You don't say, I would have never guessed. Gee I wonder what was going through my mindset at the time.
I can do an announcement. You can also ask JustGoFly, AZK, or Vicki too. I would probably show up, but at the moment i'm getting the same startup_loading.vtf error as a lot of other community members.
http://forums.empiresmod.com/showthread.php?t=17845&highlight=startup_loading.vtf This worked for some people regarding startup_loading.vtf file. Might work for you. I will say I don't have that file in my empires directory, but the game still runs. It does sound familiar, like I had that problem, but I personally don't remember what I did to fix it. The last post sounds like the easiest, but I can't exactly test it, sorry. Hope you can join us though.
I am setting up the viper PUG server now. be up shortly. If you are going to seed do it in one of the pub servers
184.154.117.106:27108 [VIPER] PUG Server That is the pug server we will be playing on. Seed in Viper's pub server though.
so many fucking errors can't even launch the game... steam certificate length error 0/2048 and missing materials/sometexture.vtf preventing me from even seeing the splash screen.
