Hi

I've downloaded the mod and I followed the installations instructions but it doesn’t work. The game crashes when starting the mod.

(I could play beta 4 without any problems)

Any ideas what is wrong?


Thanks.

I got the same problem on two different computers. They have totally different hardware. I am just downloading the mod again, it may have gotten corrupted or something.

It’s a waist of time, I've tried it and it doesn’t work.


So, have I to reinstall the game using English as language?

As in the past, there is nothing wrong with the folder. It works for almost everyone. So in all probability you have simply done a small mistake while installing the mod. Hopefully clonecommand can help you through this in a little bit. Like with any kind of modding-problems/questions/crashs, it is really hard to help out, unless you provide some details (the more the better) on how exactly you installed the downloaded files. Just saying that you did as described doesn't help at all, since obviously that is where it went wrong!? :xcahik_:


Edit: Once again, just calling 'help' as hard, as loud and as often as possible doesn't help. I deleted two duplicate threads with no additional info whatsoever, so don't wonder. The information needed goes along this line: Are you using VISTA? What is the exact name of the folder you put the SEE-folder in. Is the SEE.big still in there or not. What are the contents of the two editable lines of your shortcut (right-click on the shortcut and go to details for that info). Did you edit your shortcuts at all? Do you have any mod files in your game-folder?

Ok ppl... not that I usually take time for Support... but just to give some order to the situation...

1) Lets use LOGIC!
- If OTHER ppl can both download & use the mod, do you think that the mod itself is corrupt, or that your system is corrupt? :xcahik_:

2) Nowhere does it say that this mod will work regardless of installation!
- It MIGHT not work with other versions that English, but of this I'm not sure though.

3) Make sure you're not trying to run the Campaign with SEE. It will (should) start, but we can't guarantee that it will function all the way.
- This is a SKIRMISH mod, and Campaign won't be worked on more extensivly until Beta V :xcahik_:

Now, in order to leave full bug reports, you need to specify WHEN and WHERE the error occurrs.

> I do know for sure that with a normal installation of BFME2 retail version and NOT pirate copy, and with the game patched to the latest EA patch - it WILL work. I have it running as we speak.
> If you can't get it to function, you need to check that:

1 - you have an ORIGINAL copy of the game
2 - you have patched the game with EA's latest Patch (1.06)
3 - you read the Installation Instructions
4 - you are installing the Mod Folder in the correct folder by following the Instructions ^
5 - you are adjusting the shortcut to YOUR path and making sure it does no longer (as in Beta IV) use the ".big"


:xcahik_:

Is your game an original copy?
Is it patched to 1.06?

Hi all,

I have the same aforementioned problem. Original copy patched to 1.06 too. When the "game.dat" error window pops up, it basically tells me that the mod is not recognized. I get something ike this:
ModName: unknown
ModVer:0.0.0.0

If this can be of any help, I hope it can be solved :xcahik_:

(And to the team: great job anyway!)

Hold your horses buddy. If you give up so easily, you have no business sitting at a computer. They only do what you tell them to do. All you really need to do is find out what exactly you are telling the machine, so you can find out which are the bits it can't digest. And lack of patience is definitely not helping out.

Best you wait up for clonecommand. He has shown definitely more initiative in trying pry the important bits of information out of troubled users so they could fix their problems.

Sorry for that duplicates this a big mestake and i would delete them my self if i could.But the problem is the same. well i see strange thing... When i paste the SEE folder into desktop and start the mod the game is running but not with this mod but the first screen with EA mark is not the same as the original game maybe thi i a part of a mod... maybe this could mean something I don't know. :xcahik_:
