[Moe]

Warnings.log and dxdiag.txt please.

I have the same issue, as soon as the opening scenes end, and it tries to load the main menu / starting screen it crashes without any error message displayed.

The warning text says:

Do you have any mods installed? Can you post your w40k.module as well please?

[Emp8787]

I have no mods installed.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Can you post the full log files please? You cut off the top part of the warnings.log for example.

[Emp8787]

Well most of that is either personal information or unrelated "comma out" coding. I don't really wish to post my personal information on a public forum...

I'll post the full warning, if you feel that it may be of help, but I am going to take out personal info within it, as for the module, I think I only missed out the author/date/copyrights etc. There is no actual running data until it hits the "[global]".

Warnings.log was important because something is conflicting with your module file and engine. Your DoW seems to think atleast that it is patched to 1.20 nicely, so that module file you posted should work, unless there is broken comment line in it or something else in that top part. Other choise is that your patch failed somehow, but as there is no patch.log (was this what relic meant by saying patcher gives more feedback? :P ) you can't really know. You could post that .module file with all lines in it or check your self it has any lines that are not comments for some reason.

Other possible choises is that you somehow managed to skip 1.10 patch that did those changes to engine so that it requires .module file format you have. But since you managed to skip that at somepoint your game doesn't understant that module file and is bitching about it. You can try to use older format by editing one line (if i recall correctly).

Change this line
UIName = $38000
to
Name = $38000

Note that this is not a very good way to fix things even if it works as you have something wrong in your game if this works. Also you propably won't be able to play online with this fix. It is just something you can try to find out if this is the case.

[Emp8787]

Nope that doesn't work either, I've also tried to revert code back to the original from the module, but it conflicts with the new 1.2 patch. I also checked it to the original for breaks in the coding etc. it seems to be the exact same in regards to how it is written. Thanks for the idea though, I'll try anything! =P

[Edit]: Ya a patchlog would be nice, or maybe a system for reverting back to 1.1 so I can check what the differences are and at least play heh.

[meppa]

Just double checking things and i noticed something strange.

14:09:43.9 GAME -- Failed to find mod W40k

Double check that you do have folder called w40k and that you also have file called W40k.module It needs to have exactly that name.

[Emp8787]

Hmm, yea that is strange, but both the folder and the module are there with those exact names...

[Moe]

A reinstall might do the trick. If you back up your Profile folder, you won't lose any savegames.

[Emp8787]

Ok, yea I figured I would probably have to eventually anyways, thanks for the help!
