Thanks Sean. Glad you are around to help. Interesting to me to note that the game would not run right after I updated to v. 2.5. At that point, the game was installed (where it had been for several years) as per the default install choices (in the C: drive). Wonder what happened with the update process to cause all the trouble. Happy trails (or is that trials?)!
I reinstalled from within Steam. I put it in the D: drive (1TB hard drive as opposed to my C: (250MB SSD, which has little room left). Prompted by your last post, it I have apparently blundered (as often seems to happen when I diddle around with a problem) into at least a partial solution. I went and had a look in the file with the FELH executables: D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\FE Legendary Heroes. There, I found these executables: DXAtlas.exe; LegendaryHeros.exe;
Hi Sean, The \Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FE Legendary Heroes i s still there, but empty. You are correct: the \Documents\My Games\LegendaryHeroes is there, but empty. There were and are are no Nvidia applications, services or processes running (according to Task Manager) that I could find. (I generally run a restricted boot.) Beyond that, I am sorry -- I am not clear what is involved or how to go about tu
After deleting all in the Legendary Heroes folder in the Documents Folder, as well as all in the FE Legendary Heroes folder under steamapps\common, I reinstalled the game and tried to run. Still no joy. Both those folder from which I deleted everything are STILL empty. I searched for a debug.err file for this game. Nothing found. Previously, upon advice of Yarlen (Discordapp.com), I ran DXSETUP.exe (hope that was the correct application). Also found VCredistrib for 2005, 2008 and 2010
I disabled MS Security Essentials and Malwarebytes, went to Steam, selected FELH, and clicked uninstall. What came up next was a message to the effect 'are you sure? -- you'll have to reinstall before you can play this game again.' Never got the 'delete local content' menu. So right now, the game is uninstalled; I don't know about local content. Is there a way I can check and delete, manually, any local content? Thanks for your continued efforts.
Oh, I will add that there is no new debug.err file -- only the old one from July 14 BEFORE I updated to v. 2.5.
Well, after numerous attempts to overcome difficulties and considerable time spent, I got as far as Reply #3. I right click on FELH, but can find no "delete local content" button. All there is (that looks at all likely) is an uninstall button.
Same problem for me. I played with no problem in morning of July 14. Later, I successfully updated game to v. 2.5, and then tried to play again. I get VERY brief message that game is preparing to launch. Then, nothing, despite waiting for five minutes or more. I am running Win 7, 64 bit, SP1. Task manage shows nothing. I tried deleting and then reinstalling the game. Still same result. I CAN FIND NO CURRENT debug.err file anywhere on my computer. There is a debug.err file, but it is from BEFO
Thanks for your quick reply. Must say I'm disappointed. Seems to me that once one has sold something, one should either follow up with support INDFINITELY, or fix the software to no longer require 'activation.'
I bought this game from Stardock years ago. GameStop apparently wants nothing further to do with old games originally purchased from Stardock. At any rate, this game is installed on my computer under GameStop, however the game will not let me play without 'activating.' I have the code, however, get an error message upon submitting the code: "Writing of license file failed." Please help -- I already paid good money once for this game!
If I buy and download LH, is Steam the only option? Will I be forced to download SecuROM in order to play? Thanks for any info.
This old gamer still plays MOO2 from time to time; love it! MOO2 and Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri are my two favorite games. I'd love to see an up-to-date remake of MOO2. [e digicons]5*[/e]
