budd -> RE: Reforged issue (Steam Install) (11/13/2015 1:51:41 AM)

roger that

verified game cache, 8 files needed to be re-aquired. Tried to start game, froze at same cdkey screen. Steam bootstrapper stopped running, screen with choice wait for program to respond or shutdown program. I shutdown program, bring steam window back up, see under FPC game still running, try to shutdown steam, prompts to shutdown FPC first, can't shut steam down.Check task manager, see 3 instances of automenu running, can only shut down one. Going to reboot and delete local content and download again.

Deleted local content, downloaded again, still same issue. While it was frozen at the cdkey screen i did go into task manager and saw that again there was 3 instances of autorun exe. running. I could shutdown steam through task manager, but when i restarted steam it showed FPC as still running. I could only end task on 1 instance of the autorun exe. the other 2 i can only make go away by rebooting my computer.



budd -> RE: Reforged issue (Steam Install) (11/13/2015 3:12:48 AM)

deleted local content and downloaded again this time didn't install reforged. Game ran fine version 2.0.10, installed reforge and back to the same problem. Again 3 instances of the autorun exe. process running in task manager. Done for today i'll check back tomorrow.



Swiso -> RE: Reforged issue (Steam Install) (11/13/2015 7:36:10 AM)

Budd, I had the same problem and solved by downloading Steam again (maybe is a new release) and installing OVER your installed version.



schmolywar -> RE: Reforged issue (Steam Install) (11/13/2015 10:11:22 AM)

Are we getting closer to a hotfix here?



Erik Rutins -> RE: Reforged issue (Steam Install) (11/13/2015 12:28:43 PM)

We've just posted a hotfix update on Steam that should resolve this issue. Please restart Steam, let it download and install and let us know if it resolves the issue for you.

Apologies for the inconvenience!

Regards,

- Erik



francescoperrone -> RE: Reforged issue (Steam Install) (11/13/2015 12:48:37 PM)

worked for me...thanks



Swiso -> RE: Reforged issue (Steam Install) (11/13/2015 1:23:48 PM)

Not for me...game dont start...I see the main menu but when i click start game, nothing happen



Erik Rutins -> RE: Reforged issue (Steam Install) (11/13/2015 1:25:05 PM)

Did you see the update download and install through Steam? Do you mean when you click "Play Game" from the initial game menu? Is that game menu labeled with the Germany Reforged logo?



francescoperrone -> RE: Reforged issue (Steam Install) (11/13/2015 1:30:05 PM)

Swiso has a different issue from mine : mine was germany reforged scenarios not starting, red storm was working fine



Swiso -> RE: Reforged issue (Steam Install) (11/13/2015 1:34:28 PM)

same problem chicco....me too had germany reforged not starting.

Erik...I restarted Steam, saw the download (5.8 MB size), then started the game, saw the germany reforged logo, and when I need to choose between read manual or play game, I click play game but nothing happen.
I cleaned the local files of the game, redownloaded, installed again, ttried second time, same problem [&:]

EDIT : game not starting but I see on the left side of Steam interface window that the game is running.... but nothing happen

EDIT 2: If I go to task manager on Windows, I see 3 process named "FPRS.exe *32" (120 kb) running....not possible to close those processes...dont know if game related, but restarting windows, going on task manager again, those processes are not there...they appear only after starting the game I think.



schmolywar -> RE: Reforged issue (Steam Install) (11/13/2015 1:45:25 PM)

Works!



IainMcNeil -> RE: Reforged issue (Steam Install) (11/13/2015 1:54:19 PM)

@Swiso, can you reboot and try deleting the flashpoint.ini in the games install folder. This worked for some people.



Swiso -> RE: Reforged issue (Steam Install) (11/13/2015 2:06:25 PM)

Nope....I closed Steam, deleted that file, restarted Steam, Checked integrity of local files (was ok, then started the game, same problem...I see "Game Running" on the left of Steam window, but game doesent start.



CapnDarwin -> RE: Reforged issue (Steam Install) (11/13/2015 2:20:26 PM)

Swiso, can you open Task Manager and see if there are multiple autorun.exe files running at the crash? There are some systems having this issue at start or close and it appears to be a Steam issue. One player was able to fix the problem by reinstalling the latest Steam install over top his existing, deleted the game files and downloaded and installed the game again. We are going to be looking into this problem with Steam and the autorun.exe and see if a better solution is out there for this problem.

Hi, no...only one autorun.exe file running, but on the other hand, I see three FPRS.exe *32 fils running at the same time and not possible to close them...to do it I need to restart the PC, then these files are gone from Task manager

Tried but no success.



TheWombat_matrixforum -> RE: Reforged issue (Steam Install) (11/13/2015 5:38:13 PM)

Thanks for the hotfix, works fine now. Good luck to the others who have different issues.



CapnDarwin -> RE: Reforged issue (Steam Install) (11/13/2015 6:47:28 PM)

Wombat, Thanks for letting us know you are up and running.



pekische -> RE: Reforged issue (Steam Install) (11/13/2015 7:05:28 PM)

I have the same issue like Swiso. The game doesn't start after installation of Germany Reforged. Only initial screen I can see. After click on start button nothing happens. I have reinstall steam client and the game also. Nothing helped. My OS - Win 10.



CapnDarwin -> RE: Reforged issue (Steam Install) (11/13/2015 7:33:41 PM)

For swiso and pekische, have you tried installing the game or steam update using the Run as Admin function? Also see if launching the game using that function from the shortcut works better. Let us know if you get a bug report, or looking at task manager, see more than one instance of Autorun.exe or FPRS.exe in the list.

We are looking into these odd cases and hope to find a solution soon. Thanks for your patience.

Yes, tried but no success.
Usually after clicking PLAY GAME, if I go to task manager I see three FPRS.exe in the list.



pekische -> RE: Reforged issue (Steam Install) (11/13/2015 8:15:15 PM)

The same.... except that I see one "Game Menu" in task manager and I can kill this.



budd -> RE: Reforged issue (Steam Install) (11/13/2015 9:12:24 PM)

looks like my problem got solved with the hotfix, thank you. I haven't played yet but did open and close the program a few times and start some scenarios. Hope everyone else gets there problems sorted out.



CapnDarwin -> RE: Reforged issue (Steam Install) (11/13/2015 10:05:23 PM)

Budd, thanks for the update and I'm glad we got you going.



pekische -> RE: Reforged issue (Steam Install) (11/14/2015 5:49:54 PM)

I have tried to reinstall the game again. I have installed only bas game (Red Storm) without DLC (Germany Reforged). And the state is even worse. The game doesnīt run even without DLC (the vanilla game ran normally before purchase of DLC )... Neither the start menu appears. I have steam version....

Same here....
Is there a way to clean everything on my PC (register too) that is related to this game ?
Maybe cleaning everything related and doing a clean install...who know ?



CapnDarwin -> RE: Reforged issue (Steam Install) (11/14/2015 7:14:05 PM)

In Steam you can clear the local content, but that can leave some files behind. Try the following:
1. Right click on the game title in your steam games list.
2.Click on Properties.
3. Click the Local Files Tab
4. Click on Browse Local Files and that will open an explorer window.
5. Click on Delete Local Game Content to remove game files.
6. After that is done look to see if any files or folders are left behind. If there are delete them.
7. Exit steam, reboot go into steam and reload the game. See if Red Storm runs before doing the DLC.
8. Let me know if Red Storm works at 2.0.10.

You may need to disable DLC by going to the Properties dialog DLC tab and unchecking install.

Will keep working on this end.



pekische -> RE: Reforged issue (Steam Install) (11/14/2015 8:09:40 PM)

Thanks for the help.



CapnDarwin -> RE: Reforged issue (Steam Install) (11/14/2015 8:32:51 PM)

My theory is something in the latest Steam and MS OS updates has messed with certain AV/UAC/Access privileges that were okay before. We are drilling down though these bugs to do what we can on our end. I'm glad you are running again.
