Loading campaign freezes. What is wrong?

[GaiusMarius]

I have tried to load my campaign many times now and every time it freezes. Only every 5-6 time it loads normally. I have tried to look at the Technical Help and I couldn't find anything that help me to solve my problem. I did get the EB validation results which said this:

Maybe I have a corrupt download of the EB install and I should download another? Or is there something else wrong? I can see that it is the very core of the campaign that won't load.

This is probably your problem:
Changed file: .\rometw.exe (expected checksum de01375b675cbd95b7efcb745e72ead6, got 632f884ca993a430038a03d76bfa2f50)

Restore the original executable and use the CD. Also you can see in the Windows event log whether there is some information concerning the crash.

Well.. First of all I would like to say that I think EB is a wonderfull game, but for two or three days I have tried to get EB to work proberly. I have done all what there is to do in the forum to help me solve this problem, but still EB freezes after I have started or loaded a game. i don't know what I have done wrong. If I have installed EB incorrect. First I installed RTW, started a game, it worked! Then I installed EB and it dosn't work. The folder where EB should be is in the RTW folder right? Maybe I can't play EB at all, because of something mysterious..:/

[bovi]

Did you read my post? You installed it correctly, but you need to not use a nocd crack. Also, define "all what there is to do in the forum".

[GaiusMarius]

What I mean is that I have tried to look around the forum see find out what I did wrong, but I couldn't find any answer. To day I didn't use a nocd crack after I installed it again and used my cd, but again EB freezed on me. All of the other installation, the EBdocumentation and EBscript ect. should be installed in the samme folder as EB right?

Then you need to read the validation post for a number of suggestions that can help you. For instance, do you have Nero installed? Have you tried upgrading and downgrading your display drivers? These are examples, not all of them.

Last night I removed all of RTW and EB. Now I have installed it again to EB 1.2. This it what the EB Validation results are:

Then you need to read the validation post for a number of suggestions that can help you.
Emphasis added. Please post the checklist and say which of them you've done.

Now the freezing part is gone, because I have Window mode on and I can now play the game without the game freezing.=)

[bovi]

Great, that makes two people who that have helped :beam:
