thx

<r> Thanks so much for the tips. I have a few more newbie questions if you don't mind! <E>:)</E> I'm starting to get comfortable with the UI so am now noticing more and more details.<br/>
<br/>
1. On the main map each town/city has different colored dots underneath. I'm guessing blue dots mean ...

<t> Hi all, this is my first AGEOD game. Just need some guidance as a newbie. I've read the manual, watched the tutorials on YouTube, and have played around with the UI etc (learned to move, make stacks, attack etc). What I'm wondering is what is the best way to approach the game at first? Should I ...

Thanks Asid. One of those worked. I turned off the virus protect and ran as admin and it installed successfully. thx!

Hi all, just purchased Wars of Succession and have tried 6-7 times to install. It keeps hanging up/freezing when it gets to "Creating uninstall executable..." (not responding). Any suggestions? I've redownloaded once and tried but to no success. I'm running Win 7. thx

<t> ...but my biggest complaint about AGEOD's historical games is there is no tactical/operational play in battles. It's unfulfilling to build up your army and march it off only to have the battle fought by the computer using a non-historical "combat power" rating. I wish I could prove my ...

Thanks rustysi, I tried your suggestion first, but no luck. thx

<t> I also downloaded and installed (copied over) the wmvcore.dll file sets for 32 and 64. Still crashed at same time roughly. I also removed all anti-malware that might have been running (actually did that yesterday).<br/>
<br/>
any other ideas? this is the only game that crashes on me. No other ...

Couple of things occur to me.<br/>
<br/>
Can you launch Media Player outside the game, and play music through it? Can you show a video on it?<br/>
<br/>
Do you have a stand-alone sound card? Or motherboard sound chip(s)? The last ...

<r> <I><s>[i]</s><e>[/i]</e></I>NEXT STEPS: <br/>
<br/>
1) Check that you have all of the above modules in your C:\Windows\System32\ and C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folders. If any of these are missing, they could be causing wmvcore.dll to fail loading properly. <br/>
2) If that doesn't work, see the ...

<r> Okay, trying now all the steps you recommended. <br/>
<br/>
In comparing my wmvcore.dll properties I noticed yours "opens with" C:\ Windows command prompt and mine opens with "unknown application." Could that be something? See attached. thx<br/>

First off, let me say "wow" and thank you for all your time trying to help a complete stranger.

I'm at work currently but will try everything when I get home this evening. thx!

Spoke too soon. Crashed again.[&:]

<t> Okay guys, looks like I fixed it "unintentionally". I upgraded my RAM from 12GB to 16GB this afternoon and I was able to run the game for about 15 mins and 5 turns without it crashing. I'll test it more later as family duties now call. <br/>
<br/>
Not sure how/why adding more RAM fixed it but ...

Okay. I think I missed something. What is "MP"???

thx


edit- never mind MP=Mediaplayer

thx

no matter what operating system you have and own / run, you need the pre requisites that come with the game in question, no matter what, if your not sure, re install them all<br/>

<QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>please make sure all game pre ...

<t> Thanks again for everyone's input. I think/might have identified a culprit. the soundcard??<br/>
<br/>
First, I ran the Memtest86 test and it came back with no errors. So that's good. <br/>
<br/>
Then I did what Bullwinkle58 suggested and cut the Sound subfolder out and put it on my desktop ...

<t> More info:<br/>
<br/>
I turned off all anti-malware and still CTD. Also, out of curiosity I did not click the End the Orders Phase button (red triangle) this time. Just left it up and running. It still crashed. <br/>
<br/>
Some sort of memory leak maybe?<br/>
<br/>
I'll try running the ...

<r> Hi Korvar,<br/>
<br/>
1. Its always the wmvcore.dll error. Never changes.<br/>
2. The timing of the error varies slightly. Its always after the second time I push the advance turn button (red triangle). I watch to see what phase it is in when it crashes and its always different. One time ...
