Net Framework Issues

Is the game compatible with later versions of Net Framework? I have installed the game, but it produces a net framework error and will not run. I have 3.5 installed.

It does require some files unique to .Net 2.0, so you should try installing the appropriate version from the redist folder in your install.

Sorry to hear this. I might be able to shine some light on this case if you would be so kind to copy&paste the full .Net Error into this thread. (click on details button in the error message window too to get full error text if that button is available)

Best regards,
Vic

Hi IronX,

Thanks for posting the whole "blurb".

It seems to me that the installer didnt correctly install the Arial fonts in your font directory.

In the zip file attached to this post you'll find the Arial fonts you need to put in your Windows/Fonts directory.

Best regards,
Vic

Fixed!

When installing the fonts you posted, Vista advised me that they were already there. So I over wrote them and that fixed the problem. Perhaps they were corrupted? Anyway, thanks again for your help. I'm really looking forward to playing the game!

Very odd - the installer does check for that issue. We'll try to duplicate this tomorrow and update the installer if we can find the flaw that let this get by.

Regards,
