Could you all please check via Windows Update to make sure your computers are completely up to date as far as Microsoft is concerned?


Fully updated except it wants me to update to Windows 10, which I am not going to do on this computer. It is an older Dell, and Dell has not tested Windows 10 on it. I'm buying a new one in the next couple of months anyway.



floyd17 -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/16/2015 11:15:32 PM)

Same with mine, fully updated and it wants me to update to windows 10, not until I have to. I have been fighting with Germany Reforged since it was release. No problems on other games and download I have purchased. At a lost.



floyd17 -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/17/2015 8:21:44 PM)

I had GEEKSQUAD check my computer and they tried to installed Germany Reforged. They had same issues as I did. They thought the issue lyies with the lastest update. Do I need to report this anywhere else. I thanks you for your ideas and help. Hopefully the problem will resolve it self.



CapnDarwin -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/17/2015 9:07:59 PM)

Floyd and JW. I know Floyd has the DVD. JW do you have one as well? Next question and it may have been asked, but my brains are mush tracking all these issues and posts. Is your Red Storm Game Matrix or Steam? If you have the Steam version of Red Storm and the Matrix DLC, you need to use your Matrix DLC serial number and register that on Steam and then have Steam install the DLC.

Now if your Game and DLC are Matrix then we need to keep digging.



jwarrenw13 -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/17/2015 9:20:13 PM)

Matrix, Matrix, no DVD.



floyd17 -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/18/2015 12:56:38 AM)

I reloaded Redstrom from the DVD, updates were from Matrix and the Germany Reforged was tried from the DVD, would not load. So I used the Germany Reforged downloaded that I received from the members site. I get the same error- as reported before, but after pressing continue several times the game screen comes up and the game work. I have played a little. Hope this helps. If you need more information just let me know. Thanks again



CapnDarwin -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/18/2015 3:00:56 AM)

Floyd are you starting from the launcher or running straight from the FPRS.exe? If not can you try starting from the FPRS.exe and let me know if you get stuck starting. Are you getting the two intro videos playing?



CapnDarwin -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/18/2015 3:02:30 AM)

I should also add we may have a working fix for the weird "Needs drive" bug. We will be testing it more to be sure.



battlerbritain -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/18/2015 8:08:12 PM)

An update on my Reforged problem: it's no longer happening!!

The only thing that has changed is that my AVG Virus checker has just done a major update.

Now I start Flashpoint and no more 'Click to Continues', starting from clicking either the exe or clicking a shortcut.

Baffled as to why, but happy.



CapnDarwin -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/18/2015 9:08:37 PM)

Battlerbritain, is feels like we released in the middle of a Windows OS update, AV update, Steam updates that all conspired to mess up install and play. add that to a couple PBEM++ data transfer issues and it's been a busy week. [sm=00000018.gif]



jwarrenw13 -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/18/2015 11:45:33 PM)

FYI, I tested clicking from the .exe and still got the needs drive bug. Interesting thing, if it matters, it doesn't matter whether I click on cancel, try again, or continue, or any combination. I click on something four times and the game starts on the 4th click. Always four. I have not played a complete game but have run a couple of test turns, and the game appears to run fine after it starts.



CapnDarwin -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/19/2015 1:17:57 AM)

That 4 click may be an old windows bail out for looking at the drive. Something when we start the game is grabbing or getting grabbed erroneously and throwing up the bug. The good news is we may have a working fix and it's being tested.



floyd17 -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/20/2015 5:49:43 PM)

I know you are taking each issue one at a time. Just was wondering if you tackled why the DVD Germany Reforged won't work? Thanks for all the help



CapnDarwin -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/20/2015 6:59:31 PM)

Floyd, as noted above, we do believe we have a fix for the odd drive request bug. We will be test the latest hot fix update over the weekend and hope to ship it out to Matrix early Monday morning if all goes well.



floyd17 -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/24/2015 11:06:17 PM)

I installed the update. Same issues. I rebooted after each update, no improvement. I noticed when I ran Flashpoint Campaign Red Storm after updates 2.0.10 and 2.0.10b, the game thanks me for installing Germany Reforged. Does the screen where you select to play campaign or scenario show 2.0.10, even after update 2.0.10b? Tanks



CapnDarwin -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/24/2015 11:25:22 PM)

It should show 2.0.10b.



floyd17 -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/25/2015 4:05:23 AM)

I have download 2.0.10b and installed. Same issues. I delected the entire game and checked for programs and files that had Flashpoint in their name and deleted all of them. I am able to reload Flashpoint Campaigns Red Storm, updates 2.09;2.0.10 and the games runs fine. I shut down my antivirus and load Germany Reforged, got the error that I reported. Loaded 2.0.10b with anti-virus off. ran the game and got the same error and when I got the game to run after clicking 4 times on error and got to the screen asking if you wanted to play a scenario or campaign it shows 2.0.10. No ideas where to go from here??



CapnDarwin -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/25/2015 10:22:13 AM)

Floyd, we need to find out where the hot fix exe went. The hot fix went out late yesterday and we noticed the error last night. We will verify the installer and go from there on our end.



floyd17 -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/25/2015 2:10:18 PM)

Thanks for the update and I appricate the help.



jwarrenw13 -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/25/2015 3:58:59 PM)

Same here. Same result as Floyd.



CapnDarwin -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/26/2015 12:24:18 AM)

JW and Floyd, download this exe and see if 1) it shows as 2.0.10b and 2) runs for you guys. We are still looking at some weird installer behavior and need to chat with Matrix/Slitherine folks on it, but the holiday is going to disrupt that effort for a few days. Here's the link: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/76610545/FPRS.zip



jwarrenw13 -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/26/2015 2:54:39 AM)

It shows as 2.10b, it runs, but it has the same startup behavior. Not fixed. I tried it from the startup screen and directly from the .exe in the game folder.



floyd17 -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/26/2015 3:00:32 AM)

I download the exe you sent and clicked run. 1st message I got was:FPRS'exe No Disk There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive\Device\Harddisk1\DR1. Click on it 4 times and the it stopped. Closed the exe file and there is this message on the desktop: Fprs ,then on next line there is an X with a red circle followed by Invalid file name - %S. Clicked ok and I get this message Fprs, next line there is an X with a red circle around it and the following Access violation at address ooE9A376 on Module 'FPRS.exe.' Read address 000000D8. Only way to get rid of last message is by restarting computer. Hope this information helps. Again thanks

With respect, you were supposed to put the .exe in the game folder. I think from your description you didn't put it in the game folder.



CapnDarwin -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/26/2015 1:13:16 PM)

Just to summarize where we are, you both have the latest 2.0.10b. You both are seeing the same bad start up with a "please put disk in drive X?" startup. After that you can do the 4 clicks to dump the error but the game does not start after that.

We thought we had that issue isolated in this update. I'll get with Rob and see if we can address that specific item and roll out a test exe for you guys to check in the next day or so. Really sorry for all of this hassle with the install. Hopefully we can find that issue and resolve. Thanks again for your info and patience. We appreciate you guys hanging in there with us. [&o]

My game does start after the four clicks and appears to run fine. I think his does, too.



Deathtreader -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/26/2015 10:35:33 PM)

Hi,

Downloaded and installed your zip, the screen now shows 2.0.10b and the game seems to be working just fine. Yay! (fingers crossed)
Thanks! [:)]

Rob.



CapnDarwin -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/27/2015 12:23:57 AM)

Rob, keep us posted please. We are working to get all of this mess sorted and fixed as best and as quickly as we can. Happy to hear you are up and running.



floyd17 -> RE: ERROR When starting game (11/27/2015 12:52:16 AM)


I place the download in the flashpoint Campaign Red Storm game folder. If there is another folder that the download needs to be placed in, please let me know. If I don't try and start the game from the download, I get the same errors. Ran the game get the error about no disk, but after you click 4 times, the game runs but it shows 2.0.10. Should I delete the game and reload the game, update and try the download for Germany Reforged? I not real computer knowledge, so any help would be appricated.
