Crashes when loading game

[Atalacus]

I was playing EUII for a while on my new system with the 1.07 patch. I've noticed the game crashes randomly ever since I got it, but it seems to have fixed itself with the new 1.07 patch, and a new computer. However one night I was playing fine, shut down my PC, and then the next day I booted up, tried to load my game and it crashed when I hit load after selecting the saved game. I had had this issue with saved games before so I tried the auto save, same thing. I then just tried to start a new game and it crashed when I hit start. I check other games(like Battlefield 1942, Unreal 2003, etc.) and they worked fine, so I figured something happened with europa, unistalled it, restarted and reinstalled w/ 1.07 patch. Same thing is happening. I can install the game and not install any patch and it runs, I haven't tried any patch except 1.07. But I was previously running 1.07 and it worked fine, and I had installed nothing new or changed anything from when it worked to when it didn't besides restarting my computer.

I'm just seeing if anyone has had this problem or have any ideas.

I have Windows XP, P4 2.4 GHz, 1 GB RAM, Radeon 9700 All-in-wonder pro, Sound blaster audigy 2 platinum, um...Western Digital Special Edition 7200RPM 120GB HDs. If any of that makes a difference...like I said it was working fine on the same system before.

1.06

Okay doesn't work with the 1.06 patch either

I'm having the same problem accually

 

[Castellon]

Have you both tried to rename your AVI folder to AVI_back?

 

[Pyriel]

Yepp, but I found that my problem was with the exe file apperantly, since it seems to get corrupted now and then.

So I made a fresh install, of patch and game , and made a copy of the exe file then when it got corrupted again I simply deleted it and copied the other copy I had saved somewhere else
worked fine for me

 

[Castellon]

Whatever works I guess.
Sounds like you have something wrong with your HD if files are getting corrupted all the time.

 

[Pyriel]

No it's just that file oddly enough

 

[Castellon]

Sounds strange!

 

[Pyriel]

Agreed
But I'm not complaining now since it seems to work, with delete and replace

 

[Castellon]

If it works go for it.
I will file this away in my head, for future problems.

 

[Atalacus]

Fixed

Been busy, so it took me awhile to post a reply but I renamed the AVI folder and it loaded fine...going to go back in and install the latest patch and hopefully it will keep working...

Great!
