  • Warlock 2: The Exiled
  • Warlock: Master of the Arcane
Warlock 2: The Exiled was working fine. A disk crash forced me to restore my system to a time prior to installing Warlock. I downloaded it and reinstalled.

This error will happen immediately if I attempt to play a new single-player game. It dies while I'm still in the main menu. If, however, I opt to continue or load a game, it will take some time before the game crashes with a similar type of error.

I have tried multiple uninstalls and reinstalls. I even tracked down
Code:
F:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\70632756\205990
and renamed the directory (as somebody with a similar problem had hinted). This made no difference.

Please help me figure out how to totally uninstall or completely reinstall or whatever I need to do to make this game work. I loved playing it and am really upset that it is currently DOA.

I'd start by running Steam Verifies until there are 0 errors found, as that looks like a corrupted executable to me.

If that doesn't help , paste this into Steam-War2-Properties-Set Launch Options:

-safe_mode

and see if it runs then.
 
Well, the same game worked on the same hardware before. I guess it can only be some missing Windows modules, or other OS issue. Is Windows all patched up to date from the Windows Update site?

Are you on the very latest video driver from the video card vendor's website?
