Game Crash

[cydius]

To start off, Ive been running Dom2 for months with no problems. Last night i hosted my usual once a week game np. today i turned my comp on and cant launch dom2 now..

When i launch the shortcut I get a new window (black) it flickers a little and then closes. ive tried adding the -sw and -dd switches to no avail.I have no clue whats happening. any ideas??

[Johan K]

the -dd switch produces a log file called log.txt. At the end of it you might get a hint of what went wrong.

do i need to manually delete the temp directory?

[Johan K]

You might.

Check if this "C:\DOCUME~1\Chris\LOCALS~1\Temp/dom16882" directory exists. If it does (it shouldn't) you can delete it and try again.

Johan, this issue comes regularly : couldn't the game be patched to del the temp dir if it already exists rather than freezing ? Or would this be a platform-compatibility issue ?

[Johan K]

What surprises me is why it get the same name every time. It is supposed to create a dir called dom + a random number. The chance of this being the same as the Last time should be very small.
