bruno2016 Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 (edited) So far CMBN 4.04 was running smoothly (with all modules incl. the Vehicle Pack) on my WIN 10. After downloading patch 4.05, and even updating the C++ library, the game now systematically crashes at launch (whether in normal mode or as admin). Meanwhile I had activated the just released Pack 2 update. Edited June 8 by bruno2016 added one element of info 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StieliAlpha Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Hi there I would address @BFCElvis or contact the customer support directly. The usually the best way to get a helpful answer quickly. With some luck, even on weekends. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultradave Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 In the meantime you could try downloading the full 4.05 installer and see if that works. Sounds like something in the installer was blocked from being installed. The full installer might be better? Worth a shot while waiting for the help desk. Rename the existing installation to something so that it isn't overwritten (or copy out any saves and mods somewhere safe first) Dave. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lieutenant Ash Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 May be an issue with your antivirus program identifying the installer as a virus and stopping the game installing properly. I had this issue with Norton AV when installing the patch yesterday. We had to temporarily disable Norton to get the 4.05 installer to run properly (Luckily my daughter is more tech savvy than me). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reinstalled the "CMBN Engine 4 (v4.0 through v4.05)" but to no avail. Still crashes in the same exact conditions. Note: is this patch really a full reinstall when the file name is CMBN Win v4.05 Update.rar? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing interrupted the install procedure. I use the Windows Defender antivirus. When it goes off, usually this is at the beginning of an install where u have to confirm in multiple steps that u want to go ahead regardless. Nothing like this here.

bruno2016 Posted June 12 Author Share Posted June 12 Guys, my bad. I just realized the patch installed itself in the D:\Documents drive instead of the original C;\Program file (x86) one. I replaced the directory address and now it launches fine. Sorry for the time wasted. N 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vacillator Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Good result and worth posting the 'fix' for others. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Oh yeah common issue. It doesn't know where it was installed before so it starts off pointing to the current default. Anyone who did something different (or has had an install as far back as a previous default location) is at risk of this surprise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
