i tried playing hoi 1 and an error came up saying:

Critical error!

--- ERROR: (unknown lhs in command) ' cvalue = 1' Line = 523 file = db\events\ RandomEvents.txt---

Do you still want to continue?

then there were 3 button's to click on they were Abort, Retry, and Ignore. how can i fix this i installed the patch for it?

Does clicking Ignore make the game load normally? What mods did you install?

it won't run normally wheater i press ingnore, retry, and abort. the only mod's that i have as far as i'm aware of are the one's that were install with the game and the patch.

Ok, i'll move you over to Support.

You should not be getting this obviously.
I would say your install was fubar.
Wipe the game from your system and do a fresh install, then just apply the latest patch.
Do not install any user mods, including those on the Patinum eddtion CD.

i uninstalled the game and the patch then i reinstalled them both. it would work normally for a couple day's yhen it would start that agian.

It might be helpful to post your system specs; dxdiag info.

Also, what language are you running? (both the game and OS)

I noticed that some versions of the 1.06c patch are for the spanish version only - I almost downloaded that one by mistake.

Also, I am not sure about this - but when they said to wipe your system, I think you may have to manually delete the saved game files. If you are using any old data from your previous install, this may cause an error. (although I am confused about the fact that it appears to run fine for several days and then act up again)

It is a great game and you should not give up on getting it to run!

Good luck,

You could just edit out the event that is giving you the error.
