Sneaksie Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Which version do you have? Published by Kalypso in German, by Anuman in French, English one from this site, or another? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villi Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 I got it in pc games shops in Iceland, I see on the DVD disk it is published by Battlefront under license by 1c. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneaksie Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Well, you can download and install Moscow addon and patch from this site, of wait a couple of days for new big patch which is almost out. Also, you may have this Moscow addon and patch already installed, check whether you have TOW_14.exe in game dir in addition to TOW.exe, and try to run it. I suppose you have Vista - then you should run the game executable by selecting Run as Administrator from context menu (right-click on game exe file). But what is more important - it seems that the game itself is not even beginning to start in your case. When you run the game first time, eLicense window should pop up asking for license code. If you didn't see such window, it means that copy protection fails to load, probably because of Vista... i don't have information about eLicense possible problems, i hope someone from BF will be able to help you.

Villi Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 I have XP on both pc, and I have downloaded the Moscow Add-on but same story. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneaksie Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Did you see eLicense window during first game launch? Try to run TOW_14.exe instead of default one. Do you have log.lst file in game directory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlapHappy Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Villi, did you run the TOW setup program first? My first time I had to run the setup and then RESTART THE COMPUTER and then run TOW.exe. I was able to get a boot-up the first time when I did that. Also, there are certain video card settings that can cause your problem. If you have an Nvidia type card, go into the control panel settings for the card and turn "extension limit" OFF.

Villi Posted January 25, 2008 Author Share Posted January 25, 2008 But what is going on that me computer repairers specialist can’t ever get this game to run??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneaksie Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 If you didn't see eLicense window, then this is probloem with copy protection system. I don't have information about possible eLicense issues, you should ask Madmatt or someone else from Battlefront. Write them a letter describing that eLicense window doesn't show up. In addition, new big patch which will be out in a couple of days (i hope so) might solve your problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmatt Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 The version for sale by Battlefront.com should never been found in a PC shop so its unlikely that the version you have is either legitimate or one that uses the elicense system. We only support versions purchased DIRECTLY from us online. Madmatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sneaksie Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Villi Uninstall the game and delete it's folder with any remains. Reinstall it from your DVD and don't install Moscow addon because it's incompatible with your version. Then right-click on TOW.exe in game directory, choose Properties and see whether it has Version tab. If yes, tell us version of the .exe (File Version). Do you see Kalypso word anywhere on the box? It's logo should be there together with BF and 1C logos. If there is no Kalypso logo, can you photograph the box? Try to run the TOW.exe again and if log.lst file appear in game directory, please send it to dina@1c.ru. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
