Error on Load

Post by tsnouffer »

In the last few days I've started to receive the error depicted in the attached screenshot. I had been running the 1.15 beta without any problems for a few weeks. If someone can point me in the right direction, that would be great as I am not a Windows expert. I will note this happens every time I try to launch AtB.

At worst, can someone point me to a method for uninstalling the game so I can the reinstall it?

Thanks!

Did you install any mods like the chit mod?

I did, but have had it in for awhile. I'll swap the originals back in and see if that helps and report back. Thanks

Rats. I swapped back in the original Units folder but still received the error message on launch.

[EDIT: I even restarted Windows. No dice.]

whenever I get application weirdness I will usually uninstall/reinstall. Looks like the ms xna routines are unhappy for some reason, missing graphics?
You can uninstall the game via the entry in the start menu.

Thanks. That is the route I'll take.

I downloaded the 1.15 beta and am waiting for a refreshed download link from Slitherine for the main game.

I in the meantime, I uninstalled AtB using the Control Panel. I noticed some files and folders were left behind in the Awakening the Bear folder. For instance, all the main high res maps are still there. There are some xnb files to. Probably a total of about a dozen folders and maybe 50+ files remained after install. Is that normal?

when detritis is left over from old installs or add-ons, I will normally go in after un-installing and delete the game folder (first checking that there is no uninstall entry for add ons, etc).
That way when you re install the game you can be pretty sure it's a clean start, and if error messages persist, it's probably some thing else, system related.

Thanks. My first reinstall failed. I then removed the detritis and tried again. Bingo! At least with the base install. Still need to try the beta upgrade but it seems promising.
