, but the game did not launch, and has never launched since. I've tried reinstalling using the hints on the forums, and while I can reinstall it, it still won't launch. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athanasios Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Any interferance from your antivirus? So temporary disable it and see what happens. Also try running in a virtual machine. In both cases run both from CD and from ISO files (virtual CD). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dax_Corrin Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 I reinstalled using the patch, and now I get a Game failed to launch error. The specific error is 0xc0000005 in GAME.exe. I have used the patch to install it and copied the game file specified to the emperor folder. Before I copied the file, I tried running it and it would not launch just like before. Error occurred after copying the file over and trying to launch again. I also placed Avast into silent/gaming mode still would not launch the game.

Dax_Corrin Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 I performed a clean install of Windows 10 on one of my PCs running WIN 7. After downloading the install fix and then copying the replacement Emperor.exe as suggested in the fix, it now works. It's version 1.04, will the update to 1.09 mess up anything? I wonder, and I will report my findings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dax_Corrin Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 And now it works. The only thing I did was manually redirect it to install in the Program files (X86)\Westwood\ folder instead of C:\Westwood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
