    I had that problem with numerous mods. All i needed to do was make a shortcut to the game, and in properties (of the shortcut) i had to change to applaunch value from 220 to 215.

    Edit:
    I took a quick look, it is 215 by default for empires. I'm sure it's the same error message though.
    Probably a very stupid suggestion, but try to change it from 215 to 220 :D

    Hi Big K - Ive verified my source sdk and base files and both run ok, I have downloaded from both mirrors in case one version of 1.08 had a file missing.
    But still it says "couldnt load library client" but if I change gameinfo.txt from 215 to 220 then i get the other error.

    Try re-installing the source sdk base. Can you run any other mods that use "215" as their app id?

    I have taken everything else off my comp due to space probs, all the normal CS team-fortress Hl2dm etc work ok oh and pilotable strider works ok but thats all I have as I wanted the space for Empires1.08 oh an dawn of war plus all the expansion packs and my 40 gig H/D is Full.

    Actually ive got a spare 100gig i could use as a second drive and put DoW on that then i could put the other mods i had back on.

    My system isnt the best in the world, amd1200 256mb ram and 64mb geforceFx , my son wiped my other comp and I havent had time to reformat it due to packing. Does 1.08 use more Memory? is the HDR gonna need high end graphics cards?

    ok i tried sum stuff
    first i backed up the client and server dll's then tried copying all the client and server dll's from different games including hl2 - hl2 deathmatch - sdk base etc.

    the results
    the original 1.08 dll's give me the error "couldnt load library client" at start screen.
    hl2, hl2 deathmatch and sdk base dll's give the error "ongamesrulescreationstringchanged" and a memory ref error at startup.

    BUT

    If i use the client and server dll's from 1.07 and put em in 1.08 bin the game starts and even downloads the ain files but just as its nearly finishing sending the client info the game crashes showing error message "server uses different class tables"

    so close yet so far....... just as a matter of interest what is the size of your client dll, mine is 4,1271 , have i got the correct dll's??????????

    Do you have the client.dll and server.dll in the 1.08 "bin" folder? Just do a search for either of those files in the 1.08 directory. I was getting similiar errors when working with a different mod not long ago.

    yep i have the client and server dlls and i get all the errors gi jane does so im guessing he does too. this is getting really really gay that were not able to play 1.08... is there anything else we can do to fix this problem? do we not have good enough system specs or something ridiculous like that? ive never had this problem with any other mod and ive had alot of mods

    Try and delete the clientregistry.blob file in Steam/, then try again.

    Yep tried that............. No joy

    After the last problems with a steam update that stopped 1.07 working I have tried all the basic stuff and updated everything , reinstalled sdk base and tried both copies of 1.08.

    The error message "different class tables" appears to be concerned with an update but we are all running the same 1.08 files and all my progs are updated so I dont understand??????????

    "Different class tables" means that the server and you are running different versions of empires.
