Empire at War and Forces of Corruption / Empire at War FoC help
« on: June 05, 2017, 02:39:00 PM »
I need some help with my empire at war FoC game. I somehow broke FoC on my computer. I made a steam post about this issue and so far I have not been able to fix it. I wanted to ask the Thrawn's revenge community for help. I'll start off this thread with coping everything from my steam post to explain my issue.

Original post: "I have been playing the game for a while without any issues launching the game. I took about a two day break from the game and when I got back, force of corruptions will not load. I reinstalled the game which didn't help. What happens is after I select forces of corruption in the menu that pops up when launching the game, "running" appears next to the game title in my steam library and then syncing. Then syncing disappears and nothing happens after that. I can launch the game without FoC just fine in steam and using the .exe. Also, using the FoC .exe brings me to the base game without the expansion. I'm using no mods or any altering in the game files. I have restarted steam and my computer multiple times and I tried running steam as an admin."

"I made progress... I think. Now when I launch FoC, Eaw without the expansion launches. I have uninstalled the game many times and reinstalled and made sure that all game files where deleted."

"Also the program FoC is not listed under installed programs on the computer but Empire at War gold pack is."

I have been trying to use my EaW disk as well but it is not letting me install the game and the launcher says the game can be uninstalled. Trying to uninstall the game through the disk launcher did do anything so I deleted all of the files in the Lucusarts folder for empire at war and uninstall the program through the control panel. Currently, launching empire at war from steam brings me to empire at war without the expansion pack even when selecting the expansion pack. I know this isn't related to thrawns revenge but there isn't very many communities where empire at war is popular.

TFW you are playing 2.2 and create a fleet big enough to steam roll the galaxy in order to kill Wedge but you find out he is in a fighter

The Lounge / Empire at War play time

What is your play time on EAW? Mine currently is 125 hours but I'm taking a break. Only about 2 hours of that is without thrawn's revenge.

I have a crash that has happened often since I installed the mod. I am using Imperial Civil War 2.1 with the latest patch. Also, I am using the steam version of Empire at War.

There is an error message that pops up with the game closing. The header for the error message is "Exception!" with the text reading "An exception has occurred. See _logfile.txt and _except.txt for details. Press CANCEL to exit or RETRY to debug". Pressing retry brings up windows trouble shooting which concludes that "a problem caused the program to stop working correctly".

I tried to increase the ram cap of the game because I heard that Empire at War is stuck on 2gb of ram. However, the 4gb patch doesn't work for the steam version. Another solution I tried was running steam as an admin on my pc, however that didn't help because the game still crashed. I read on another forum that having the "override high DPI scaling" option selected in the swfoc application compatibility settings can cause problems. I checked and it was never selected.

This crash happens mostly when starting a space/land battle or after a battle. A few time that game stayed open after the error message appears however the game closes shortly after.

My specs are:
AMD FX-8350 4Ghz
NVidia 1060
8gb ram
Windows 10

I believe a good start to solving this issue is finding the files in the error message. However I checked the whole empire at war folder and found nothing. This crash can happen ever 30 to 80 minutes and sometimes happens even more often.

Thank you for your time. I know this is a very long post but I wanted to give as much information as possible.
