If your mod crashes on startup, these are the most likely causes.

1. Make sure you completely remove 1.3 before installing 2.0. Do not install 2.0 directly over 1.3.
Just please, don't do it.

2. Make sure you have the Forces of Corruption RAM fix.

~~This can be found here: http://www.lucasarts.com/support/update/EAWFOC1_1.html#fix~~
The file you're looking for is called FOC_RAM_MPLobby_update.exe

3. Make sure no other mods are installed into data.
You can have as many mods as you want in your mods folder, but if you have one hard installed overwriting the main Forces of Corruption data folder, it will cause a crash.

4. Make sure you're giving it enough time to load.
Unless you actually get an exception error, chances are you're just not giving the mod enough time to load. The mod is quite large, so it can take a few minutes to startup, especially on older machines.

If you've tried all of these, and still have problems, respond to this thread and I will try to help you.

It would seem I just can't get the game to start. I load up the game, the initial image shows and then it just crashes to desktop.

Corey · « **Reply #2 on:** September 04, 2012, 09:16:20 PM »

Do you get any error messages or does it just go from the Stormtrooper shoulder to desktop without the exception notice or anything?

KierenHorn · « **Reply #3 on:** September 04, 2012, 09:53:02 PM »

It says the program has stopped responding. It never finds a reason why though.

Do you have the RAM patch we link to in the manual?

KierenHorn · « **Reply #6 on:** September 06, 2012, 02:11:13 AM »

I do.

KierenHorn · « **Reply #7 on:** September 06, 2012, 01:08:00 PM »

Solved it with a simple re-install. ^_^

Hey i got it thanks

When I start up the game, (starting at the main battlescreen to launch the game) all of the buttons and icons are messed up. It's like the MTD file has bad icons in it, or is corrupted, but when I open it with the MTD extractor, everything looks OK. I'm not sure what the issue is.

Any thoughts?

Do you have the first hotfix?

mbmcdon · « **Reply #11 on:** September 17, 2012, 06:36:05 PM »

No I didn't. I forgot about that, but that fixed the problem. Thank you!

Game freezes/crashes at stormtrooper shoulder. I alt+tab and see a message stating that an error has occurred and please see _logfile.txt and _except.txt (which I can't seem to find anywhere). The error dialogue box gives me the option to cancel or to retry and attempt to debug the program. If I click cancel the program immediately shuts down. If I click retry, I get the message that SWFOC has stopped working. I have installed the hotfix and the RAM fix and FOC is updated to 1.1. This MOD is the only one installed in my mods folder and I have no mods hard installed.

Steam or retail?

MarekVulen · « **Reply #14 on:** October 10, 2012, 07:41:41 PM »

retail

Corey · « **Reply #15 on:** October 10, 2012, 08:00:13 PM »

Can you go into your Forces of Corruption\Data folder (not the mod's) and check if there's an XML folder with two files called Gameconstants.xml and Graphicdetails.xml in there?

MarekVulen · « **Reply #16 on:** October 10, 2012, 09:55:13 PM »

I have both files in that folder.

ritterkreuz · « **Reply #17 on:** October 12, 2012, 12:44:32 PM »

What if I don't have that Xml folder or those files? Does that mean I'm measing the. Ram fix?

It's possible. I would certainly recommend you try installing the RAM Fix since you reported in your other post that you're having trouble starting the mod.

Thank you Slornie, I'll give it a go.
