o/ Friends. I decided to try and boot up the old Empires to go kill some tanks as a rifleman with my stickies, but to my shock and horror I got a crash to desktop (CTD) every time I tried to launch. Sometimes I'd get to see the menu buttons but not often. Things I've done so far: Launch options: -safe -autoconfig -dxlevel90 -novid Deleted old empires installs (Goodbye 2.12, I will miss you. ) Redownloaded. Deleted client.blob restarted Anyone help me out?
You're installing from steam, right? This is not an error that I'm familiar with. The game is relatively stable right now.
In your root Steam folder, there should be a folder called dumps. Pass me anything recent there and I'll take a look at it.
Yes, from steam. Here's a grab of my recent dumps. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/14490300/Dumps.zip I tried poking empty on steam, but he didn't respond.
I can't see the actual code, but the stacktrace points to a failure in xfire_toucan_46139.dll, so I'd give disabling Xfire a shot and trying again.
