Application closed without errors

--------------------------------------------

and here's the error message...


The application W40kWA.exe has encountered an error.
We apologize for any inconvenience.

thats it...

[TBS]

that shows you running DoW - is no log generated at all when you try to run WA?

[phatprick]

i guess not, because when i click on the 'play the game' tab, just an error window pops up saying:

'The application W40kWA.exe has encountered an error.
We apologize for any inconvenience.'

and it asks me to send a error report

yes, and that report contain details from the 1st post

[TBS]

well you didnt actually post the logs in the first post, just told me where on your computer to find them :p

Anyway, has WA ever worked? Have you ever had any mods installed for DoW or WA?

Run memtest86 (google) to check your RAM for errors.

[phatprick]

no first time installed, and thats whats happening since then

i dont have any errors...

shout it work if i install sp2?
