golden delicious -> TOAW IV without Steam (Resolved) (3/19/2019 2:22:49 PM)
I've been using TOAW IV for a while, but never through Steam (although I have Steam). I just downloaded the latest patch for TOAW IV (4.1.0.21). When I went to run the .exe, it gave me an error on a missing Steam DLL. I dutifully went and got a copy of this DLL from somewhere else and dropped it in the TOAW directory. I now get an even less helpful error message: "The procedure entry point SteamInternal_CreateInterface could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\Program Files (x86)\Matrix Games\The Operational Art of War IV\Opart 4.exe." This is the correct file path for my TOAW IV Exe. I tried a different copy of the DLL (one was from the internet and one was from another game) with the same result. Do I have to reinstall TOAW IV via Steam?

Apparently you get this error if you update to .21 from an older version (before .20). Better to download the full installer for .20 after following the instructions here: http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=4564492 (don't worry about the note at the start, it's fixed in .21) In short: Uninstall the game first, including deleting the "Documents\My Games\The Operational Art of War IV" folder - but backup any mods and custom mods/ini/save files you use first. Then install .20 full, patch to .21.

There's not much going on; sporadic updates from Matt on GS4 and from me on Fall Grau, otherwise just Colin's political threads.

In keeping with my policy on not following instructions I installed .20 over the top of .21 and it now runs fine. I'll let you know if I have any more problems.

I thought I had an account (it may have been an old email), how do you go about registering with TDG to login in the first place?

The site crashed a couple years ago and everything got wiped out, Ben rescued me so maybe he will rescue you also [&o]

There is no uninstall .exe in the program folder no uninstall shortcut and no uninstall option in Syystem/Apps.
