I bought the english verion of EU2 (version 4) and it clearly said that it had a scenario editor. I could not find one. Do i need to download a patch or anything?

ticked me off when I had to wait many many months for it to come out when it said that it would come out on the box...
Which in my not so humble opinion is a much better way to edit than the scenario editor.
Never had the scenario editor crash like the dickens. The only time it does crash is when I remove a CoT then quit. It crashes while quitting (but since I already saved, theres no problem)
Did you dl the scen. editor patch for the SF version? Its on the downloads page and has a file or two that the scen. editor needs to run.
I downloaded the patch and tried to install it..it said EU2 wasnt installed!!! Is it really ABSOLOUTELY necessary to have DirectX v8.1???
Even after downloading and installing the patch, I can't get the scenario editor to run at all. I keep getting an error that says "Failed to initialize DirectDraw. Try setting the color depth to 16 in your display settings." Now, I don't know exactly which color setting they mean by that, but I've tried it on 16-bit and it still doesn't work.
- right click the desktop
- select properties
- go to settings
- where it says "color quality" choose 16bit
if it is still not working, uninstall the game and reinstall it.
I think i have the answer. Im running xp and im not the admin. EU2 runs perfectly on 8.0, its just my computer says its not installed. When i reinstalled it it gave me an ENOURMOUS error message full of programming codes. There's nothing wrong with the colour, just won't recognize it
