The luancher client works, but it won't start an actual game. When I try to start one, the launcher just minimizes for a second, then pops back up at the setup screen without starting the game.

That's a common problem that pops up from time to time. Restart your computer. That should fix it.

I have every file in check, but for whatever reason, pressing escape key, which supposedly shows the pause menu, does not show the menu and just freezes my screen instead.

By the way, my friend who plays mental omega, says he can't build an airbase

That's again an animation that has no type. From just the debug.log I cannot tell more. If the source of this error is not known to the MO guys, I would need the crash dump for this.

So go ahead and upload the crash dump then?

I'm not sure. Maybe the reason is known already, then it wouldn't be needed. If it's not known what causes this, then yes, it would help me to find out. But if i can get around analyzing this, I'll try to do so. :p

When I click the "Map Editor" option an error message that says "The program can't start because MSVCR110.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." pops up.

Then I click "OK" on the error message which closes it but then it immediately pops back up again so I click "OK" on it again and this happens about 18 times.

After it finally goes away the map editor loads up, strangely enough, however it's missing a lot of placeables and stuff so it's still unusable.

 

Does this happen to others or am I the first case of this?

I got the same problem. I've tried run as admin, clean reinstall, install the .dll manually, repair visual C++ 2012 both x86 and x64 but still no luck with the map editor. It worked properly before I reset my laptop to factory settings. Any suggestion?

Try installing Visual C++ 2011. The new versions of Visual C++ doesn't contain the older version's files.

edit:

i have made some scripts to automate playing on linux, tested on manjaro 17.1 x64 , wine 3.12, mono 5.12

install wine and mono (your linux mono, not wine-mono)

 

create wineprefix, copy all files (game + mod + this) in a directory mo in drive_c (it has to be named mo)

run ./conf-mo.sh and play from the mo shortcut on your desktop

 

this removes the need for you to mess with other files and directories

thanks to @ghost for the idea

Have you tried playing skirmish on your own?

Maybe try reinstalling MO, could be some faulty installation going on

Did you download any ini files or other MO stuff from other places other than the MO site?

I can't seem to play multiplayer for some reason, as it says my game files are different from everyone else. I recently downloaded the game from origin, and the only differing file that I know of is the DDraw patch to fix the black screen in the vanilla game. Once I click launch with someone else ready, the game just crashes and an error pops up. I don't remember what it said and it's hard to test it since nobody wants to help

 

Same problem as stickpge I think, and deleting the dll breaks mental omega on startup

DDrawCompat is already included in 3.3.3 version. You don't need to download an additional one because it already fixes black screen error in Windows 8/10

I think I know the problem, but I'm not completely sure if that's what's causing the error. My gamemd is patched to 1.0.1.1, but I can't seem to be able to downgrade it to 1.001 since the patch exe I downloaded isn't working
