Installed fine...now wont start...

[Ripperjk]

I get the error message:

System Initialization Failed!
Could not find the required data. Make sure you are running this utility from your Dawn of War directory.

I hit ok and it gives me the graphics util but the only thing there is to do with it is hit the cancel button.

Same thing happens with the game exe.


Everything is running from where it should be from the looks of it.

Im going to try a fresh install I guess. *headache*


Edit: Heres what my Graphicsconf.log says:

Application closed without errors


No there is no Data folder in my GraphicsOptions folder - if there needs to be - the installer musta broke =P

Hmmmm almost like it only half installed. Keep us posted!

[ceejayoz]

I assume that means he should re-install?

[ÜberJumper]

Yes, that would require a re-install.

[Ripperjk]

Ok after checking the logs - both the graphicoptions and engine folders were missing Data folders inside them.

Once I put them in there - the game fired up - but once I got the profile creation (which you have to do to play the game) - the "create" button didnt work.

So something's all funky and I havent the slightest idea what it could be at this point.

So yeah - re-install it is.

[Ripperjk]

Re-install worked fine. Games runny smoothly now.

Happily bashing orks as I post this :fight:
