I get the feeling there's a very simple fix to this problem, but I can't figure it out for myself.
Hello,
what you need to do is un-install your RTW and re-install a clean version of RTW 1.0. download the 1.3 separate patch. do not use your BI to update to 1.3. After which then you patch to 1.5 also using the separate download patch. follow the instructions to BL installation. Make sure you rename the music.dat and put in the music folder if you're using the music addon or else the loading page for Blue Lotus will hang.
It worked for me. Now I want to try out some member's suggestions to get rid of pirates and rebels to clear my CTD problems.
