Firstly, you'll probably be asked what the specifications of the machine you are trying to install it on. Secondly, whether you have read the installation readme (there is one, IRC).

PB,

Welcome. Can you please clarify some things for me.

Can you open any other scenario?

If so, what version number appears at the bottom right of the battlemap? The latest version should be 3.4.151.

PB,

Rest assured the game does work. I suspect that your original game or the patch did not download properly. I recommend you uninstall everything and reinstall, first the game and then the patch #4 ( ie v3.4.151 ). BTW this is a comprehensive patch, so you don't need any of the intervening ones.

Step 1 Reinstall the game.
Step 2 Verify that the scenarios you previously had problems with actually work.
Step 3 Install the Patch #4
Step 4 Verify the scenarios work.

Please get back to me and let me know you went. Don't worry we'll get you back up and playing COTA.
