Hello!!!

I'm having a lot of problems making the game work/run, I have tried making it run on 4 different computers, who all are a lot more powerfull than the requirements for this game, but it doesen't work/run.

I have even bought another game cd, but it doesn't work either, so now I have 2 game cd's, 4 different computers, one more powerfull than the other, and I still can't play this wonderfull game!

Can anyone please help me???? :confused:
 
I need more information than that please.:)

Follow the links in my signature to the support FAQ and "read before posting" stickies...I need detailed system info to be able to help you.
 
Also, tell us exactly what you mean by "won't run". It installs OK? What happens when you double-click on its icon? Any errors?
 
First of all - it's EU1 i'm having problems with, but I can't find any support threads for that, so i hope you can help me.

My computer specifications are:

AMD K6-2 550 Mhz MMX 3D
64 MB SD PC100 Ram
15,2 GB Harddrive - 12,4 GB Free
16 MB APG Graficscard
128 PCI Soundcard
44x ATAPI cd-rom
DirectX 8.0
Windows 98 - 2 version
Danish version of EU1


I have tried doins as asked in the thread called "Running Problems" posted by Uglyduck, and it helped me some of the way, but I still have these problems:

The game craches, and jumps back to windows every time I try to declare war, or if I try to declare peace.
Furthermore the game freezes constantly.

In the thread by Uglyduck,as subject nr 8 - I am supposed to use the Latest patch for my version - I don't know what that means.

I hope you can help me :confused:
 
AH...okay. You need to apply a patch to your game that corrects these problems. It's on the Paradox "Download" page but here's the direct link for you: Europa Universalis 1.10 Nordic patch.

Download this file to your computer and then double click it and it will install the patch. This will almost certainly fix your problem. Let us know if it doesn't or if you run into any other difficulties.
 
I see you have the Danish version...
IIRC, it had the reputation to be extremely crashy because of the translation.

there is a file called text.csv that contains all texts in the game. in this file, some mistakes were done wich leads to CTDs.

Your best bet is to apply the 1.10 patch and then apply this patch:

your game will be in english though :eek:
 
THANK YOU!!! :D :) :D :) :D :)

The game works now!! :p

I haven't tried it on my personal computer yet, because I don't have internet acces on it, but on my business computer I do, and it finally works!!!

YOU ROCK!!!!!!!


-A final question: I've noticed that I have the rank of private, how do I improve this rank?
 
Great news! I'm glad you're up and running...except that since this is on your work computer, you'd better start updating your resume :D

To "improve" your rank, all you need to do is post in threads on these forums. The OT forums don't add to your post count, but all of the regular ones do. (Make sure to read the announcements and stickies in each forum before posting though). As you begin to accumulate posts your "rank" will gradually increase.

If you do some exceptionally helpful work for the board or reach the 3000 post plateau you can get a custom "rank" instead of the standard military ranks.

Most importantly...go have fun with that game, and have a look around the EU1 forum to get all sorts of useful hints, tips and strategies. This is a friendly community, too, so don't be afraid to post any gameplay questions you might have in the EU1 General Discussions forum. You'll soon get your answers.

Good luck. :)
