Am I mad or is this a screenshot from CMANO. Matrix did you get your royalties?

Sorry been away. Yup found the saves and grateful for above posts. Followed Dimitris link re 4k and seems to work better thanks all - over and out

mikmyk - Thanks found a save. Dated the day I first saved it, but it appears like it might be my last save game but difficult to remember. No mention of autosave anywhere though

Dimitris - thanks for the link. I will give that a try later and see if it helps

<t> Not played for a 2/3 months due to buggy interface on hd monitor. Decided I would come back later and it would probably be better. Internet access was out for 33 hrs so imagined I could play offline. Got a query/statement about Steam and offline. When game started the start menu looked wrong ...

Steam still on sr3. How long is it usually before Steam is caught up?

<t> Also on Steam sp3 and I just had to stop playing due to various screen corruptions. The window for cmano suddenly went from full screen to off the screen. Was necessary to drag the window title bar to the left a lot in order to get the corner controls back, and choose full screen again ...

<t> I have this also on 4k monitor running at 3840 x 2160. On the first four training scenarios I did not notice as they fill the screen (maximised) and that's all I needed. But after loading Standalone>Advanced ASW exercise the game loaded with the window not maximised - it extended beyond the edge ...

<t> Something changed, but I don't really know what. Uninstalled from Steam then reinstalled. Same behaviour when starting from Steam. But now if I run from the command.exe suddenly it's working. May have been the offline/online thing which I did after reinstalling<br/>
<br/>
Many thanks all. Got ...

Hi BertyD,<br/>
<br/>
I have seen a similar issue in the past, which was fixed by going offline and online again on Steam.<br/>
<br/>
Essentially, try running the game, if you get the "This game requires Steam" error message try the ...

Have you tried installing the game outside C:\ Program Files (x86)\Steam..., in for example C:\Games \Steam\....?
<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>
<br/>
Originally it was installed in a different folder on a different disk, as can be seen in the log ...

<r> Essentially the same as the original problem. Here is the newer event viewer/windows logs/applications error log. You might notice a difference in the install location from the original. Apart from that the only difference is the Faulting Process id<br/>

<CODE><s>[code]</s>Faulting ...

I have steam_api.dll but not staeam_appid.txt

So I created the txt file blank. Fail. I found an id for the game and put the number 321410 in it. Fail

Maybe if someone could confirm the correct id for Version 1.11 SR1 it might work

<r> Your point is taken but quite often Win updates affect some and not others.And errors on user computers compound the problem no doubt.<br/>
<br/>
Since I re-installed Steam it is the only game installed<br/>
edit - but I see what you are getting at so I reloaded 'Company of Heroes 2' and it ...

<t> In my desperation to find what is causing this problem I went back to the basic of looking for how to sort out the kernelbase.dll error. I came across one youtube vid which suggested an automatic update (which fixed security issues in flash player for IE) could be causing the problem on starting ...

<t> Issue persists after trying all of that. <br/>
<br/>
Also tried (as administrator)<br/>
<br/>
- regsvr32 kernelbase.dll and got "he module 'KERNALBASE.dll' was loaded but the entry-point DllRegisterServer was not found. Make sure that 'KERNELBASE.dll' is a valid DLL or OCX file"<br/>
<br ...

<t> I get the same result with the steam file present or removed (and with Steam client running or not running). A message box comes up saying -<br/>
<br/>
"It appears you are running the command in Steam mode, but the Steam client does not appear to be running. Please ensure the Steam client is ...

<r> Thanks michaelm<br/>

Unplug your second monitor, reboot Windows, run the game and check if the issue persists.

<br/>
Did that. No go<br/>
<br/>
Also replaced mouse and ran sfc /scannow. <br/>
<br/>
Still no go ...

<t> Interesting call which I will try. I have been troubleshooting all day and found an inconsistency in the way my mouse was behaving. Not sure why but it was plugged into a usb 3.0 hub, whereas I would normally have that and the keyboard direct to the motherboard. Upon resiting it windows ...

.... Steam running as 'admin' in win 8 compatibility, and also tried 7 compatibility ...

Thanks for the help though

<r> Sorry about the bad netiquette of making so many posts. But this forum is difficult to deal with<br/>
<br/>
I have spent many hours today browsing forums looking for solutions to the problem<br/>
<br/>
You might have noticed from my first post all the things I have tried, indicating how many ...
