[Dave 'Arjuna' O'Connor]

Thanks Budd but I really need someone else to verify this. I usually get a copy of the final LNL installer uploaded to our respository but not this time. So we'll have to wait till either Jason responds or someone else can verify the size. In the meantime have you installed anything else recently?

uninstalled some steam games, cleaned things up a bit. i updated windows, but that was after CO2 wouldn't run. Thought it might be .net thing, i was behind a couple updates. all up to date now. Only other thing i installed was steam game left for dead 2. Other than that no other changes to my system. the last version of CO2 ran with out problems.

 

[Dave 'Arjuna' O'Connor]

What version of dotNet did you install? We are relying on 4.5. There is a dotNetFx45_Full_setup.exe file in your game directory. You could try running that.

I just downloaded the installer. The unzipped size matches what Budd reported, 124,274,768 bytes. Hope this helps.

 

[Dave 'Arjuna' O'Connor]

Thanks rjantzi. I was hoping it didn't match and that it was all due to a corrupt file but at least it rules that out. Once again thanks.

 

[Dave 'Arjuna' O'Connor]

Anyone else still having problems getting the new build to start?

 

[*budd*]

my .net is 4.5 .. no worries it will get worked out sooner or later.

 

[Dave 'Arjuna' O'Connor]

Budd,

Can you please open the game directory in Explorer, sort by type, scroll to show all the dlls, take a screen shot and post it up here for me. Thanks.

 

[griffin115]

Worked fine for me via the usual update program. Win 7 x64

 

[planetbrain]

I also cannot start after latest patch (win10 64bit. .Net is 4.5) but nothing obvious shows in task manager(no game exe).
First installed KOAD , ran game to try. All OK but advised required latest patch. Everything died after patch install, even after restart.

 

[Dave 'Arjuna' O'Connor]

planetbrain, Can you please elaborate on what exactly happened. Where were you in the process when you realised it had died? What dialogs if any did you last see on the screen? Was there an error message?

 

[planetbrain]

Sorry, I wasn't very clear, was I?
I installed KOAD then ran the game. It started OK., so I chose a scenario in KOAD at which point I was advised that the scenario required the latest patch. Closed game, ran the updater which downloaded & installed patch. This made game "unreachable" ie not working & nothing starting but also not apparent in task manager.
There is a reference above to dll's. I see:
lua5.1.dll 323KB 1/8/2015
lua51.dll 11KB 11/6/2014
PGUI.dll 49566KB 20/11/2015
AutoPlaySupport.dll 412KB 1/8/2015 (This in autoplay\plugins sub directory)

 

[Dave 'Arjuna' O'Connor]

planetbrain,

So let me ask a few questions.

• By unreachable do you mean you could not see an icon for the Command Ops application?
• Or if there was a game app what happens when you double click it? Do you see any game dialogs advising you the game is starting? Do you get to the point where you can set the game resolution? What I am trying to determine here is where it fails.

 

[planetbrain]

It does not get to game resolution screen & there is no dialog at all, but I do notice the little win 10 waiting wheel rotating while on desktop screen.
OK I see that if I go to details screen in task manager there are 2 instances of CmdOps.exe so I was wrong there, sorry.
I can't close these as "access is denied"

 

[Dave 'Arjuna' O'Connor]

Where are you launching the game from? Is it the desktop shortcut, the Start menu or the actual game app in the game directory?

 

[planetbrain]

Currently, the desktop short cut. I'm about to try direct from folder, but will need to restart computer first to ensure prior closure. Will revert.

 

[planetbrain]

Arjuna, I find that the 2 instances of CmdOps.exe still list in task manager on restart from shut down PC before I try and start the game. So I haven't tried

 

[Dave 'Arjuna' O'Connor]

Do a shut down, wait for a good 30 seconds and then restart. This ensures the RAM chips are flushed - well it should.
