[the game fails launching]

I tried to run the game with the patch 1.01.

It didn't fix the problem. Do you have any clue or do you plan to fix it ? I know HC is working hard, but I would really like to play

Thanks.

Any news ?

Hi Martin.

I tried "/noexecute=AlwaysOff". I also listed the different combinations (sc2.exe, Editor and runservice) as an exception in the DEP settings (with reboot each time). It didn't fix the problem.

Sutpid question about the command:

rundll32 sysdm.cpl, NoExecuteAddFileOptOutList "C:\Program Files\Battlefront\Strategic Command 2 Blitzkrieg\SC2.exe"

Should I launch this in the "execute" windows ?

[the game fails launching]

I updated windows (although I have an automatic update, I had few updates missing). I rebooted and triedto launch SC2.exe and it worked. I played a few turns ona scenario and quit the game. I was happy at that time but...

I rebooted again to validate a last update for windows. Then I launched again SC2 and got the usual error. :confused:

Here are the updates I installed:

Windows XP Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 samedi 20 mai 2006 Windows Update

Windows XP Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool (KB892130) samedi 20 mai 2006 Windows Update

At the last reboot, I installed also:

Windows XP Mise à jour de sécurité pour Microsoft .NET Framework, version 1.1 Service Pack 1 (KB886903) samedi 20 mai 2006 Windows Update

and after this it didn't work anymore. I'm really confused.

Hi Moon.

The boot.ini file:

[boot loader]

timeout=0

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS

[operating systems]

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptOut

C:\CMDCONS\BOOTSECT.DAT="Console de r‚cup‚ration Microsoft Windows XP" /cmdcons

I'm updating all I can right now. I'll see if it improves things.

Thanks again for your help.

thanks !

I have no idea if it's a feature but when I try to launch for instance the editor (and get the error described) then I don't see anymore the "license control" when I right click on the SC2.exe. Then if I try to launch sc2.exe, I still get the error but the "license control" option has switched from Editor to sc2.exe and so on.

Hi maverick44.

That's correct, I'm french too. So a problem with the french XP version might be the beginning of a clue. I should add that the demo worked perfectly.

Wait and see...

My config: Windows XP family edition. PIV 2.4GHz, GeForce 6600, 1Go RAM

Hi. When I try to launch SC2, I got the same error message, and followed the procedure.

My computer is on XP-family edition too.

I do have the DEP and I put the 3 files

SC2.exe, Editor.exe and runservice.exe in the "turn on DEP for all windows programs and services EXCEPT those I select" box. It didn't fix the problem.

When I right click on the SC2 short cut-> license details, I can see my license is here.

Any news to fix this problem ?

Should I run dxdiag and send it to you ?

Thank you for your help.

More details about "Forces Francaises Libres" can be found here:

Forces Francaise libres

In summary (since it's in french):

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

december 1940:

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

-> 7000 mens in UK

-> 17500 mens in Africa

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

december 1941:

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

-> around 50000 mens in total all over the world.

among them:

-> 1150 in UK

-> 26640 In Asia

-> 5200 in Libya

-> 18000 in other parts of Africa.

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

december 1942:

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

-> around 70000 mens in total

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

december 1943:

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

-> 4 divisions in Italy

-> 1 division in Corsica

-> 3 Infantry divisions and 4 Armored divisions in North Africa

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

september 1944:

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

560 000 mens

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

end of 1944:

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

1 million mens

among them:

-> 6 Infantry divisions and 3 Armored divisions in Alsace (France).

-> 1 division in Atlantic coast (I guess around the german pockets)

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

may 1945:

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

1 250 000 mens (to be compared to the 5 000 000 mens from USA, UK and Canada in Europe)

among them:

-> 10 divisions in Germany

-> 3 division in the Alpes

-> 3 divisions in Atlantic coast

So what we can see is that FFL was not really significant in terms of SC2 scale before ~ end 1941,

but then it kept growing before liberation of France which is not really simulated in the game.

So I would suggest some script that would give some Free French units between ~ 1942 and 1944

(may be one corps or 2). It could be triggered by the liberation of Algeria for instance.
