1.0.81 update: what have I done wrong? - 11/22/2017 2:48:05 PM

Status: offline 		I'm sorry to be the usual pain the ***, but I have a big issue with versione 1.0.81.

I downloaded the .ZIP file and unzipped it in a folder I use to keep all TOTH-related files.
Then I double-clicked on the TigersOnTheHunt-UpdateComp-v1.0.81.exe file.
Apparently, everything went fine: I clicked on the TOTH icon on the Desktop and the main menu appeared, but:
the "Play Game" and "Editor" buttons have no effect: the main menu disappears, then re-appears after 30 seconds
the "Manual", "Check for Updates" and "Forum" buttons work as intended.

I am certain I have made some mistake during the installation process, but I have been unable to discover where I was wrong. Can somebody please explain me some way to correct this ugly situation?

Status: offline 		Same for me, I reinstalled the original game, added the update and the game does not start, it always comes back to autorun page which I report is still in version 1.0.
Fortunately I did not do the same thing on my second PC.
Happy birthday UP!

Status: offline 		are you guys running the game/editor for the matrix games application or do you directly click on the game and/or editor exe ?

I just tested it, the update works fine for me on the test machine. I have downloaded the patch, run the setup, it automatically detected the game installed directory and serial key...and everything got installed. I then just run the game/editor directly without any issues.

Status: offline 		I utilized the launch menu's update feature. After updating, launching the game or the editor just drops back to the menus. Also, the first time each ran I got a dialog saying they crashed. Running directly from Program Files does nothing as well.

Status: offline 		If I launch the game from the game menu (image below), it does not start and the game menu screen re-appears aftere a few seconds. The same also happens if I click on "Editor" or "Tutorials".

If I launch the game from the desktop icon linked to the game executable, or by directly double-clicking on the executable file within the TOTH folder, the HD light blinks, but nothing else happens.

The Manual is the v.1.0.81 version, since it includes the new appendices describing the new features.

Should I place the update file in the "Patches" sub-folder of the TOTH folder before launching it?

I'm not sure what's wrong, I would recommend reinstalling TotH and Kursk and then manually update the game using the UPDATE4 patch.

Thanks for trying Rico: I don't have the slightest idea about how to reinstall TOTH.

Yes I installed without any issue Windows 7 64bit. Deleted my old shortcut on desktop, then shortcut to my desktop the application in the game folder "autorun.exe". All seems to run fine!

But did the re-install solve the issue with version 1.0.81?

Status: offline 		Zakblood, my deepest felt thanks for your effort, but unfortunately the final result didn't change.

I uninstalled TOTH, then I exactly followed every step of your tutorial. Everything went fine, exactly as shown in your screenshots up to step #24 (included).

When I try launching the game from the new, just installed icon on the desktop, however, the game menu screen disappears, the game does not start and the menu screen returns.

I am running TOTH on Windows 7 64-bit Home. Can this be the cause of this issue?

Status: offline 		no,.

for me the issue is more than likely you anti virus program messing about and stopping a given file etc and or,

your account needs to have admin permissions to install and run, as shown in the guide.

as i've noticed AVG on your pc, it has to be the worst game un friendly piece of free rubbish that's been invented for issues on pc game installing, so check the AV logs and see if it did in fact mess around, and then try again, but this time, add the game file or folder to the safe / white list of the AV

google "AVG and installing games" without the brackets and see how many hits it gets

Status: offline 		There definitely is a glitch on patch 1.0.81. On my WinXP PC after downloading, and installing the patch the game won't start, but instead gives me an unintelligible error message.
On my Win10 PC first it says I can't download where I want but in some other folder. Once downloaded it says I need administrator rights to unpack it. Once I've convinced the damn thing that I do have administrator rights and try to install it I received a warning that it was impossible to install. Anyway I forced the issue and finally installed 1.0.81, but it was an exasperating hassle completely unlike the previous TotH upgrades.

Status: offline 		I regret to report that nothing has changed.

I uninstalled TOTH, then I created an exception for its folder following the procedure explained in the link provided by Zakblood (thanks!) and, finally, I de-activated AVG.

I installed v1006 (running the exe as an Admin) with no issues: it runs perfectly.
Then I installed v1081 (always running the exe as an Admin) and I am back to square one: the game won't launch.

I think I will take a short break. I will try again in a few days with a fresh mind.

I have the same issue. It won't start and simply returns to the main menu. I have tried Zackblood's recommended install with no success.

My desktop, which doesn't work:

AMD Athlon X2-250 3ghz
4mb Ram
Windows 10, 64bit
Radeon 7700 2gb gram
Realtek sound
AVG Internet Security 2017(up to date)
