CD 2 install problem

[Jim D Burns]

I just got my physical shipment of Crown of Glory, and CD 2 is messed up. It will not install using the default "place CD 2 in drive D:" configuration. The file was burned onto the CD still in a folder called cdfiles, so to get it to install, you have to type in D:\cdfiles where it prompts you for drive D: only.

Then you have to change it back for CD 3.

Hi Erik,

No need to investigate anything, I got the game installed fine. I just figured other less PC savy folks would want to know how I got the install to work, thus my post.

Thanks,

Jim

I had the same problem and used the same fix.

Ok, glad it's easy to work around but I'm not happy to hear about the problem. Can one of you still please e-mail me your order number at erikr@matrixgames.com?

I had the same problem - discovered that one had to open the folder on the cd to access and click on the actual file.

Several other problems which I hope someone can advise about :-

1. Clicked for "Detailed Naval Battle" and following Error message came up -
"Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Lirary Assertion failed!
Program: f:\Crownof Glory\CrownofGloryII.exe
File : C:\Projects|COG2Platoz|Source\game.cpp Line4108
Expression : g<NoNations

Had a similar problem with another game but cannot recall the solution.

2. Conquered Batavia after successful seige, and tried to build militia in the two provinces (Friesland & Amsterdam ?)
but next turn when unit should have been built it showed zero turns to build, next turn showed -1 to build, next turn -
-2, etc. was this due to the provinces showing "unrest" ? (Had same problem a number of times when playing Turkey
and Russia in COG 1)

Just a FYI to all, the random sub-folder on CD2 was an error on DR's side. We've asked them to re-burn new CD #2s without the sub-folder and mail them out to all affected customers. It's my understanding that those replacement CDs will go out by the end of this week. While it's not a critical issue by any stretch, it's annoying and we'd like to make sure the boxed versions are as easy to install as possible. It's also been fixed going forward.
