Hi, my mod has stopped working.

I did have troubles with getting a message saying CD can't be authenticated - I used to fix this by opening the DVD drive and closing it again. Now that doesn't work and now my damn stupid computer doesn't pick up on the fact that the disc is in the damn drive when I try and start Imperial civil war. Basix FOC starts fine thoug.

I've search the forums but I seem to be only one having this trouble.

. PS ram fix installed, still no joy.

Any help would be appreciated.

Does any other mod run?

ColDale · « **Reply #43 on:** August 15, 2014, 07:47:02 PM »

I've used galaxy at war and UEW before. Both ran fine. Though I had to remove both and do clean install of EAW and FOC to install this mod.

Try right clicking the batch file to launch the mod and running as administrator?

Just got the dos screen flash up quickly then nothing, not even DVD Drive motor working.

Did you use the .zip file or the installer to install? That's really odd behavior.

ColDale · « **Reply #47 on:** August 16, 2014, 08:01:02 AM »

I used the installer. This issue only became major after a recent windows 7 update. I think that may have thrown it off.

ColDale · « **Reply #48 on:** August 16, 2014, 08:11:26 AM »

UPDATE - I got it working!. I went into compatibility, selected windows 7 and it's running again.

after all that, if I had a swear box I would probably be able to afford another computer after emptying that out.

Thanks for the help anyway.

The Problem I have got was already mentioned but I still cant figure out why it isnt working.
To make a long story short I bought the Empire at War Gold Edition on Steam and I just get the vanilla version of the Game. I did everything like it is in the Manual.
My Path I use in Launch Options: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Star Wars Empire at War\corruption\Mods\Imperial_Civil_War
The Folder is there and I dont know why it isnt working. I assume it is because of the Gold Pack because I cant set up the Path specific for FoC but only for the Gold Edition.
Please help me I even bought it the second time because of this mod and i couldnt find the CD-Rom anymore.
Greetings
Christopher

If you're using the Steam version of EAW/FOC the only bit you need in Launch Options is MODPATH=Mods\Imperial_Civil_War (Steam knows the rest of the path). Then just remember to start the game from the Steam client (you can't use desktop shortcuts etc because for some reason they will only ever launch Empire at War and not Forces of Corruption).

Thank you. Works like a charm.
Love u all

Hi! I'm trying to start this mod on my Empire at War Gold Pack Steam installation and I've followed the mod instructions to the letter.

I downloaded the Zip file, extracted the files in it, and placed the files in the mod folder of my steamapps corruption folder as per instructed.

I also put in the MODPATH=Mods\Imperial_Civil_War in the steam launch options, but when I press play on Forces of Corruption, the vanilla game keeps playing.

Would appreciate some help! I've been reading great things about this mod and I'm really excited to finally try it out after all these years.

To be 100% clear... all of the files exist in a folder called Imperial Civil War in your corruption/mods folder, yes? You didn't just copy the files into the corruption/mods folder, but you have a corruption/mods/Imperial_Civil_War folder which has those files, correct?

Dark Sager · « **Reply #56 on:** September 18, 2015, 02:31:16 AM »

Apologies for the false alarm. I realized after fiddling with the files for a bit that not all of the data from the zip file transferred over to the Mods folder. So after I pasted the missing data back in the mod activated normally.

It's a great mod! Only like an hour in the grand campaign. I'm bad with micromanaging so it's gonna take a while for me to finish it, but the skirmishes I've played have been really fun!

You guys did some great work and I'm really enjoying it. Thanks for all the hard work you put into the mod and the forum support!

Pali · « **Reply #57 on:** September 18, 2015, 02:54:32 AM »

If you're bad at the micromanaging, I do not recommend playing Art of War on Admiral.

TheGamingPredator · « **Reply #58 on:** January 06, 2016, 03:33:56 PM »

Ok so when I launch forces of corruption from steam it shows me the loading screen but crashes saying "An exception has occurred. see logfile.txt and _except.txt for details" and when I launch it from the batch file it just takes me to normal Empire at war. Any suggestions?

Corey · « **Reply #59 on:** January 06, 2016, 04:32:33 PM »

Make sure you have the FoC ram fix installed.
