Game Will Not Load

Game won't run. Keeps crashing. Hopefully we won't get any posts here, but if we do, we'll try to help you out. You can also post any bugs that you find here. IMPORTANT: Don't post mod related problems here!

You might also try running dxdiag.exe. This will check if there are any direct x problems. The program will be found in c:\\windows\system32. You may need to change to administrator rights to access that folder.
I can make this march and I will make Georgia howl.

Your friend Chamberlain deserves a commendation. I renamed the file “SOWGB_Intro.mp3” and the game launched. Thank everyone for the help, I’m going to go give it a try. :cheer:

Hey Wetworth,

I remember back in the TC2M days where some guys had issues with their screens and what they would not see. One of the resolutions was to change the name of the .mov in the Movie folder, and that seemed to fix the issue.
I know we do not have a .mov but I thought maybe the music files were causing the problem, so why not just rename the music files and see if it loads. With a lot of good troubleshooting being offered and the problem still there, I figured why not throw this in the pile too !

I am glad that it worked out and I hope you enjoy the game !

;)

Wow, awesome. Glad you got it working. I was really grasping on that one, and Chamberlain pulled a "Hill's Light Division to the rescue" and saved the day. :)

Ok First of all if you Click on Contact and Support the red link at the bottom of the Game Features page it takes you to a game updates page showing patches 1.2 and 1.3 I don't think those are the lastest patches.

The latest patch I got from clicking on the Downloads link at the top of the main home page in yellow downloads .. up pops patch 1.4 I think this is a newer the newest patch.

Also this is the best place in my opinion to download the game the Full Version download .. I deleted the demo I got from a link and used this link (Full Version Download) when I lost my virginity and bought the game I got mine from Digital River. ...

Anyway, this is important too maybe more than the above I have used AVG for years on other computers not this one thank the Lord ... it is hard to turn off - get rid off..

A buddy of mine told me about AVAST it is free too the home version I think all gaming sites should push it rather than AVG in the event they are going to push something.

FYI KIM COMMANDO do you know her she is the sexy voice on the radio a pc guru she has a website of course not making this up anyway She recommends Avast too.

Keep fighting it maybe reload your entire pic format the harddrive and get all the correct files from scratch if ya ain't willing to do that at the drop of a hat ya aint a gamer lmao
This is Abner Monroe Perrin born Edgefield County, South Carolina born Feb 8th 1827 fought in Gettysburg and other engagements.

"Maj. Gen. Edward "Allegheny" Johnson's division was captured on May 12, 1864, units from the Third Corps—including Perrin's brigade—were called in to help. Leading his troops in a spirited counterattack through a very heavy fire, with his sword in hand, Perrin fell from his horse pierced by seven bullets. He died instantly.

Perrin is buried in the Confederate Cemetery in Fredericksburg, Virginia." source wiki
