Confused about error message

[Omanes Alexandrapolites]

Hi potatodude,
This sounds like a disk error rather than an EB error. May I suggest that you try checking your disk for errors, faults or damaged sectors. You can do this by going into My Computer, right clicking on your hard-drive, selecting properties, selecting tools (I think) and then selecting check this disk for errors. Then you have to check all boxes and restart your PC. Sadly, this guide may be wrong, only my boss has admin powers on this PC, so I can't follow my own instructions, so sorry if you find them to be incorrect. Good luck!

Thanks for the reply guys, I ran the Check Disk program and there were no bad sectors found.

The memcheck comes out fine as well.

Hmmmm, the mystery deepens I guess.

Hmm, it 'sounds' strangely familiar to me yet I can't remember what causes it, nor how I got rid of it. Though I gather this may be something related to your graphics card. Maybe if you try fiddling with the settings?

[potatodude]

After an exhaustive amount of fiddling I am still having no luck. :(

Hi again PotatoeDude,
May I suggest you uninstall EB, uninstall R:TW, reinstall them both and see if you get the error message again. It may be a corrupted installation of the game. Good luck, cheers!

Hiya! I too had the same notion of uninstalling and then doing a clean install again but it didn't seem to help. I updated to 0.81 using the 0.80 -> 0.81 patch method, tested it, then uninstalled and used the full installer. The problem still creeps up and is more or less the same in any case. I deleted the map.rwa thing as suggested in both instances before starting the campaign.

"Luckily" I got the same sort of error message when I ran IExplorer last night, which makes me guess that it's not EB, but rather RTW which tries to do some weird thing it's not capable of. As if the stored data was already removed from the memory when RTW tried to read it.
