View Full Version : [SOLVED]Crash after Game load screen

Ok, so I was having problems with the mission editor and thought that my DoW files had been corrupted. I uninstalled and reinstalled the game, and now, not only does the mission editor not work, but the game exits, as if someone had gone into the task manager and hit "End Process" on DoW. The THQ, Relic, and intro movie screens play just fine, but as soon as it shows the load screen for the game itself, it just quits. My game is obviously not updated since i can't get into the game to make use of the auto updater and the patch on fileplanet is corrupted. My dxdiag.txt is attached, hopefully one of you guys can help me.

Sincerely,

Kurohyou

*EDIT*
ok, i know you all probably need my warnings file so, its in now.

uninstall the game, delete the DoW install directory, reinstall, patch up to 1.3.

C:/Program Files/THQ/Dawn of War

Thanks that did the trick. Why doesn't the uninstall utility completely remove the Dawn of War Folder tho?

Now if someone can just help me out with my ME post (http://forums.relicnews.com/showthread.php?t=69182) , i'll be all set.

It doesnt remove it because there were mod components which were the cause of your problems and as the mods werent part of the DoW installation the uninstaller had no reason to remove them.
