Won't launch
« on: February 18, 2018, 03:15:31 AM »
Hi, I am at loss how to start the mod. Bat file does nothing, adding MODPATH=Mods\Imperial_Civil_War in steam launch options too. I tried to put a shortcut on the desktop and then add MODPATH=Mods\Imperial_Civil_War to it, but it only started normal FoC. I verified game files, still nothing. It never happened before, is it maybe because I am not new laptop with Win 10?

Did you install the mod manually or did you just add it on Steam workshop?

The more details you can provide, the better you can be helped.

Do you own Empire at War Gold through Steam, or another version from another source (GoG, CD, etc.)?  If so, which version from which source?

Did you download the mod and install it manually through ModDB, or through the Steam workshop?

When you attempt to launch Empire at War and Steam asks if you want to launch EaW vanilla or Forces of Corruption, are you selecting FoC?

If you go into your Forces of Corruption folder on whatever drive you have Empire at War installed on, do you find a folder at "\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Star Wars Empire at War\corruption\Mods\Imperial_Civil_War" or the equivalent of it if  it isn't a Steam install?  Does that folder contain folders labeled "Data" and "Documentation"?

Windows 10 shouldn't be the issue, as I have no problem playing the mod on a Windows 10 PC.

Yes, Gold version from Steam.

Manually from moddb, I prefer that way than Steam workshop and it's also not my first time playing this mod, just first time on Win 10.

My mod filepath is D:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Star Wars Empire at War\corruption\Data\Mods\Imperial_Civil_War and there is folder Data and in it the mod itself.

All .exe files are set to compatibility with XP SP3.

I even reinstalled the game and installed mod again, still the same problem. Trying to set launch options or using .bat file or even creating swfoc.exe desktop shortcut with launch options MODPATH=Mods\Imperial_Civil_War yields same resulsts; vanilla FoC will start.

I have Republic at War installed too and it doesn't start either.

I dunno why is that, it's like game doesn't recognize installed mod or something.

Move your Mods folder out of corruption\Data\ so that it is like this: ..common\Star Wars Empire at War\corruption\Mods\Imperial_Civil_War\..
