<r> Hello guys, <br/>
<br/>

<br/>
The game I'm playing is a Shadow one, started as an empire. Bad luck for me, my home system was not in a very dense area with lots of ...

<r> Ok, guys, answering my own questions <E>:-)</E><br/>
<br/>
So, I used another download. My first try was recovering my files from Plimus. I got the latest patch, which didn't work for an unknown reason. So I contacted Plimus, and asked them a new download. Which I received. Using the original ...

<t> Hello guys, <br/>
<br/>
I just built a new computer, and now I'm spending time in installing the games I had previously. THe only big difference for me this time, is that I can't find out how to install properly DW and the 2 dlc.<br/>
<br/>
I'm on Windows 7 64 bits, and I have a SSD boot up ...

Glad it helps other people too

Even if this sounds weird, could you just try this one for me ? I had something similar to your case, but it is all now working perfectly...<br/>
<br/>

- desinstall the game<br/>
- remove folders c:matrix games<br/>
- empty trash<br ...

<r> Final update on this problem... It's working ! All versions, up to 1.7.0.6 ! Without a glitch now...<br/>
<br/>
Here is the solution... It's the weirdest solution I've ever heard, but at least it will alow me to play now. Since I read on the web that a LOT of people do have problems with ...

Return of the Shakturi not updated works now... It's in good shape !

Wait ! I just checked (again) and started the game... And it launched ! I install right away all the expansions, and checking after each one... I'll let you know what I did to make this works... What I did is truly strange, but it seems it is working now !! Installing and letting you know

<t> I just SO HATE Windows... And I mean it...<br/>
<br/>
Well, 1.0.7.1 --> I do have GameText.txt It is... surprisingly read and write. As a matter of fact ALL the files are read and write. ALL folders are read only. But ALL files are accessible...<br/>
<br/>
Don't take my caps against you, but ...

<t> I think I'm going forward with this problem... I'm now pretty sure I found the problem, but I'm unable to modify it so far. I tried to install the program inside program files (x86). Even there, it is read only. All my programs there are read only. I don't know why it has this parameter as ...

<r> Ok, I just came back from work... Small try.<br/>
<br/>
I uninstall everything. Make sure the folders are not there anymore, and empty the trash. I install the first game. The version I have from scratch is version 1.0.6. Once installed I change the permission on the folder so it is not read ...

<t> The last running version is the original one version 1.0.6 that version works with no problems.<br/>
<br/>
I think i've already removed the read only to all folders, subfolders and files but it was after installation. Maybe one file was not correctly updated. I will try reinstalling it all and ...

<r> Thanks for your support <E>:-)</E><br/>
<br/>

<r> I've continued searching for a solution. Here is what I've come up with.<br/>
<br/>
It seems the error CLR20r3 is a call out of .Net framework to an external library or ressource. I've searched the web and discovered an interesting stuff. During the procedure here below, I noticed it was ...

<t> Ok, so... I've thought and searched the web to try and find a solution.<br/>
<br/>
- I've reinstalled .Net Framework 4.0 (I need the 4 for another game). But I guess 3.5 is inside the 4 right ? Because I can't install 3.5 at all. I can only update the 4. It is now done, but still the very same ...

<r> Same here guys... Crash upon starting the game. <br/>
<br/>
Fresh install of DIstant Worlds (it works like a charm). Install Return of Shakturi (it works like a charm). Install Legends, and update it. (it crashes on starting).<br/>
<br/>
I don't think this is something related to IE or ...
