Hi,
I've got a problem with Europa Universalis 2 on my machine. I had been playing without any problems (using 1.05 patch) and had saved my game before I went to bed. The next day, I tried to return to the game. Almost immediately, the game became intolerably slow. I resetted the computer (running Win2000 by the way). From that point on, everytime I try to start EU2 it never gets past the point "initializing global variables". If I look with taskmanager, EU2.exe is consuming all CPU-time.
Things I tried to get it back to work (in this order):
- I deleted the files that were left over from the previous run. The bar starts at the beginning but stops at the same point as before.
- I tried "repair" from the install program of the CD.
- I uninstalled and reinstalled EU2. With and without the latest patch.
- I uninstalled EU2, removed every registry key about EU I could find, rebooted, reinstalled. No difference.
I am pretty much out of options right now. Which is a shame, because I had just conquered a province with gold in it and I am anxious to see how it will improve my cash flow.
Does anyone have suggestions?
Some specs: Athlon XP 1600+, 256MB, plenty of disk space left, GeForce 3Ti200, SB Live!
Bye,
Steven
