Status: offline 		Okay, something happened...

I tried changing the symbol icons using the stylized pack (Stalintc’s Stylised Icon Pack) I downloaded from Warsim. Immediately afterwards, I started getting this message every time I tried to start the game...

So, I have no idea what I did wrong. I deleted the icons, restored the original icons from a zip file backup, and even reinstalled the 1.01 update from the Patches directory. Nothing.

Any ideas? Help!

If you see that screen, select not to close Command and you will continue to play as normal.
I ooccasionally get this as well when opening scenarios but not all the time. Happens when I keep loading scenarios without quitting Command

No. I do get the map screen for just a moment and then it closes down.

I even tried re-installing the prerequisites (DXSETUP.exe, etc.) but it did no good.

If the next public build is released in a day or so, it's not a big deal, but otherwise I fear I'll have to uninstall the whole program and reinstall it and hope that does the trick. Otherwise...sheesh, I don't know what to do.

v. 101/Build 442 works fine.

So, basically, the solution was a "brute force" one...uninstall, delete the folder to get rid of any remaining files that did not simply uninstall, reinstall, update...and it works. Well, so far at least. Takes a while, but it's good to know that, if worst comes to worst, I can get it back up and running.
